Same old Ren Fest. All the same for the most part but cannot get over the price of food. There are no words. 18 for a turkey leg? And on the website, they claim there's enough meat on the leg to feed 3 people? I can't stop anyone from going. But I'm completely done with this place. Huge Gouge

The festival in itself is a lot of fun, costumes are great, there are a lot of shows and entertainment. What was not amusing was the elaborate animal abuse. Horses, ponies, elephants and llamas. There is no ethical way to get an elephant to accept a human on its back. It was depressing. The festival does not need animals for entertainment, there's plenty to see as is.

This was our family’s first trip to the Texas Renaissance Festival. This event is huge. They offer on ground camping and if you have enough people you can get a clan campground just for your clan. I recommend valet parking for the festival if not staying there. Nearly everyone was dressed in costumes. There is so much to do, eat and drink it would be hard to list in one review. There are different areas that are portrayed as different countries of the world with unique tastes and experiences. I recommend trying your hand at archery. The arena has different events going on throughout the day. It would not be unusual to see patrons walking around with bottles of beer, mead or wine. Lots of fun rides and games for kids and adults alike. The event has lots of trees, places to sit, and bathrooms. Plenty of shopping for unusual wares. Performances are happening all over the festival. Make sure to come if you want a unique experience.

Tickets purchased in advance are date restricted therefore we took the 3 hr drive to go to an outdoor event in rain and cold weather. Even though the weather was unfavorable the shows were good & everyone stayed in character, including the visitors who dressed in period. In order to get a map you had to purchase a $5 program which really didn't help us much, except to sit on to keep a dry seat. Turned out we got more assistance from staff. THey directed us to shows and pubs/taverns that had performances. If you go when raining or had been raining there is a lot of mud and standing water. Also additional $$ for rides, and other activities. The food and drinks are expensive but that's a known for these festivities....$11 funnel cakes, $11 for 8oz mead, $12 sausage on a stick for a few examples. Another good thing because of the rain is that there were less people to get around and no waiting lines for food, drinks and restrooms and we were able to find seats in the taverns and shows. We plan on coming back next year but won't buy tickets too far in advance.

Great entertainment, COLD BEER, Delicious food, Very Friendly Staff!
We live in CO and have attended the Ren Faire here for many years, so we decided to try out TX this year. It's an amazing Faire! There are hundreds of shops most with high quality handmade merchandise. The ground themselves are large which makes the crowd manageable and they're really well maintained. They even have staff in the bathrooms to keep the line moving and get people in and out efficiently - what a great idea! We all loved the villages and the theming. The shows vary in quality, but are generally very good and there are tons of them to see. For me the food always steals the show at Ren Faires and TX is no exception - the areas are themed with food to match - so much variety and so much fun. We spent most of 2 days walking around -bought a ton of unique gifts, ate 10 different things, and had some really tasty mulled wine. It was worth the trip to this large and well run Faire.

First thing, this is not a restaurant. It is a seasonal Renaissance Festival based on European Medieval time period featuring shops, rides, exhibitions and performances. There is a general admission charge and there are several more inclusive shows and activities if wanted for additional charges. One such option, but by no means the only one, that my group took part in was Odin's Table. A wine tasting and story telling activity put on by Haak Winery. The grounds encompasses 55 acres with hundreds of specialty shops and numerous stages and a huge arena where there is jousting and such. All performers and festival associates are in full period costumes and character all the way from the Royalty to lowly street beggars. As an amusing and enjoyable attraction on its own is that more than half of the attendees don their own personal costumes ranging from science fiction, comics and everything else. Parking is free. There is countless options for food and beverages including alcohol. Some might find the food prices somewhat expensive but the quality and selection is quite high. There is always something going on on the stages at different times so you can catch a show later on if it is too crowded. The grounds are extensive and it is difficult to see everything in one day. It is worth the wait till sunset to see a fire show at the arena which culminates with a fantastic fireworks grand finale. Runs on weekends from October and November.

Terrible! Nothing to do. Just a bunch of overpriced shops! The food was not only overpriced, but also awful. Where is the fun?! We saw some shows too but they were nothing special. All the “rides” and shows were things done elsewhere with better quality. Don’t bother. There were no jugglers, no entertainers interacting with guests.
Aye, twas a splendid time

Fun show! Nice mix of fun, music and women.
A good time was had by all, enjoyed the shows.
