The festival is worth it. Spend all day as a family. What you have to do is buy the album and thoroughly investigate all the activities. They also indicate the variety of foods and beverages they sell. There is food of various types, Mexican, German, etc. the parking lot is large. Very tasty meals, very refreshing drinks. The super cheerful people who serve. A very pleasant environment to share with family, play and laugh.
Had an absolutely wonderful time here!!
Cant wait for next year!!!
Great Places. Lots of fun. Be back again every year
We love this place! We get to be kids and dress up like Christmas.
Been coming here since 2004! Every time is fun and unique! Bring your parents, children, a date or by yourself there's something for everyone!
It was great and food was was good especially the steak on a stick.
Where do you even start. We camped at festival. More things to do and great shows and food, great facilities and on and on. More than you can possibly take in for 2 days. Can't wait till next year
Been going every fall as a family tradition for 10 yrs plus. Love it...
Amazing, magical place! I can't say enough good things!
This place never ceases to amaze. There is always great food, great shows, and great products. The turkey legs, chocolate dipped cheesecake, and funnel cake are all amazing. The bars have great beer selection and they even serve authentic mead. The shows are awesome too from the Birds of Prey to the Dead Bob show, they're all great. The shops all sell generally the same products but they're good quality and you might find variations on certain things. The attractions are great as well. The rock wall is awesome and so is the hedge maze. There's something for everyone here. Definitely bring cash to speed the process up. I went on the day of a black out so only cash carrying patrons could really enjoy anything. It's pricey here, but it's well worth it.
I love going to txrf on school day! Prices are cheaper, same great vendors, no alcohol, plenty of great shows to enjoy.
Everyone was kind and I was able to immerse myself in the experience. Lots of people were in character. It was great. The prices were a different story. Though it was a expected for some prices to be high, I just didn't think a tiny wooden spoon or fork would cost $6. Expect to do lots of walking in order to enjoy yourself.
This Ren faire in Mission-Todd is huge. You can fill two days. Go in November when the weather is PERFECT. This is relaxed fun for people of all ages. Good rides for kids and adults, the employees all have a great sense of humor (some of it can be a little crude, but I like that for a laugh and it is fitting for this environment), and the shows are fun and free.
The shows are free. The rides are not. The rides are expensive; $3 to $10 apiece, and that's after paying for admission. For this reason I would subtract one-half a star if I could. Still, the lines aren't long.
The food is delicious for some people, if you like pot pies, turkey legs and sausage. It's at least nutritious food (for the most part; funnel cake and cotton candy are available) since it's based on pre- pre-packaged fare. These are the 15th and 16th centuries, after all.
You do not have to dress up (I haven't since I was 26) but lots of people do. Feel free to come dressed as anyone or anything, from a piece of fruit to Batman, be you a toddler or an octogenarian or anything in between.
The fun is non stop, the entertainment is non stop, the shows are non stop. So much fun, every year!
Fun place, lots of entertainment and plenty of food and drink! Huzzah!
I still can't get over how big this place was. It was a great time but the parking was a bit of a pain.
Lots of fun. Place is very busy with lots of characters. Fun,loud and very expensive. Make sure you bring lots of money and good shoes. Lots and lots of walking.
Very cool place, great for kids. Lots of walking it is on the pricey side. Get there early in the morning to beat the crowd.
This is not covid safe at all. No one was following the mask rules. I did not feel safe even though we were outdoors
Awesome Renaissance Festival. The shows are top notch. The food is great and the shops are unbelievable
Hated the traffic and drive to get here but once you make it's pretty cool experience and good food
Definitely a fun place to learn and play! With all the games,food and artist vendors there is bound to be something that screams at you to take it home!
A great festival to enjoy a day strolling through areas set up as the old countries of Europe with old renaissance style rides like Neptune's Swings, and fun games and activities like battle axe/knives throwing and crossbows/long bows archery. Cool museums to walk through including Castle of oddities with exhibits from movies like Gremlins, Hellraiser, and Stormship Troopers. Bring plenty of cash as each exhibit, game, and rides are extra. The shows are all free if you can schedule the times to watch different shows throughout the festival. The closing fire show is awesome to watch with a fireworks show to finish the day.
Love this place. It's my home away from home and the one place I am relaxed and feel comfortable enough to be me.
One of the best renaissance festivals I've been to. Warm, friendly people. Great food and drink. Fantastic shows. Awesome merchandise. Being held in the fall when the weather is cool is great. You can wear your best costumes without getting overheated. There's always plenty to do. With music or shows on every corner, you'll never get bored.
This Renaissance Festival is massive and diverse. No judgements, only hundreds of opportunities. So many shops and places to eat and drink. You could walk for hours without seeing everything. Its wonderful.
It was so much fun, with so much to do! Everyone there was super friendly and the merchandise at the shops was so cool, I wish I'd brought more money. Oh and the food was amazing! I was sad to have to leave at the end of the day.
This was.the first time and I had so much fun, there is drinking for adults and a kiddie corner with rides, bungies, and face paint for kids. The Texas renaissance festival was family friendly and so much fun with all the dealers there to buy things too.
Bring cash and this place is awsome. Recomend get a scooter for people who need it. Helped mom so worth it! Fun for all ages.
