Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Michigan: Ticket Info

AUBURN HILLS, MI — Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey is bringing Circus XTREME to The Palace of Auburn Hills this fall, and tickets are already on sale.

The Nov. 10-13 show has traditional circus acts and animals — minus the elephants retired to a sanctuary in Florida this spring — and never-before-seen spectacles, original fast-paced performances and hilarious moments. Animals include two Bengal tigers and two-humped camels ridden by brave Mongolian women.

The 2 ½-hour show features high-wire wizards, powerful strongmen, BMX trick riders, trampoline daredevils, inconceivable contortionists, a high-flying human cannonball, a bungee aerial skydiving display and an international assembly of more than 300 cast and crew members.

The party starts with an all-access pre-show an hour before each show. It’s free with a ticket purchase, and gives circus-goers a chance to meet the international cast of performers and get up close to the menagerie of animals. Kids can try on custom costumes and learn circus skills — like juggling — from the famous Ringling Bros. Clown Alley

Here’s the performance schedule:

• Thursday, Nov. 10: 7:30 p.m.
• Friday, Nov. 11: 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.
• Saturday, Nov. 12: 11:30 a.m., 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
