The Minnesota Renaissance Festival is a sprawling medieval playground packed with knights, performers, fantasy attractions, artisan shops, and plenty of wonderfully weird Ren Fest energy. During our visit, we watched Danger Committee hurl knives, laughed through the antics of Puke & Snot, caught sword fights and armored combat, explored a dungeon and hobbit hole, spotted an underwater mermaid, caught a birds of prey demo, and Scott took his first elephant ride. We also tried a crossbow for the first time, earning our way into a special pirate society, cheered on the joust, posed on the Iron Throne, and fueled up on turkey legs and cheese curds. With so much packed into one kingdom, Minnesota easily stands out as one of the most varied and entertaining Ren Fests we’ve visited.
