The Museum's website says it best: "Walk the wire. Squeeze into a clown car. Snap photos with a ferocious (faux) tiger. Thrill to it all: the parade wagons, the posters, the glittering costumes, and the cannon that shot daring performers through the air. Wonder at the must-be-seen-to-be-believed 44,000-piece Howard Bros. Circus Model and the Greatest Show on Earth Mural celebrating the entertainment that has delighted packed houses in great cities and small towns across America for generations. Step right this way." Fun and laid back, great way to spend the day and end with a picnic on the sea wall.

A local gem, not overly crowded, Jungle Gardens houses an open sanctuary for beautiful parrots. Catch a reptile show, or attend the flamingo feeding where you can walk and hang out with the flamingos, no cage. This is also a great spot to get some cool pictures with the birds while they sit out in their own little huts. They also take care of injured and sick birds. Really cool place.
