It really depends on who you're asking. Anyone with an interest in history, particularly Elizabethan/Shakespearean times, or Medieval/Camelot times shouldn't have to look hard for something fun to do or see. Anyone who enjoys role-playing or is a kid at heart and loves dressing up can have lots of fun too. It can also be fun seeing what everyone else is wearing. They're similar to state/county fairs, with many booths and displays where there are a lot of cool things to buy that you can't really find anywhere else. You might even find some food stands that sell actual food that would have been eaten back then, using the same ingredients and prepared the way it would have been 500+ years ago. There are also usually events like jousts, archery contests, dancing, and a Shakespeare play. Good Renaissance Faire's will have "employees" wandering around, appearing like they're just faire goers, like yourself. But they're really suppose to be trying to make it feel more real to everyone, by talking in Olde English, and befriending people and asking questions to remind people that they're not in the 21st century anymore. It can be a lot of fun talking to them, and pretending it's all "real". So, to sum it up, if you have any interest in European history, historical costuming, fairy tales, or role-playing you'll probably find it fun. If not, you might not enjoy it as much. I've been to many Ren Faire's, and I think they're a blast. There are always new sights to see, new things to do, and new facts to learn. =)

It's fun if they are done well. Keep in mind some of the clothing can be rather risque so make sure you keep that in mind if you take kids. (Overflowing corsets, etc.)
The rides and such for children are all human or animal powered. It's a good thing to try once.

A little of both.
i would suggest going once, but get into it.
I had some crap I put together and was a lowly peasant.
You can also see that some people honestly have no life at all.

Democrat Hank Johnson proclaiming that the island of Guam may tip over is a classic.

I love Ren Faires! They are really fun, if you like that time period. I even made myself a dress to wear to them.

it's a lot of fun, especially if you dress up in an elizabethan costume. there are so many things to see and do, I'm sure you will find many things to amuse yourself.

I think it is stupid. I have never been there. Too much "roleplaying".
