Sharon GrimshawAugust 24, 2013Trevino Cafe is a perfect stop for a relaxed lunch with a full bar. Food ranges from light and well prepared salads to burgers, panini and catch of the day.
Smile Smart Dental CenterOctober 6, 2011This museum/amazing expansive waterfront property has great events regularly. It serves as a great cultural and family-fun destination for tourists and locals alike! Fit this in to your weekend plans!
Men's Health MagApril 16, 2015It's only fitting that John Ringling, one of the five brothers who owned and operated "The Greatest Show on Earth," also had perhaps the greatest art collection on the planet. Read more
Randy Nataraj-AllenFebruary 5, 2023Excellent museum. Purchase your tickets online ahead of time in order to save some time waiting in line. Special exhibits are undated several times a year. Admission also includes the circus museum.- Joe WinnApril 17, 2013Awesome place, from the estate to the museums (and miniature circus). Beautiful rose garden and enormous banyan trees all throughout the property. Great deal for students: $5!
ENGMAJune 19, 2023Definitely give yourself time to explore so you’re not rushed at the end… lots to look at!
Jake GuttormssonApril 6, 2016Saw the Samurai show there in March. Great show. Great play ground for the kids. Food is expensive and not great, bring a picnic lunch.
B?rbara PSeptember 15, 2013Excellent place to go, the selection of art works is wonderful, the house, the rose garden, the view it is unforgettable. Highly recommended.- Men's Health MagFebruary 12, 2015One of the 5 Ringling brothers, John Ringling, housed his art collections in his extravagant Sarasota mansion—and burgeoning museum grounds.

Richard RussellJune 23, 2013Beautiful, inspiring place. The docents, sweet and helpful. Unfortunately the several paid staff we interacted with were curt and officious. There's no excuse for bad customer relations!
Sid YamakAugust 22, 2014one of the best museum in FL ..thanks to his will Mondays are free but it is worth entrance fee as well
Phillip W.August 3, 2013Experience some of the world's finest art, showcased in a beautiful manner. The gallery is open on Mondays for free - now that's art.
Bethany CulpMarch 26, 2013There's a fine art gallery, beautiful grounds, cafe, gift shop and mansion tours in addition to the circus museum. With so much to do, plan on spending the day!
If you are a student and/or have a student ID on hand, tickets are 5 dollars. You can get in for free if you say you are doing research. Same with the theatre.
Walt AtyeoSeptember 4, 2016The Circus Museum was good. Plenty to spent nearly all day. It is worth every penny.- Timothy ChisholmDecember 16, 2015My beautiful wife thought it was a circus...wrong! One of the most beautiful museums and private art collections around. Do not miss it...
Joe d. TinariApril 14, 2014A great museum and it's free to everyone every Monday. Don't miss this place !
Steven POSTLEJanuary 16, 2012Be prepared with money in the wallet. Ringling House Ca' d' Za is 25 for first floor, 5 more for second and 20 more for third floor...and they don't tell you thus when you buy initial ticket.
outlier forlifeDecember 15, 2013Everything is covered in dust! Except the new exhibits, which can't be photographed.. Major improvements needed in management.
Richard De VitaJuly 14, 2014One of our favorite places to visit when we are in Sarasota, it truly is a gem !
Fred PragerApril 26, 2012Check out the tour of the private areas of the Ca' d'Zan mansion. Well worth the additional cost!!!!
Ramsey MohsenDecember 28, 2011The art museum is the best + the patio at the mansion + the TREES next to the rose garden! <-- check it out!
Leslie BernsteinJanuary 6, 2018Visiting the grounds don't require a ticket and is definitely a must-see.
Christine CantyJuly 26, 2013Must get here early in the morning to see everything great day with the Family!
Mark Van OsdolSeptember 19, 2014Great museum, Love the history, I really liked what they use to host the mid evil fair here.
Moriah BenhamOctober 28, 2011wonderful museum with alot of famous, interesting artwork, right in SRQ!
SDecember 30, 2015You do not need to pay any money to walk the grounds, only to enter certain buildings.
T DMarch 20, 2011Grab a soda at machine in the lobby where you pay for admission. $1.50 there vs $2.50 at the Banyan Cafe.
Jeff McCuneMarch 23, 2012If you see Joseph's Coat bring a yoga mat and a stiff pillow. The benches are quite painful without neck support.
Marina SchrammMarch 17, 2010Excellent middle ages religious art and beautiful architecture on Sarasota Bay
