Admission is around $28 the first half of the season and rises to about $34 nearer the end. Parking is free on grass fields. Food can be pricey, with a burger in the $10 range and wine/mead about a dollar an ounce. There are privies for what everyone needs to do (no plumbing) and they can get crowded for the ladies, not so much for the men. One sealed bottle of water is allowed at entry; you buy more at high retail price after it runs out. There are 12 stages or taverns for shows; benches get tiring after awhile as they are wood and have no backs. Most activities like archery mentioned in your article cost a bit more than in Arizona. Clothing is all over the map; some dress in period costume, some men wear kilts, some outfits are on the edge of modest. Kids are everywhere and very noisy. Overall, an interesting experience! Easy to spend $50 to $100 after paying the admission price.
