I've never quite understood the appeal of ren faires, mainly because I'm frugal and I always felt like there wasn't much to do except buy stuff. Reading your comment, I think there might be a key step or two that I overlooked.

It also helps to go to a larger one that also caters to adults. Some of the shows we went to were clearly not for kids.

Frankly, I don't need to worry about ren faires at this point; I'm going to get plenty of that sort of entertainment going to Dragon Con instead.
