I had wondered what your Renaissance Faire was like – thanks for the tips on how to make it work well with young kids! We did let the kids choose one thing (they all picked pony rides) and brought snacks, and both of those helped a lot!

There are some risque outfits, and there can be a lot of them, for our one, it will depend on the weekend we go because they have themed weekends. So, we don’t go on Barbarian Invasion or the Fairy weekend.

As to the expensive stuff. We tell each kid they get to choose one ride or thing. Then we go to a lot of the shows. Ours has a good birds of prey show that all the kids enjoy and we do too. There’s several good juggling or other shows. You do have to be careful with the shows because you can get into the bawdy humor, but it will really depend on what shows you choose.

We also bring lots of snacks in with us, granola bars and the like.

You know it is interesting about your kids not wanting to watch the jousting. My son talks about liking “war” stuff but he has such a gentle personality. I think he is all talk ; )
