Fun for Kids & Families

The Texas Renaissance Festival is a magical place for family fun and entertainment. Try your skills at the archery, axe throwing or Jacob's ladder. Take a ride on the swings in the Enchanted Forest or take a spin on the DaVinci Flying Machines. After you've taken in the Fire Whip Show or the Great Rondini, get yourself a turkey leg and a lemonade while you walk around and browse the shoppes.


Lots of neat shops, awesome performances, and good food/drinks. I've been to a few renaissance festivals and I would say this was one of my favorites for sure.

Groups

Experience an exciting group outing like no other. Groups will enjoy strolling the cobblestone paths of our authentic 55-acre 16th century village, visiting more than 400 shoppes featuring unique arts and crafts, foods from many cultures, games of skill, and a variety of human-powered rides. In addition, hundreds of costumed characters are there to entertain your party with over 200 performances daily. Each of our eight themed weekends brings a new adventure for your group, offering unique programs, activities, and more!

This was the first event in nearly six years where I did not have to raise one finger to help. From the time we walked into the area Maw and Pa greeted us with the delicious food and hospitality. Out of the blue, the cast of characters from Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan descended into our area to liven our group up which we felt was over the top and much appreciated by everyone.
