Carolina Renaissance Festival features armored jousting knights on horseback clashing before wooden galleries three times daily in Huntersville, North Carolina. Visitors watch falconry demonstrations, encounter swimming mermaids and fairies, and ride the Pirate Catapult trampoline and Flying Pirate Ship swing. The twenty-five acre theme park spreads across 325 woodland acres with over 140 arts and crafts shops, costumed villagers, games of skill, and people-powered rides. Themed weekend events include Celtic Music Weekend and Halloween Daze. Families can feast on turkey legs and roasted meats at multiple pubs and kitchens. Children ages 4 and under receive free admission. A Harris Teeter discount coupon saves $2 on date-specific tickets purchased online, while purchasing one full-price adult admission includes one free child ticket, as listed at carolina.renfestinfo.com.
Hours: 9:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.
