Carson & Barnes Circus The Carson & Barnes Circus is coming to Highlands Ranch! When Carson & Barnes sets up the big circus tent and unloads the animals May 18, it is circus history and magic recreated before your eyes. Everyone is invited at no charge to watch as the caravan begins arriving about an hour after dawn and continues to file in most of the morning. Some 25 species of exotic and domestic animals, featuring a large traveling zoo, are unloaded, fed and watered as soon as their huge transports pull onto the grounds. After hundreds of stakes, poles and several miles of cables and ropes are laid out and prepared, the crew and trained elephants push, pull and lift the almost 300-foot Big Top 40 feet into the air. It’s a sight to see! Come join us for the “world’s biggest big top show” on Friday, May 18 at 4:30 p.m. or 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, May 19 at 1:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m., or 7:30 p.m.; or Sunday, May 20 at 1:30 p.m. or 4:30 p.m. Advance general admission discount tickets may be purchased for $14 for adults and $6 for children ages 2-11 (under 2 are complimentary) at any HRCA recreation center.
