John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art

Trevino Cafe is a perfect stop for a relaxed lunch with a full bar . Food ranges from light and well prepared salads to burgers , panini and catch of the day.

It's only fitting that John Ringling, one of the five brothers who owned and operated "The Greatest Show on Earth," also had perhaps the greatest art collection on the planet. Read more

This museum/amazing expansive waterfront property has great events regularly. It serves as a great cultural and family-fun destination for tourists and locals alike! Fit this in to your weekend plans!

Excellent museum . Purchase your tickets online ahead of time in order to save some time waiting in line . Special exhibits are undated several times a year. Admission also includes the circus museum .

My beautiful wife thought it was a circus ...wrong! One of the most beautiful museums and private art collections around. Do not miss it...

One of the 5 Ringling brothers, John Ringling, housed his art collections in his extravagant Sarasota mansion—and burgeoning museum grounds. Read more

Excellent place to go, the selection of art works is wonderful, the house, the rose garden , the view it is unforgettable. Highly recommended.

There's a fine art gallery , beautiful grounds, cafe , gift shop and mansion tours in addition to the circus museum . With so much to do, plan on spending the day!

Awesome place, from the estate to the museums (and miniature circus ). Beautiful rose garden and enormous banyan trees all throughout the property. Great deal for students: $5!

Definitely give yourself time to explore so you’re not rushed at the end… lots to look at!

If you are a student and/or have a student ID on hand, tickets are 5 dollars. You can get in for free if you say you are doing research. Same with the theatre .

Beautiful, inspiring place. The docents, sweet and helpful. Unfortunately the several paid staff we interacted with were curt and officious. There's no excuse for bad customer relations!

Saw the Samurai show there in March. Great show. Great play ground for the kids. Food is expensive and not great, bring a picnic lunch .

one of the best museum in FL ..thanks to his will Mondays are free but it is worth entrance fee as well

Experience some of the world's finest art , showcased in a beautiful manner. The gallery is open on Mondays for free - now that's art .

One of our favorite places to visit when we are in Sarasota, it truly is a gem !

The Circus Museum was good. Plenty to spent nearly all day. It is worth every penny.

Great museum , Love the history, I really liked what they use to host the mid evil fair here.

A great museum and it's free to everyone every Monday. Don't miss this place !

The art museum is the best + the patio at the mansion + the TREES next to the rose garden ! <-- check it out!

Friendly staff . Beautiful Architecture .

Everything is covered in dust! Except the new exhibits , which can't be photographed .. Major improvements needed in management.

Visiting the grounds don't require a ticket and is definitely a must-see.

Free admission on Mondays!

Be prepared with money in the wallet. Ringling House Ca' d' Za is 25 for first floor, 5 more for second and 20 more for third floor...and they don't tell you thus when you buy initial ticket.

American Moderns 1910-1960 ...A must see exhibit !

Check out the tour of the private areas of the Ca' d'Zan mansion. Well worth the additional cost!!!!

The cafe was phenomenal. Great truffle fries .

Some very beautiful paintings and the museum is beautiful

The rose garden is a great place to take a date.

Surprisingly vast collection of great art .

Must get here early in the morning to see everything great day with the Family!

It's an amazing place, and there's an amazing barista up in the cafe :)

If you see Joseph's Coat bring a yoga mat and a stiff pillow . The benches are quite painful without neck support.
