There are a few events as a child that ever stand out in my mind… going to the circus, a baseball game and seeing the Harlem Globetrotters. For years now I have longed to take my oldest boys to see them, especially our second son who loves basketball.
So when I received an email offering me the opportunity to go see them I jumped at it! We are so excited to take the boys to see this great entertaining event in a nearby town.
This is their 84th season! I remember the show being funny, exciting, awe inspiring and just plain old fun, so I hope for the very same experience for my own children.
Want to know more about the Harlem Globetrotters and their tour? Well here’s some basic information, but be sure to visit their website to learn even more and to see if they are coming to a town near you.
Their 2010 U.S. “Magical Memories” tour began on December 26th and continues through May 2nd, and will makes its way to 216 cities—with the Globetrotters taking on their arch-rivals, the Washington Generals, at each stop.
They are offering a code that readers can use to get a $7 discount for each ticket purchased (Note: Not valid on VIP or courtside seats. Available online only. Valid until the day before the show.)

I would love to go again because my family and I went to see them a couple of years ago at the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim and the Globetrotters were hilarious , me and my youngest son were laughing so hard at their antics.

Yes they will be in my town in April, I would love to take the kids to see them, they are so funny and entertaining!

I want to take my children to a game (either in Austin or Dallas) so they can experience the same joy I did when I was their age and saw the Globetrotters for the first time. I am a big Kansas University Jayhawks fan and one of the best Jayhawks of all time – Wilt Chamberlin – was a Globetrotter before dominating the NBA. What an amazing history this team has. Did you know Larry Bird’s brother played for the Washington Generals? When I was a kid the Globetrotters were everywhere, even Scooby Doo cartoons. My kids need to learn about this great organization and have some fun in the process. Go Trotters!!

The closest place is Youngstown, OH. But that might make for a nice family weekend.

They were here, and I would have loved to have gone because my teen son is in basketball, loves it, and has never seen anything like The Globetrotters. I think he would have gotten a real kick out of the show.

I was fortune enough to see the Glovetrotters when I was a kid and had a blast. Would so love to share the fun with my boys, and they are playing in three cities in February that are less than a hour away.
