Every year its keeps getting better! If you have young children they will love it and there is plenty to do. Plenty of interaction with the "locals" and great food to sample. It is usually pretty hot and they have plenty of stations with water.
Scarborough Faire is still one of the best entertainment values around! We have been going for over 25 years--first as a married couple, later with a baby, toddler, young child, and now pre-teens. It is a beautiful outdoor venue, with fabulous entertainment, food, adventure, old-fashioned crafts & workmanship, & fun. I highly recommend it to adults & families. It can be a totally different experience for each and every group.
This place is definitely worth visiting. There is so much to see and do. Lots of shops, good food, entertainment. There is a glassblowing workshop, birds of prey show, petting zoo, rides that are human powered, archery, a parade, music, museum. I can go on and on. I think I have been to Scarborough Faire at least once or twice a year for the last 15 years. Never disappoints.
We completely immersed and enjoyed our visit to this fabulous Ren Fest! The park is much larger now, and so many amazing artisans and incredible crafts to partake! We loved the street parade, which casually strolled among us and gave us a chance to meet and greet with these incredible Renaissance folk. What an amazing variety of madrigal musicians, royalty, unique naives, gypsys, and crazy comedy between. We loved the jousting and the belly dancing, and everything in between. It's best to come early, and plan to stay the whole day, as there's much to see.
I have never been to a more magical place. I love visiting the Scarborough Faire weekend after weekend and can never tire of being there. I only know now after being able to visit over the season that the people, the atmosphere, and all of the performers are very much a part of creating this magical place. The smiles are genuine & the love that everyone has shows throughout the Faire. My family have come to love being here weekend after weekend. With so many shows, games, delicious food that makes you feel as if you have really taken a step back in time. There is plenty for all ages, whether traveling with friends or the entire family you will always be busy and never get bored here at the Scarborough Faire. Plan on 2 days if ever available because you just cannot squeeze one day into this place.
The cast is amazing and are great performers! We love coming here, the fair is so well kept and there's all sorts of magical happenings throughout the day! Great for all ages. You can tell the staff really loves this place.
Renaissance Festival full of fun and merriment. To enjoy it all in one day is possible, but two days would be better. The shows and actors are FABULOUS. The food is a little over priced, but that is expected at any type of entertainment venue. Plenty of parking and easy to locate off Hwy I35 in Waxahachie. Costumes are not required, but So much fun to come dressed to the hilt. Always a hoot to see everyone so happy and crazy.
Great Experience! A WONDERFUL way to spend a Spring Day!What fun, with something for everyone of every age.My advice is to seek out the unusual. There is so much more than just the jousting and the turkey legs.
This is one of my favorite experiences. Great comraderie,fun things to do, good food, good shopping. Management strives for authenticity which adds even more the the exprience of stepping back in time. This a great value as well as the tickets are very reasonable. Dressing up for this event is an added benefit but not a requirement. The activities available are varied and there are things for kids to do as well as special activities such as wine tastings for adults. Kids can be knighted by the King and Queen. Staff here is very friendly and a lot of fun. The same can be said for those loyal patrons that attend on a regular basis. This faire is a little more family friendly then others I have visited but that does not make it any less appealing to the adult visitors. Will always revisit this faire. Kudos to those responsible for it as they continue to strive every season to improve this fair.
So many enchanting things to see and do! The entertainment (both on stages and strolling performers) is wonderful. The costumes, of both the staff performers and the visiting guests are beautiful, just fascinating. The weather can be surprisingly hot, wear hats/sunscreen and bring water. A lovely spot to recover is The King’s Pub (Crown Meadow at the Crown Kitchens). Sample the lilting Pear Cider and wash down a plate of Bruschetta with one of the Pubs great ales while listening to harp music. Just lovely!
