Games of Skill

Adventure Arena LLC

Adventure Arena is a sparring booth where we use high-quality sparring swords, axes, etc. to create fun exciting moments and rich memories. This is more for adults, but the equipment is highly safe and fun for children too. This is an activity where faire-goers engage in a realistic but very safe form of sword fighting, whether they are complete beginners or quite experienced with a sword. We retail the same type of equipment as used in the arena, as well as adventurer accessories that compliment our activity. We also are now hosting a medieval tournament where guests have a chance to compete in a structured, supervised medieval tournament complete with a prize weapon for the victor.
