Achievements
The Greatest Show On Earth® is the longest-
running hit show (134 years) in the history of show business and the only continuous entertainment phenomenon to span three consecutive centuries. It preceded iconic American institutions such as professional baseball (by one year), the Kentucky Derby (by five years), and Coca-Cola (by 17 years).
Outside the circus rings, Ringling Bros. is a recognized leader in Asian elephant conservation. The 200-acre Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Center for Elephant Conservation, in central Florida, houses the largest, most diverse gene pool of Asian elephants outside of Southeast Asia. Since 1992, 16 elephants have been born under the care of Ringling Bros., and current “expectations” promise more jumbo bundles of joy in the coming months.
