We only went to the art museum It was huge and wow, what a selection . We are members of the Bishop and it has a reciprocal admission with The Ringling so it was free. We plan to go back to see the other buildings. There is a ton of cool things to see. Very well done and worth going to. Free parking, and they have a nice Cafe above the visitor center and gift shop. There are many ponds, gardens, and statuesart outside as well. It is right on Sarasota Bay with beautiful views
This place is awesome. There are multiple museums on the grounds, along with the mansion and beautiful gardens. You can easily spend a full day here in order to be able to see everything. The coffee shop above the gift shop has really good coffee.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$21–30
This place is much bigger than it looks. It was clean, nice and cool. Lots of great art to look at and the circus to learn about. It will take a few hours to get through this property. Beautiful gardens and property. You are not allowed to take photos inside so I took a few outside.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$21–30
A nice chance to walk around a Franco-Italian piazza from 100 years ago, managed and maintained very nicely. One ticket gets you into almost the entire grounds usually, and my little nephews 7 & 8 and I really enjoyed the Summer Circus Spectacular before making the most of our day. The show was excellent. It’s very intimate in a small theater, no three-ring circus. This is so much the better! The clowns draw you in and make you feel they’ve prepared the show for you alone. The woman from Ethiopia is an incredible juggler, and we also loved seeing the balancing act, acrobats from Ukraine on the double swings, and the acrobat on the long silk rope. We had cheesy macaroni and fish tacos respectively for lunch, but the museum and playground, and we walked through the mansion turned art museum. Fantastic day even in 100 degrees. A great place to talk a walk-and-talk! We bought tickets when we walked up, but we got there exactly at 10AM.
This place is pretty amazing. I would recommend the mansion tour, although a little pricey, it's the only way to see the upper floors. The staff is pretty friendly and the views are amazing. They also have a torture tube slide made out of metal heating in the Florida sun. I seen a child go down it having an amazing time. Kids are so resilient.
Haven’t been here in many years since I was younger. New buildings, everything even nicer than I remember. Took the family for the day when the weather was nice, had a playground in the center in the park and the kiddo loved that. I loved the dioramas of the old circus setups. The grounds are as beautiful as ever and it was a great day to walk the grounds and see the many beautiful types of plants and flowers. As every time I’ve ever been always need more time, just means we will be back soon. There is so much to see, the grounds are worth the trip alone and then the museum for circus items and the art collection. You could easily fill several days or many trips to see it all.
One of the best if not the best collection of art in Florida! And the Ringling Circus museum is perfect for families. It’s very immersive and interactive . You could spend a full day exploring the museums and gardens! I recommend getting there right at opening to avoid the crowds. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves! Such a special place and worth the drive from out of town :
If your in Sarasota make sure you pay a visit to the museum. A fantastic look back in time and history. Some of the exhibits are amazing especially the railroad carriage. The scale model of the circus is unbelievable, so much work and time has gone into the making...... 50 years and counting. The art gallery is definitely worth a visit , some extremely good paintings , especially the native American ones. Pay the extra $10 to see the house, some beautiful deco and great views .
Worth it! The garden and three museums are wonderful. The view for the Sarasota Bay is stunning. For the exhibition, I love the art museum section, lots of paintings and well maintained for the whole area. Parking is super easy, with plenty of space. Just make sure you are hydrated enough since Florida is always hot!
The Ringling Museum is one of the steams main attractions for a reason — it’s amazing! We went to the circus museum, art museum, and walked around the gardens my favorite part!. The art museum is not overwhelmingly large, and you can probably walk your way through the whole thing in about 60-90 minutes. There is also the circus learning center and the Ca’d’Zan on the estate that we did not go into, but walked around and would love to see on our next visit.
