Last night we attended Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Circus XTREME! at the Sleep Train Arena. I am thrilled to tell you that they delivered on their promise to astonish and amaze us with some of the coolest acts ever! This energetic circus production was everything that we hoped to see and more! One of the things I loved about the night was that my husband and I were just as entertained as our kids.
Here is my youngest son’s “This is awesome!” pose.
The ringmaster had an incredible voice and since he sang throughout the production, this made it extra enjoyable. Our favorite acts were the BMX freestyle riders, trampoline acrobats, and bungee skydivers. Oh yes, and the high wire stunts and funny poodle tricks! We were also impressed by the Mongolian Marvels strongmen who created a human pyramid with a combined weight of over 880 pounds! We had an incredible night and without hesitation recommend attending this weekend while Circus XTREME is in town.

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
