Acts are amazing and the actors are excellent. Don't miss the mud show and the falconry. Food sucks..sassafras for a buck is good..need a designated smokers area tho. People smoking everywhere Ugh

Timothy Spangler

The Pub Crawl is lots of fun (and lots to drink!!)! Be sure to try some mead ; it is the 16th century, after all.

Lisa DelVescovo

Must see...Sirena's show....those ladies are awesome. And go hungry...there are so many interesting foods to try. Portions are large and will feed at least 2 or 3 people!

Ted M

The jousting weapons & armor=cool. Mostly a gouge-fest. The food is weak & cheap plastic foreign merch is overpriced. There are a few true crafting folks making really nice stuff. Kudos to them!

Brandon Frale

If you see a man with a giant mushroom cart talking about fairies, talk to him and you'll get a fun magic show

Jennifer Stinnett

yeah ... gotta go see vegetable justice by the jousting arena . Throwing tomatoes on a hot day at a funny insulter is worth every penny of $5!

Andrew White

Amazing shows, fun entertainers, good food and tons of shops. My favorite ren fair

Amanda

The mud show , the moonie show , Adam crack are the best shows here. Come at 6 and get 2 for 1 Turkey legs

Amanda Goza

Tempura is SO good! When u are ready for dessert you can grab a crepe from the same building! Yum!

Stephanie Richter

Huzzah! Be sure to watch Barely Balanced and get a lemon ice if it's hot

Laura Felker

Vegetable Justice is by far one of my favorites here! Grab a beer and enjoy! It's near the jousting arena on the left hand side.

Matt L

I had a lot of fun. They did a great job of making the place look like an old Renaissance period town . Some of the "actors" were jerks though, but I guess that's their job...

Cherri Pierangeli Kasdorf

Fun experience! Pricey but worth it once a year!

Adam Overman

The shows here are all great but the best if the best is barely balanced

Mikayla Matz

Go to the bakery and grab a fresh and warm chocolate chip cookie !

Jack Holmes

It's unbelievably busy--if you are anxious in crowds, I'd recommend against visiting.

Jennifer Boberg

The shopping, the food, the people watching ! Love it!

Nikki Reichert

Play RenQuest! Not only do you get 5+ days of fun, mystery, and being a hero, you'll make some great friends. Come help defeat our Chaos Rising.
