    Fun, but some reservations

    First, don't buy your tickets at the door. Costco sells discounted two-packs for 30-40% off. I am always amazed at how large these faires are. I went with someone super familiar with the layout, so that certainly helped. The shows were fun, though I would...More

    Great fun, but crowds clog the toilets and parking lot

    From the other reviews, you understand the premise. The Faire runs weekends only in the fall every year, this year from Sept 2 through Oct 22. The acts are terrific - as soon as we arrive, the castle door opens at 10:30am, we highlight on...More

    Okay, but expensive

    The place is cute, but only cash is accepted on site. For food, you need to pay in the form of tickets. Have extra tickets at the end of the day? Too bad; you can't exchange them back for cash. It feels a bit like...More

    I agree with the above comments. Not much auxiliary seating. Benches at the stages fill quickly. I had to stand to see several of the performances. Might be a good idea to bring a blanket and find a seat on the ground.
