    This place is what you make of it and if you're out to have a good time, you can't go wrong key tip…read moreleave early so you can get parking and the earlier new season you go the less lines you'll have Sundays are easier than Saturdays and the vendors really get into character and love it A lot of person made goodies. Lots of delicious food. Purchase your tickets early a favor of mine is always the broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl the fresh roasted nuts and I love going into the costume shops to look and dream. The jewelry can be beautiful. Jousting is fun. The tiny big girl show which we missed this year is always a blast. My family looks forward to it. We are exhausted from walking today, but we wouldn't miss it.

    This was my third time visiting the ren faire and while it was as fun as ever (for the most part),…read moreI was disappointed at how little has changed in three years. The stores all have the same wares (nothing noticeably new) and the offerings are almost entirely the same. Most disappointing, we went on Pirate Weekend, hoping to spice things up from last time, but nothing had changed aside from an encouragement to wear Pirate outfits. I was disappointed that even the costume actors weren't acting like pirates, instead sticking to the usual Robin Hood-era characters. I do love this Faire and it's the closest Ren Faire to me, but I think next year we'll try one in Jersey or Pennsylvania, giving this one time to feel fresh again.

    I loved the Warwick applefest !! I'm From NYC so I've been…read moreto a lot of street fairs and this was one of the best because of the setting upstate was so nice how the whole little town was set up for the festival with tons of different kinds of food and tents selling things as well. I wasn't sure if the festival was dog friendly but we brought our dog anyway and ended up finding that there were so many dogs there and even booths set up with treats, bandanas, and even a greyhound rescue group all set up in the festival ! We got our little guy a a doggie cupcake and had an amazing time ourselves eating all things apple themed and beyond.

    Ok, I'm putting this somewhere in the middle. I understand the reviewers who are frustrated with…read morethe crowds. 2014 was packed! There were some booths that I could barely get to or I just couldn't get to at all, some 3 or 4 ppl deep. For this reason, it drops the enjoyment level dramatically. I waited in a long line for cider doughnuts (well worth the wait), but they kept running out of batter and simply could not keep up with the demand. I did make a few purchases and get to see some booths, but I didn't stay long.The crowding does wear on you. For me, parking wasn't so bad as I followed a few local folks into the neighborhoods and just parked in front of people's houses and walked in. They probably hate that, but it's just one day. Ultimately, they have explained why they won't extend the days/hours and you just need to be prepared that this is going to be a packed event. If you do make the trek, go early, and I mean be the first people there (you'll get doughnuts faster! lol). Park over in a neighborhood and walk in, then it will be EASY to get back out when you are ready to go. Forget the lots. Or, you can just take in the local sites like Ochs Orchard for apple picking, GWL Garden center has fresh cider doughnuts and I'm sure other locals can add venues to that list that you can go in lieu of the crowds. I would suggest Sugarloaf, I bet it will be nice and calm there, and you can get your shopping experience w/o all the crowding. Anyway, just my two cents, but I hope this helps someone.

    Attended this event last year and almost had nightmares for the next week... BEST horror venue I've…read moreever been to. Blows the Forest of Fear in Sterling Forest, and the Horror event at Museum in Monroe NY away by miles! It's on 52 aches with SEVERAL completely Terrifying and Horrifying trails. They have a hunted barn that will have you crap a brick, a HUGE corn maze that you'll be running for your life through, an Alien close encounter... again completely terrifying, an actual headless horsemen on one of the biggest horses I've ever seen... Mr. Ed his is NOT! If you should still be alive at that point, there is the Blair Witch forest... anyone who completes this trail will NEVER go camping again without a gallon of Holy water and a tank! This place is NOT for the weak of heart.

    Beautiful day for a Sunflower festival! Free parking & free admission. It was very packed but the…read moreworkers kept everything organized with the parking. You had to purchase a ticket for $10 if you wanted to walk & pick your own Sunflowers. There is an indoor bar/barn. There were food trucks & vendors you could make purchases from. As well as a dj & karaoke. A live band was due to also perform, but I left when it had started to rain. The strawberry lemonade from one of the food trucks was great for a hot afternoon. The apple cider donuts I purchased (6 donuts), but I received about 8 different sizes & a few were not fully cooked through. I didn't find this out until I had already left. This was a great event that I am looking forward to again next year!

The Cranberry Orange Scone is PERFECTLY made - incredible flavor and not AT ALL dry. The Garden Omelette is beautifully composed and chock-full of the freshest veggies (and cheese), with the side salad as great accompaniment to a wonderful meal. We look forward to their brunch in the winter (just wish y'all could continue it throughout the year!)!!

The…read morefarm features large lots with ample parking and options to visit the market, where you can purchase ciders, donuts, and more. There's also apple picking, a beer garden with two food cart options (Jamaican/ crêpes), and a section with farm animals like goats and chickens. As you head up there are more food options and the full cidery where you can also buy cider we opted for the $24 cider flight and some individual ciders (the peach fuzz was our favorite) there are also three food trucks (hot dogs, sandwiches( chicken tenders fries), nachos and from the cider areas you can order pizza ($12-16) pretzel, etc. Lots of seating options some people bring their blankets and sit by the grass, by this area there's a live music section some face painting for children, and a petting zoo. Overall definitely worth checking out! It's right across the Shoprite plaza in Warwick NY.
