The kids loved the snow play area with sledding, although we should have thought to bring gloves (next year), but they didn't spend long enough in the "snow" for it to matter much. I wish we could have stayed out until Santa arrived on his sleigh boat and the doves lit up at 7:00, but it ran late for a Sunday. It was a lot of fun though and we'll be headed back next year -- with gloves, of course.

One of the better fruit related festivals I've gone to. The festival is huge, lots of vendors and…read moreold shoppes to see. They have activities for kids, competitions for all ages and programs such as cooking presentation and film screenings. The main highlight was going to a farm and picking fresh blueberries. Me and my friend planned a whole itinerary for the day and you really can spend a whole day at nacagdoches! I managed to try a few restaurants in the area as well as get some chipotle sauce and blueberry cobler and blueberry lemonade! It was a 2.5 hr drive from Houston! We got there exactly at 8am and got great parking at the church and people were already lined up for blueberry pancakes!! Also shuttle tickets to farm got taken fast!!! At 9am we got a time slot to farm at 12:15pm. I suggest you get shuttle ticket first thing getting there. By 11am or even 10am tickets will no longer be available!! Volunteers were plenty!! They had a lot of free ice cold water bottles until the end of the day which I thought was an amazing priority to keep festive goers hydrated!! The sweet shoppe was a very Cute and relaxing little stand in the bank!! Expect to overeat and if you get extra time I recommend driving to the mize garden!! It's a nice little hike, could easily spend about 40 minutes there! Take some bug spray though!

I have been coming here for years. I mean decades. If you, your partner, your family, your friends…read moreare looking for something cool to do that you don't get to do everyday. You should come to TRF. At the very least, this is the largest Renaissance festival in the US if not elsewhere as well. I highly suggest getting in early because the lines to get in throughout the day get longer. This place can get pretty packed, both at the gate and in the food and drink lines. They have a ginormous parking lot, it's dirt and grass. And it can bottleneck quite a bit at the entry point. Once you're in, they have hundreds of stalls of food, merchant selling different things, people putting on different types of shows, be it skill, craft, or comedy/drama. There's plenty of activities. The park itself is sectioned off into different themed areas, both the food and activities follow suit. They have tons of shows around the different areas in addition to the Central stage where you can see the king, jousting, sword fighting and the whole lot. Highly suggest going to the restroom before you leave, because you will likely be stuck in some traffic on the way out and you don't want to hold it. Trust me. In the last couple years I've taken to camping on their campgrounds. This requires an extra pass for camping, in addition to your entry. If you do things in groups it costs a lot less with a discount. They have porta potties throughout the campgrounds, and also a brick and mortar shower and restroom at the front of the campgrounds. The campgrounds are separated into two areas, the family the zone, which is closer to the main gate, and the non-family zone which is a mixed bag depending on what weekend you go closer to the festival area. This place gets pretty rowdy, and they are up late. If you intend to camp, this is the social area where a lot of things go. If you want a more relaxed, in civil area, stick to the family zone ( I don't). Highly recommend arriving early on the Friday before you're going in, as the camping area is first come first serve. We go in a pretty big group so we try to stake out enough space for all of our people. It's quite an experience, we really enjoy all of the people working there in character. They do a great job, and make it a great experience! Whether you're there with the family out for drinking or interested in shows and merchandise, there's something for everybody here. And the amount of different kinds of food is crazy.

As a group familiar with the SoCal Ren Faire (go every year), we were very pleasantly surprised…read more The acreage is expansive, the shops are built into structures making it feel more realistic (as well as provides AC), the amount of shows is insane, the options for food and drink are fantastic, and the shops are numerous. We spent Saturday and Sunday there and don't think we saw even half of everything. We paid the extra for the Kings Feast and agreed we'd do it again in a heartbeat. It was an all you can eat and drink lunch with multiple courses and a hilarious musical show that emphasized including the audience. We went to several shows, comedy, musical, jousting, and fire show and enjoyed all of them, ESPECIALLY the fire show. Get there EARLY though as it filled up fast, even a half hour before the show. Prices, for us, we're about the same or slightly cheaper than SoCal so we weren't shocked at any price tags. I can imagine prices would likely be a little bit of a shocker for locals though. The only thing we didn't see much of a selection for was more ornate leather work. A friend was looking for carved or stamped bracers and couldn't find any. There were bracers, just very simple. Once we noticed that, we saw that was the case for just about all leather work.

My complaint, food choices. At least for the first day. Not sure if more will come on as the week progresses.

All in all, awesome experience!

We went out to wolf pen creek on Friday, the opening night about two hours after it started. A major disappointment. There were about five food trucks set up that resembled a county fair (deep fried oreos, deep fried twinkles, deep fried candy bars, etc.) and that was it for food. No booths or displays were set up yet, they must have been waiting for Saturday. The only thing going on was a "salsa" dance lesson. If you check it out, don't waste your time on going the first night.
