Fun for every age, all in one village

A Family Day at the Georgia Renaissance Festival


Trade the screens for a storybook. In Fairburn, Georgia, just south of Atlanta, a whole Renaissance village opens its gates — knights and characters, games and rides, food worth the trip, and room for kids to be loud, curious, and completely in the moment.

Built for the Whole Crew

The magic talks back

Knights, royals, jesters, and villagers fill the lanes all day — and they're here to meet your kids, not just be looked at. A bow gets a bow back.

Something at every height

People-powered rides and games of skill for little ones and teenagers alike, live shows across the village, and a joust that stops everyone mid-step.

A village, not a venue

Shaded lanes, open lawns, and a day that moves at your family's pace. Explore in any order — there's no wrong way through.

The Shape of a Family Day

No schedule required — but if you want one, this rhythm works every time.

1 · Arrive & settle in

Come at opening while the lanes are calm. Grab a map, let the kids pick a first direction, and wander in. Parking is free and the village greets you fast.

2 · Anchor on the joust

Real horses, real armor, real thunder — the moment kids retell in the car. Build your loop around a tournament time and let everything else fall in between.

3 · Wander & graze

Food and drink throughout the village, artisans making things by hand, and games and rides whenever the energy spikes.

4 · Stay for the last hour

The village softens as the day winds down — the goodbye moments with characters are some of the best photos you'll take all year.

Good to Know Before You Go

Strollers are welcome. The village has unpaved lanes and gentle hills — wagon wheels and sturdy strollers do best. Details on terrain and accessibility live in Guest Services.

You can leave and come back. Nap in the car, gear swap, whatever the day needs — get a hand stamp at the gate for same-day re-entry.

Rain or shine. The Festival runs in most weather, so dress the crew for the sky and the ground.

Guest Services has your back. First Aid, baby changing, lost-and-found help, and answers all day — know where it sits on the map when you arrive.

Check the fine print once. Bag guidelines, outside food and drink, and everything else worth knowing is answered in the FAQ.

Capes, crowns, and dragon wings welcome

Costumes are encouraged and never required — for kids and grown-ups alike. Come as you are, or go all in. The full guide to dressing up lives on our Cosplay & Costumes page.
