The renaissance festival is a great experience, with a lot to offer for kids and adults. Food and drinks are delicious and only slightly pricey at $5 a drink and $9 for a Turkey leg. So much to see and do you can't fit it all into a single day!
Order of Wrath live steel fighting was the best event, in my opinion. Where many of the other shows feel scripted, these warriors clash in a live, gladiator style arena that I felt was the most realistic and exciting show of the day! The joust was worth checking out as well, and interacting with the friendly characters throughout the festival really makes the experience unique.
