That train car is incredible. That's the way to travel. 😀

[@TampaJay]

For sure, it must have been awesome

[@hughring]

Cool video! My families mansion! I'm a Ringling.

[@TampaJay]

Hello there it’s an honor to have you

[@dmax64]

Thank you

[@laurels7892]

I loved this video, especially that train car! Thanks so much!

Thank you Laurel

[@margaretjaeger2064]

I remember at least one time having a Huge Calliope come thru our town ...with a circus parade....that calliope was a big thrill...I’d waited many years to hear it and it was so Loud, it vibrated the body..! Maybe had one when younger but tho we had an era of time when we had a circus in town, they didn’t all have a Calliope. I remember going to see the animals come off a train..the big ole elephants lumbering off very controlled. They were a pure wonder.

[@trish5556]

I went there with a group from school when I lived in Tampa in 1970. We went to a play at the Aslo theater and had to critique it later for class. I took a few pictures, such as of my friend Debbie by the statue of David, me sliding down the banister at the theater, and our class eating a picnic lunch near the parking lot. All that is left is the picture of us all eating lunch. However, the memories are what is important. In 1975 I went back there on a trip with my husband. So much has changed now, better displays and buildings kept up. Thanks so much for sharing a great Florida treasure!

[@davidlewis3814]

Absolutely one of my favorite places on earth , we go to Siesta Key every year never get tired of it .

[@vincentappleby9521]

Awesome. Loved it. Thanks for a great tour Jay. 🙂👍

[@jaynebennett8398]

Outstanding presentation as always. We always feel as if we were right there in person! Thank you for such great work and awesome selections of places to visit!

[@mustangcindy1303]

Ca’ d’ Zan is a beautiful mansion. Glad to see the mansion has reopened. I was waiting for it to reopen to re-up my annual pass. Been an annual pass holder for three years now. I can’t get enough of that place. Beautiful place for photographers. Normally they have guided tours of that house. Hopefully that will start back up soon too. You have to return to the mansion during Christmas. They decorate the place really pretty.

[@tomry831]

Love this place. I def want to get there. Thanks jay!

[@TampaJay]

Thanks Tom

[@FloridaandBeyond]

Ringling muesum is on our list to check out! It looks very interesting! Thanks for the info!

[@thomasfoley8287]

Thanks for the memories, Jaysun! I haven't been here since 1983! You made me want to go back...and maybe stop at the Ellenton Outlet Mall on the way back because #shopping

[@j_l_b6599]

Thanks Jay always wanted to see this!!

[@TampaJay]

Thank you

[@zakkmon123]

👍🏻

[@voyager0156]

Thank you! I have been wanting to visit Ca'd'Zan for many years after reading Tony Abbott's The Postcard! The circus museum is intriguing as well!

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Thanks for showing some more of the Roadside Attractions Jay. The Ringling Brothers museum was interesting.

[@TampaJay]

Thanks buddy this is one of my new favorite places

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

Awesome model circus! Train car ! banyan trees are dope. House also v cool! 👍🔥💥Great vid man!

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Well Jay that’s a surprise, I was just there the 16th! My father in law lives literally 2 blocks away and was the director of merchandising for Ringling in the 90’s. It’s amazing isn’t it? So much to see! Th art museum is outrageous, Ringling had so much money it will blow your mind.

[@franceenshepherd2204]

The tree must have flooded roots, water coming inland. Thank again. ❤⚘

[@TampaJay]

Thank you

[@videogamin3348]

Fun fact my dad actually worked on the sunshine state bridge about a year ago

[@TampaJay]

That’s awesome

[@Bob-jg3vq]

Thanks for taking us to the Ringling Brothers Museum and Mansion. Excellent vlog. Hope it helps you that I played all the commercials.

[@dennisud]

I remember this 40+ years ago when Circus World was nearby. I actually remember these huge tents as a Tween! Fantastic place! I'll be visiting this again!

[@thomasfoley8287]

is "tween" still a word we use? LOL

[@marypettyfer4640]

Peewee Herman was from there 😆

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Scott Michaels did a video recently where PeeWee was arrested from indecent exposure at the X rated movie theatre that’s actually a Mello Mushroom restaurant now .

[@joangravel2436]

Thanks that place was awesome I enjoyed watching

[@karenskeen4700]

Another great video!! The view of the bay on the backside of the house is gorgeous. Thanks Jay for taking us along!

[@squinkque]

Wow, what an amazing place and somewhere I would definitely like to visit. All that wealth that was generated because of this circus and other than this mansion and museum all that remains of it is gone. The Ringling family sold the circus in 1967 and now it is no longer, going out of business in 2017. What a shame.

[@Luv2tickt]

I was there last in 2015, they were doing some work on the second floor but we still could get the tour. Amazing views from the balcony over the grand room as you can imagine. Perhaps they've opened it and if you get the opportunity, it would be a decent place to take Cris the Girl! I dig yet another Wisconsin connection, as the Ringling Bro's Circus was founded in Baraboo, Wisconsin. They have the "Circus World Museum" which is also a cool place to visit...actually there's a nearby winery and Devils Lake State Park that's what really makes the trip worth it! Pee Wee used to hang out at another theater on South Trial. They ripped that down and there was a Kenny Rogers' Roasters for quite a few years. It's now an artsy pizza place.

