The visitor center gift shop was our favorite for souvenir options, although you have to try out a licorice stick from the candy shop in town.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; To see more about Colonial Williamsburg, be sure to do the Tour the Town Online at their website (linked above).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=4&gt;FAMILY FRIENDLY PROS-&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Lots to see and learn about!&amp;nbsp; Relatively talkative staff; who are very passionate about history.&amp;nbsp; They dress in period costume and act as if they're from the time.

Not so in my family; my kids have never been that fond of the circus.&amp;nbsp; So, when I told them we would be going to the circus Wednesday night, I got "that look".&amp;nbsp; After explaining to them that the Ringling Bros and Barnum &amp;amp; Bailey Circus would be a far cry from any circus we had previously seen (it is really THE circus....no comparison with any other) they were excited to give it a chance.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Upon arriving we noticed the large area set-up in the parking lot.&amp;nbsp; It is called the Animal Open House and it is open to all ticket holders.&amp;nbsp; There you can get up close to the 4-legged stars of the circus, take photos of them and ask questions to the staff who cares for the animals.&amp;nbsp; Expect a line but it really is well worth it especially for little ones who will be amazed at the ability to be so close to animal stars!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We managed to be the front of one of the lines forming at the front doors (definitely recommended!).&amp;nbsp; That meant we were able to be some of the first people to go onto the circus floor for the All Access Pre-show whch starts one hour before the actual circus.&amp;nbsp; The Pre-Show is a hands-on experience called "Clown College".&amp;nbsp; The kids got to meet the clowns they would soon see&amp;nbsp; in the show.&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/114797-107130/9093004.jpg?a=8"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;They were able to try their hand at walking on a low tightrope, watch a clown transform into his character, try on some circus wardrobe,&amp;nbsp;and enter a drawing to try to win a piece of artwork from Asia the elephant.&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/114797-107130/9093003.jpg?a=15"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;There is lots to do during the pre-show and it was a wonderful way to spend time waiting for the big show to start.&amp;nbsp; We were glad we arrived at the pre-show early because it soon became crowded and we were ready to head to our seats.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Before the show there were many vendors walking around offering a variety of tasty treats.&amp;nbsp; Though some items were quite pricey, we did find it nice that many came with a souvenir.&amp;nbsp; The $9 lemonade (which was delicious, by the way) came in a commemorative sippy-bottle type of cup.....a nice one.&amp;nbsp; The cotton candy came with a commemorative hat.&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/114797-107130/9093002.jpg?a=79"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Out in the entry hallway area there were many more vendors selling treats and souvenirs, including delicious soft pretzels which were well-priced at only $3.&amp;nbsp; We happily munched away at our popcorn, cotton candy, pretzels, soda and lemonade while watching others enjoy the end of the All Access Pre-Show.&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We were surprised by how quickly the main show started after the pre-show was packed up.&amp;nbsp; Even though we had arrived quite early, the time went so quickly because it seemed there was always something going on.&amp;nbsp; The show was really amazing;&amp;nbsp; the clowns very funny and engaging, the animals so well trained, and the acrobatics awe-inspiring.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Two of our favorite acts were the&amp;nbsp;two girls being shot by a cannon and the two young men who walked inside and outside the big metal rotating circles (not sure what the real name is!).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/114797-107130/9093001.jpg?a=20"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Worried about your kids wanting to try some of the tricks at home?&amp;nbsp; The circus thought of that too....and did a big dance number telling kids not to try any of it at home which I thought was a great way to drive the point home to little ones.....a catchy little song we were still singing on the trip home.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This was much different than any circus my children had previously experienced, and even the teenagers were quickly changed to circus-lovers!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; About an hour into the show there was a short intermission, then about half an hour more show after.&amp;nbsp; It seemed to be about a perfect length for little ones to stay engaged.&amp;nbsp; I would highly recommend the Ringling Bros and Barnum &amp;amp; Bailey Circus.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Remember if you are going (and in select cities), use this code for a great discount on seats:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;Buy your tickets at &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/"&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;www.ticketmaster.com&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;
