    Trevino 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.

    It'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

    This 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!

    Excellent 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.

    My beautiful wife thought it was a circus...wrong! One of the most beautiful museums and private art collections around. Do not miss it...

    Excellent place to go, the selection of art works is wonderful, the house, the rose garden, the view it is unforgettable. Highly recommended.

    There'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!

    Awesome 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!

    Been here 10+ times
    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.

    Beautiful, 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!

    Saw the Samurai show there in March. Great show. Great play ground for the kids. Food is expensive and not great, bring a picnic lunch.

    Everything is covered in dust! Except the new exhibits, which can't be photographed.. Major improvements needed in management.

    Be 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.

    If you see Joseph's Coat bring a yoga mat and a stiff pillow. The benches are quite painful without neck support.

    You do not need to pay any money to walk the grounds, only to enter certain buildings.
