Eco Tours

King Richard

After a 30 minute drive enjoying the fall foliage we arrived at King Richard’s Faire in Carver MA.  The fair is set in the woods over an 80 acre lot.  The fair grounds have plenty of shops and food stands so you will not need to venture off once you arrive.

The pricing was a little high in my opinion, we paid $64.00 for two adult tickets and one kids ticket our 2 year old got in for free.  All of the rides in the park charge money and all of the shows have the actors begging for tips once they are done.  In total we spent about $130 for the day and we plan to do it again next year.

Green Carnival Rides

The rides are all manual, not one attraction in the park requires any electricity!  A few of the rides that go round and around are hand cranked and they work as well as any modern day ride.  Our kids had a blast riding on the rides and our oldest daughter enjoyed a ride on a horse.

Knife Throwing

The fair offered knife throwing, shooting a bow, shooting a cannon, and a few other tests of skills.  We did not see one tacky amusement park type of booth.

Fire Eating

Spread over the fair grounds where several stages where actors sang, danced, showed off tigers, and all sorts of stuff that provided everyone with none stop entertainment.  We watched a fire eating show for about 30 minutes.  The talented fire eaters were showing off how they put a flammable liquid in their mouth and set in on fire with their torch(see picture-look at her mouth).

Jousting at King Richard

The fair had a large arena where the knights put on a great jousting show.  The crowds where encouraged to cheer for “their knight” and everyone really got into the show.  I was amazed that the knights actually fell off of their horses when they were struck by another knight.
