Hear Ye Hear Ye the Minnesota Renaissance Festival is pleased to announce the arrival of new family friendly activities for 2014.  These new events and activities are sure to excite the knight or princess in your life. So gather up the kids and bring them down to the Festival this fall.

You are cordially invited to attend our new daily event; Fairytale Princess Party. This event is for the little princess in your life that has always dreamed of attending a magical tea party. Lemonade (tea), cookies and a craft will all be included along with your fabulous hostesses The Princess Court! The Princess Court will help the children with their craft and tell stories during the event. This fairytale event will be $10 per child and runs for about 45mins.

All children are welcomed to try the Knight’s Challenge Obstacle Course. You will be warned that only a true knight will be able to conquer this series of challenges. Also make sure to check out the New Thrones of Swords location and meet the knights of the roundtable and the protectors of this ominous throne! 

Need a minute to regroup from all the fun while stop by the new Kid’s Craft Corner. Everyone will be able to make their own fairy wand or pirate hat. This area is also next to Dr. Thora Pandora’s chemistry experiment. Come at 12pm or 2pm to experience science demonstrations & physics, including gas bombs, rainbow snake bubbles, elephant toothpaste & Newtonian beads.

On Sunday, August 25th we will be hosting a Bloomers & Tights 5k Race. Join Queen and Elizabeth and her Royal Court on this run/walk through the Festival grounds and woodlands.
