    Not very friendly to wheelchair users

    It’s ridiculous getting around using a wheelchair. The ground isn’t flat! Tripping hazards everywhere you step. There are some buildings that have ramps (definitely don’t meet ADA standards) they are too steep to get up without assistance and once you get into them they’re so...More

    Ridiculous waste of money and time, overpriced trinket store for Chinese junk

    Family Tradition Continues

    Enjoyment depends on your frame of mind

    I've been to other Ren Faires, and this one is much more commercial than others. Basically, you walk around and spend money. As other reviewers have noted, it is expensive and food is overpriced - $5 for a soft drink. They don't take credit cards,...More

    I agree with the above comments. Not much auxiliary seating. Benches at the stages fill quickly. I had to stand to see several of the performances. Might be a good idea to bring a blanket and find a seat on the ground.
