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.

I took my son and my 14 year-old grandson. We were there a little early as the email says you can be there 60 minutes before the door is open. We purchased T-shirts flags drinks and had a great time waiting for the doors to open. As soon as we walked in, and we’re sat our waitress let us know that we could tip her separately from the bar, ok She talked about tipping during serving She told us to tip her on Venmo and asked for $20 She came back twice and told us we needed to tip before we left She brought a credit card machine just in case we did not want to use Venmo. She asked so many times I did not tip her at all. I paid $200 for the tickets that included a meal. Her asking was extremely aggravating if she would’ve asked once or twice, I could understand, but throughout the beginning of the entire show, during the meal and hounding us at the end? Show is great, very entertaining for kids and lots of highly trained horses and team

I'm always down for dinner and a show, especially when the options are already gluten-free! My husband told me he noticed there was a sale this past weekend for Medieval Times in Scottsdale, Arizona. He had been to the location in Texas more than 15 years ago while I had never been. Not only did we have so much fun watching the horses dance and the falcon fly around the arena, we had a blast cheering for the blue knight from our seats a couple rows under the AV booth and directly across from the King & Queen, but everything but the bread and dessert is already gluten-free! Our server Mando was fantastic! My husband was given my bread while we each we given a half chicken, corn on the cob, a spiced potato and I had the gluten-free Italian ice while he had an eclair. Coffee, teas and sodas were included. I had a coffee and an unsweetened ice tea. We also purchased a bottle of sangria that came with 2 souvenir hurricane glasses for $38 and I got a light up souvenir castle cup with a slushy for about $16. As a Celiac, this was the least stressful gluten-free meal I've had at a restaurant in a long time! I highly suggest it. Visited: December 2024

Medieval Times was incredible! From the moment we walked in, we felt transported back in time. The best part? The sword fights! Watching knights clash with sparks flying from their steel swords was pure magic—so intense and thrilling that we were on the edge of our seats the whole time. The atmosphere, the cheers, the horses—it all came together perfectly. If I had one wish, it’d be for even more fighting scenes! I’d happily watch these knights battle for hours. Medieval Times, thanks for such an unforgettable night. We’ll definitely be back! ⚔️