The people make the experience pricey that's maybe even overpriced but well worth your time and effort to enjoy the scene and people
Fun place for families or groups of friends who want to get drunk. Everything is pretty pricey so come prepared.
Great way to get a feel of how the times were and a great way to make great memories
Fun Lots to see & do ! Can't see it all in 1 day! Nice helpful vendors & entertaining employees! Great foods & drinks!
I went this past weekend 11/25/2019 I really loved this fair it was amazing there was so many things to keep busy with the only thing i didnt like is that everything costed alot of moneyy even the most simple of things costed alot of money there were some things that were way overprices i only boughts things at the trad shop bc everything there was 10 dollars or less that was the cheapest shop there it was still a really fun experience
Enjoyable time for the whole family. Good food, shopping, games, and entertainment. Really enjoyed the fire shows. Themed weekends are a blast too.
Food is great and souvenirs too. But just a little pricey
I am always amazed that 150,000 can attend the dame event in the same day and have very little drama.
Fun for cosplay, fair food & drink & people watching, as well as performance comedies, etc.
We always have a great time here. I was sorry to see that Arsene was not there this year - he's an awesome mime- but Ded Bob is still hilarious, food is fantastic and the fireworks are still the best around. I highly recommend it!
I was wrong - Arsene WAS there. I apparently has too much Mead.
The festival is an absolute must for everyone. It's lively, full of fun characters and great food. Fellow visitors are, for the better part, fun and excited to meet others - and usually in some of the most interesting of outfits. Camping is great if you know where to go. There are certain areas that become 18+...just be aware of that come night time.
My one criticism is in the getting there. Coming from.249 is death. It took us near 3 hours, once in Magnolia, to get into the camping grounds. I understand that it is a good deal of people coming to it...but it was exhausting and nearly caused our visits to be ruined. Though this is more of a criticism of how the municipality has handled this ever growing fun fest.
We make an annual trek. It's as mellow or as crazy as you make it. Wonderful hosts, clean restrooms.... always a good time.
It was awesome!! I highly recommend going. Just plan ahead with driving. Especially if you are coming from the Galveston area. Do yourself a favor and get a ez pass to use the toll roads!
This place is a crap hole i cant belive i have been here 30 years
I try to go here every year. The traffic sucks, which is my only complaint. A better infrastructure would be great in the area. Like off site parking with shuttles, etc. But this place is fun.
Wonderful time to be had by all... The family goes at least once a year... Can't wait for next season
Nice to visit and view the attractions and (distractions) lol
A very fun adventure to be had in Todd Mission! A very whimsical themed fair with many attractions for all to enjoy! Overall friendly community for everyone to live out their fantasy! Highly recommended for all levels of interest.
Love it!! We don't go every year but we make it a point to keep on going back.
Good time for the family. Just check the weather not much paved so it could be muddy.
We had an amazing time for the barbarian invasion. Can't wait till next year.
It is fun. And it tastes good. lots of different food to try.
It's okay. My lungs hurt from all the secondhand smoke I inhaled but other than that it was pretty nice.
Always so crowded but fun. All the stores and food merchants seem to sell the same stuff mostly.
Just like every year I go, it was awesome. Lots of people looking to escape from the real world for a weekend or two. As long as we let loose relax and just have fun we meet really good people.
Love dressing up and drinking. If you're cool with some debauchery it's the place for you. Get there at open and leave before the sun goes down, or stay reeeeaaly late to avoid traffic. Queens Pantry is my favorite breakfast spot, and turkey legs for days.
Perfect day to relax and enjoy some amazing food and great shows.
Excellent time to be had.
Great food and a great shopping experience.
There's a lot of handmade items you can't find anywhere else.
So much fun!!! My only advice is to go during a time when the weather is not scorching hot.
First timer...it was great! All the different foods and events
Awesome experience, huge layout, amazing people, and great food! Make it a tradition
Really great place with an amazing selection of vendors, entertainment, and facilities. Only downside is cost, everything is VERY expensive and outside food and drink aren't allowed.
Love this place, go every chance I get. It's becoming a little commercialized for my taste, but still a great time!
Amazing as always. The new area was nice but could have been a little better. It was kind of lack luster being it was in the works for 4 years. For was great as always but then again I usually only get the turkey leg. Lol the round table gourmet was amazing but I'm a foodie so go figure. Definitely worth checking out though. Overall a great experience as always!
We had a fantastic time even if it was just a half day. This was my first time catching the fire and fireworks show! There is plenty to do and see for all ages. It's easy to spend inside so I'm glad parking is free.
Although my girls and I always have a blast at the festival and the camp grounds this year I'm disappointed in the food. Every year I can't wait to go to the Greek side for gyro...this year it was gross. The meat was dry and flavorless and the veggies were old and discolored. My daughter's and I bought the combo with fries and drink which was $20 each so it was $60 in total and the fries were burned and hard as if from the day before. I almost broke a tooth on it!!! We thought maybe it was just that but the next day we got a turkey leg to eat and that was terrible too. The festival was fun but make sure you eat before going to avoid spending half the time in the bathroom...lol. On a good note the kettle corn is always on point. Campgrounds always great!!!
