On Monday the art gallery is free

I did see original newspaper articles on the walls about the fire.

I do not believe you can purchase online. There are many shopping services where you can get them to buy it in person and ship it to you.

You can contact the circus museum in Sarasota Florida and ask it's been several years since I have volunteered there

As long as you show a student ID you qualify for the student discount

There are full size train cars at Ringling. I don't think they have any engines in the property anywhere only specialized circus train cars. The main part of Tibbals is a massive miniature circus display

Expensive, but worth it.

Absolutely!!! I wasn't sure about it either but it's great but make sure you see the house as well. There is a lovely sit down Cafe on site which is nice for lunch.

I'm sorry I don't know. I went on a Monday when many exibits are free.

Yes

Not sure but you could go to their website to find out.

I did not see any during our visit.

Unknown.

They are not open on Christmas nor New Years.

Yes!

Yes they are

We have a staff of archivists that could potentially help with that. There are documents from the time, and you may get lucky and find some answers

There is a physical gift shop at the museum, but I do not believe they sell anything online.

When we went it was like access to the museum/only bottom floor of the house/art museum was $90 for 2 people. I think the two museums were included and we had the option to add on the second story of the mansion but it was more expensive.

Interesting. Will look into 'Shira.' Do you have any more information that could narrow the search? Late 1800s to early 1900s is a lot!

On Monday the rippling muesum and artbgalleru are free on Monday to everyone.

Open. They were painting back in April but opened while we were there.

The old museum is closed, but the new one is open. The new one is limited in some fashion (compared to a visit years ago) but has a huge model that is extremely impressive as well as interactive displays.

We paid $35 each

Entrance from $ 25

Different packages, Museum $25.00, Museum and House $35.00, Museum and whole house $45.00 each. That is the best of my memory. Go to Ringling web site. It is a great visit! We enjoyed it!

I believed that they are different prices to enter but it is worth it for any you go into

Very comfortable shoes since there is a lot of walking but there is a tram they'll take you from The Ticket Center to Ca'd'Zan and bring/ wear some sunscreen and maybe a camera.

Yes quite a lot of walking unless you take the tram from The Ticket Center to Ca'd'Zan. Other than that were comfortable shoes and also bring sunscreen maybe a camera

Mugs, Signs that say things like This is my circus and these are my monkeys ! A beautiful coffee table books. Posters like old ones. Christmas ornaments of different animals and circus stars.

Yes, at the area where you purchase tickets.

They do, just depends on what areas of the grounds you are also going to explore. https://www.ringling.org/admissions-and-tours

The place is worth the visit and cost. Monday's the grounds and art museum are free to my knowledge.

Yes it is very nice

There are clowns on display in pictures and statues, however I did not see any live or moving clowns. I don't believe it would be scary but use your discretion. It is truly an amazing place to visit!

Yes a lot of place

The brothers who founded the Ringling Circus.

Depends on which tours you go on. There is a fee to go into the museums and then two seperate fees for the different tours of the estate.

No

The art museum is free on Mondays but not the circus museum. That is $25 per person.

The art museum is free on Mondays. The tour of the mansion and the circus museums are not.

Yes and they're open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except on certain holiday

Yes

Depends on how many show areas to visit?

Two places - a sit-down place called Muse inside the visitor center (with outdoor seating) and a cafe nearby. Both have excellent food.

I also would recommend the guided tours. Spend as much time as you can in all the areas it is fantastic with a fantastic story. A Personnel in the food building are very friendly and helpful. So enjoy your trip it is worth every penny

I'm guessing the actual circus started I, believe in the early 1900's and the museum was built later. It is awesome loads of Windows showing years ago up to present with miniature buildings and people. I spent 4 hrs in it ,and had to exclude more exhibits. I wasn't time to go into the gift shop. Their final show was in Dec 2017 and so sad to see it end . They were forced to give up their elephants, and sales dwindled There is also a fabulous art museum displayed in the mansion that the owners lived in for over a century. You'll want to see it if ever you're in the area.

Call them is the only way to get THAT answer correctly. It's a awesome place to visit.

No, closed today.

How much is ticket

It's a pretty flat area with wide sidewalks for pretty easy walking. The buildings are a bit far from each other as well. You walk through the museums. They have a golf cart service that is free and the people that work there are very friendly.