[@nicolasious]

Yayayayayay favorite new video!!! I have been dying to make the ride from Tampa to here!!!!! Looks soooo awesome

[@TampaJay]

Thank you

[@MikeRuh01]

Good stuff Jaybles.

[@marypettyfer4640]

Thankyou I really enjoyed this video you fit so much in. Definitely giving it one of these 👍❤🙏

[@vegasstoker9647]

That's awesome. In Wisconsin they have a great display of Barnum Bailey Circus stuff. They even put on shows.

[@chrisnorthridge4953]

Thank you for refreshing my memories, was there in 1989

[@m.k.5608]

I have never been here and live in tampa...wow..thanks for sharing.

[@NoBSEateries]

What a neat place. Definitely want to check it out one day! -S

[@DisAmy33]

This is one of my MOST favorite places, I have been 3x and can’t wait to go back again! I really hope you’re going to do the art museum and the grounds, I’m sure you are, there is so much to see and it is all breathtakingly beautiful! 😍Their house is stunning, the views are amazing, I’m not crazy about the actual Ciircus museum part )but that Train is cool!), howver - the art museum is where it’s at! 👏❤️🎨🖼🖌🎪 And yes, Asolo Rep is an awesome place to see a production - it’s gorgeous too! See the original theatre inside welcome center where you get museum tickets!

[@billyyandle1947]

Cool video! We will check this out next time we come back to Tampa!

[@TrevorCollin_]

Yet another great video

[@delontereid7584]

Jay I had no idea this place even existed. Their living quarters really look like the Palace of Versailles on a small scale.

[@douiejordan7990]

Wow I seen your chann and l say Florida attractions an I'm home sick so the first video I see is this one lol. Talk about seeing my home FLA. But your at ringling. 4 blocks from my old home on Bayshore Rd. I see they have added some attractions there. They used to have a big Mid-evil Fair every year that was awesome. Next time your there go dpwn bayshore on the left the first bend is a plantation looking house. You'll see onebof the biggest baynon trees my driveway voes through the middle of it or it did 30byears ago. Love thr way you look at everything.

[@markdraskovics1962]

[@redmist78]

I LOVE Sarasota. Went last in 2019 and it was after the hurricanes. Beaches were covered it the red algae and it was very hot and stinky even in October. Hit up Marie Selby too, its a beautiful conservatory and right on the water.

[@wiggitywak2050]

Great vlog Jay!

[@TampaJay]

Thank you!

[@elyseraval8273]

That's one of our favorite places. We went to the restaurant there a few years ago. Delicious. The whole property is amazing. It was also in the movie. Money Pit at the end...(Haven't seen entire video yet in case you mentioned it,:) we even got a special tour inside the train car during an event. :)

[@TampaJay]

I was just talking about that movie yesterday, I had not put that together. That is so cool. I really enjoyed my time here, and I will be going back, wasn’t able to visit the art museum… I wanted to savor that experience

[@elyseraval8273]

@@TampaJay its the very end when you see the couple trying to sell another money pit to unsuspecting people. . Im sure you can search it. The other house in the movie is on Long Island if I recall correctly, close to where I grew up. Definitely need to go back to see the rest. They also filmed great expectations at the house.(Gwyneth Paltrow version). We happened to visit when it was happening and the house was made to look horrible. ..

[@trish5556]

@@TampaJay The art museum can take you a day alone!

[@bellalugosi5853]

Visited there many years ago

[@noellewilliams6886]

Love this place, I miss the circus. I think it's sad that our generation was the last to witness a true circus. They will never know the mean of "that place was a three ring circus" I do understand though about treating the animals humane but the history is great. Also a lot of ghost stories about circus train crashes in Illinois.

[@dantastic3658]

Those animals had the best care and health care that you could ask for. The one's that hated the circus never seen behind the scenes they just watched a fake documentary or listened to lies online. Ringling bros was awesome.

[@CristheGirl]

Ohhh this is where the little clown car vid came from LOL!! I love you so much

[@TampaJay]

We have to go here! I save the art museum for next time! Yep, there was a couple walking through the museum and asked if I needed help filming the clown car.

[@CristheGirl]

@@TampaJay yeah we need to go here together, I’d love to see it! Also, the ending to this❤️ my heart

Well done tight rope 👏👏👏Clown car 🎪great Tampa 👍you made that look so easy, you look tall how the dickens did you manage that kudos to you brilliant 👌💯👏👏👏👏👏

Aye Jay, how long did it take you to go through the house and the circus museum ?

I see there’s more in Florida then Indiana

[@celtics20078]

That was good when you show the old record player it is call the phonograph it was before the record player my dad used have one I think your grandfather used have to and you should mention in your part two of you circus vlog the phonograph from part one and you should mention two or three movie with circus in coarse big top pee wee and the greatest showman star Hugh jackman the guy in wolverines from X men in your part two
