Bay Area Renaissance Festival

"So much h fun! We will be coming back next year. We did an adults weekend and a kids weekend and we all had a blast! Kids received trinkets from woodland & sea creatures and everyone was happy to bring a smile to their face. Super family friendly and have Adult only days as well."

"It would be 5 stars if I had never been to a different Ren fair. But the location needs money put into it to put it up to the minimum standard. The roads to get to this place will damage your car. The parking is not too organized, the pathways throughout the fair have not been treated for human travel, which means everything and I mean everything will have black dust caked on because of everyone kicking up dust everywhere. You will also be coughing up said dust for a couple of days. They are still using porter potties in 2023. A lot of the toilets were not even on level ground. A lot were slanted or crooked. I find that most of the ailments of this fair is with the management and not the staff. The staff is amazing and do great shows. Very nice people with a talent of just being cool. I am the last of my friends that still come to the fair. It saddens me. But I am still holding out that the management group of this place does the right thing and invest in the infrastructure of the property and roads."

"Google maps took me on a long laborious, time consuming and winding route. Avoid their directions. I used my instinct on the way back for a much more direct and shorter route. Once I got there I had a ball. There is so much to see, eat and do. While it's a long ride, there is so much more space for the shows, vendors and performers. They do not dissapoint. All the people at the festival are very nice and accomodating. I had a great time and hope to take my granddaughter soon."

"Our first time, my son had a blast. Be prepared to spend money, a normal cup of honey mead was $18! Got my son some elf ears for $85. Got my son chicken strips and fries, they came out so soggy and room temp. At least the chicken tasted good. The turkey legs looked good and my friends said it was amazing. But there is a lot to do and see and it wasn't overly crowded. The worst part was the last mile to get there. You have to drive on a dirt road that has the bumps like on a highway to wake you up if you drift off, but way bigger! Everyone had to go like 10mph because it was shaking your car like crazy!"

"So it was my first time going and initially I thought it was going to be boring but once I got there I was like WOOOHH!!! This is super cool I had so much fun I love the fact that they had so many different vendors and so many different activities that you can literally spend all day there unfortunately I only went for two hours and I definitely will be going back next year before at least the whole day or half the day! I loved how friendly all the vendors were and the shows that were performed were spectacular! I do wish that there was more food options as well but I’m just really glad they had beers everywhere and a good amount of variety as well from bar to bar vendors. I definitely want to be dressing up for next year and it was such a blast. I wish that there were more bathrooms but nonetheless it was a great event. What I appreciated mostly was that the fact that this was such a different event that for a second I felt like I was outside of Tampa and it was a great family friendly event where even the adults got to enjoy as much as the kids."
