Mayfest — Local services in Fort Worth

Meh... at best and the rating does not include a deduction for the heat. I suppose this is what a festival is supposed to be.... paid parking, paid entry, paid activities, paid eating. I get that but this just seemed very cheaply done. There werent many activities and the food was soso. Roasted corn on the cob was decent (be sure to add your toppings). Bought lemonade and strawberry lemonade from corn vendor and kettle corn vendor.... save the money and calories. Go buy a jug of Milo's. Tacos were ok. The best part of the festival is the kids built in play area that is free sny other time of the year- ijs. Ticket and parking prices listed on website. Food ranged from $5 - $15 non alcoholic beverages $5 - $6.kid activities cost tickets prices ranging fom 3 tickets and up (value =$1/ticket) Only petting zoo included 1 adult entry with child. The rest are paid adult entry. Enjoy...

The city is racking up on cash though. ...

I went today with a friend and her young kids. 12 dollars a ticket for an adult, 7 dollars for each child, 20 bucks just to park. Then, we get inside. 12 bucks for each sand art activity, and ridiculous prices for other activities. Funnel cake 12 bucks, and lemonade is 8 dollars. Unlimited ride pass is 30 bucks per person. These prices are crazy. Families cannot afford this, and the kids were disappointed they couldn’t do more activities because of cost. There were lots of vendors to walk through, but otherwise trying to do things was so costly. When I went as a kid, the entry fee paid for all the activities. Now is pay for every single thing. This is crazy, and I was so disappointed. People are hurting financially nowadays. Families cannot afford the activities. I’m...
