Description

Medieval Times is more than the nation's #1 and longest-running dinner attraction - it's a living link to the past where the glory, chivalry, and valor of old burst to life in authentic pageantry and thrilling tournament action.

While guests enjoy a hearty four-course medieval-style banquet (without silverware), six brave knights compete in games of skill astride magnificent Andalusian stallions. Lances splinter against shields of steel, broad swords spark, and a champion emerges, to the cheers of the enthusiastic crowd. The spectacle unfolds nightly inside a fully enclosed European-style castle.

The Feast:
The menu at Medieval Times consists of garlic bread, tomato bisque soup, roasted chicken, sweet buttered corn, herb-basted potatoes, the dessert of the Castle, coffee, and two rounds of select beverages. A vegetarian meal is available upon request.

Vegetarian/Vegan/Gluten-Free Meals:
The vegan meal includes a generous serving of hummus with carrot and celery sticks, a main course featuring three-bean stew with fire-roasted tomato and brown rice, and a choice of fresh fruit or Italian ice for dessert.

The vegetarian option includes all of these vegan dishes along with a side of warm pita bread.

"Great Time! Beautiful Horses! Knights!"

We loved it - it exceeded our expectations. Firstly, the dinner was excellent, and worked even for gluten and dairy intolerant me. Portions were ample - chicken, corn, potatoes, excellent tomato herb soup - and they gave me good subs for bread and dessert. The arena is huge, with dirt surface for horse safety, and great light and sound system. The horses - beautiful! I'd first gone around 30 years ago, and remember mostly jousting. There's still some of that, with other knight games and hand to hand combat especially near the end. Now there is some dressage, gorgeous Andalusians going through their paces, even a falconer with falcon that flies around the arena. A little of everything. A king and queen, a plot twist, pageantry. Our knight the green knight, was a great showman. I'd wondered if it would be good for adults without kids along, and it definitely was! Fun! We went off season in the middle of the week, and it was just half full. We just bought regular admission.

I've never seen such beautiful horses. They are entertaining and beautiful. They have a regal gallop. The food was good (way more than enough). The server was okay. The show and dueling are worth the price. The first row is over-rated as you have to look through a protective shield to see. I think 2nd or 3rd row may be better for observing. Overall, a great experience.
