Ringling Museum Questions or Comments

What to See

You will find that it is easy to see it all during your visit. There is plenty of time to tour each of the exhibits, take pictures, ask questions and even time to relax and take in the beautiful views over Sarasota Bay. It helps that they provide golf cart travel service, which really speeds things up.

Sarasota Circus Museum

Saw a review on Fox 13 this morning, as Bill Murphy was on site to do a review for the tv station. They have added a few odds and ends at the circus museum, which sits right next to the main building. Fox has named ringling the sixth wonder of tampa bay. They must have started a new list, of the top ten wonders of tampa bay. I will have to watch again tomorrow, and they likely will post the top 10 list, once complete. Oh, the viewers did the voting. They had Maureen Zaremba on discussing the history, guided tours, the experience. The rose garden looks so nice. Oh, on Bayshore Road in Sarasota. I had thought it was Bradenton.
