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.

Gluten-free meals available upon request include tomato bisque soup, hummus, carrot, and celery sticks, as well as the main course of roasted chicken, sweet-buttered corn, and herb-basted potato. You receive your choice of fresh fruit or Italian ice for dessert.

In addition, cocktail servers will be making the rounds and are happy to deliver a variety of spirits from the bar that guests request for an additional fee.

Won’t be coming back for a long time. I’ve been to this show at least 5 times over the years. It was always great. I don’t know if this a post Covid thing where service has gone to hell just like the rest of the service world… or they are just trying to get the most profit but from the start it felt like totally a different experience than the past. Checking in, staff was not friendly and barely spoke. No information, no hello, just throws a bunch of pointless lanyards, a photo ticket and table cards at us. No explanation or anything. Photo person didn’t even give us a second to line up. Didn’t even try to get my kids attention or tell us where to look. Then just it was super chaotic because they have the previous show exiting while the new shows guests are pouring in. So it’s loud and chaotic. I don’t remember it being like this. You used to be able to enjoy some drinks and pics before the show. Now it was just loud, pushing, unorganized mess. Then we get to our seats. I’m missing the banner I was supposed to get with my royalty (big joke waste of money) package. We’re crammed between 2 families. No space at all. But the worst part, because a show JUST ended.. the entire floor was wet and dirty. Pretty disgusting, especially with a toddler who drops everything on the floor.. but also there was no where else to put your things other than the floor!! Then the food was given and taken so fast it didn’t even feel like dinner. Then one hour before the end of the show we got the final call for drinks. This is only because they need to clean up for the show that starts right after. How is it last call an hour before the show ends when it’s a 2 hour show?! My dessert got taken while I was waiting for it to DEFROST. It’s literally one of those frozen eclair things. Frozen solid. We got dessert like 30 min before coffee. I even gave up that I was going to get coffee. The food was nothing to brag about. Chicken with little flavor and dry. Canned tomato soup. The garlic bread was good. Same one you get at IKEA. Corn and potato were gross. The potato was dry and the corn was old, like where the kernels barely come off when you bite. Overcooked? Idk. Or maybe freezer burnt. The show was just as chaotic. The games started, but with all the screaming, crappy microphones, no one even knew what was going on. It was just like they were going through the motions like robots. No soul. Just scripted robots trying to get through their 3 scheduled back to back shows. Really sad to see this place go downhill for the sake of max profit. And don’t get me wrong, I know it’s a business but between 250 for our tickets for parents and a toddler, plus at least another hundred for drinks, a unicorn light up toy and a souvenir cup… it’s not like they didn’t make profit. 350 for 2 hours of me being there getting served family style, it’s a pricey night, most definitely not worth it.

The food was pretty great, and the show was very entertaining, between the fights and special effect weapons. I would definitely like to see this show once more with family and friends.

"Fine show, cramped sitting, loud crowd"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed September 29, 2024
We got the most expensive vip tickets just to be squeezed in cramped space like sardines. It was 5 people at our table, while normally there should be at most 3 to feel comfortable. We all felt worse than on budget plane. Those seats maybe fine for kids, not for grownups. Also the table was close to entrance and people were constantly moving back and forth, obstructing the view. Other than that the show is fine. A bit slow the very first hour though. People cheer a lot and we were close to a particularly exuberant couple, so my ears were really hurting at the end. Overall I would recommend the show, especially for the families with kids.
