Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Buena Park, CA

It’s an unforgettable wonderful eating and Entertainment. Horses in Medieval Times are beautiful and strong. Entertainment knight fighting on horses are astonishing. Everything was so real. Highly recommended for everyone.

I don't know how I made it to 52-years old before seeing this show. I know I kept thinking it'd be a waste of money and time because they are always popping up near other places that are like that, but man I was wrong. This is a legit horse show with so much more. Yes, it's expensive. We brought 9 of us and then spent and extra $20 or so per kid for bling at the show. It was on Thanksgiving Day though and we would have spent a lot of money either way. Seriously, just go with this. My husband took it as an legitimate reason to spend the money. From the 18-month old granddaughter on lap to the 13-year old making googly-eyes at the knights, it was a BLAST. Just jump in.

Been here every couple years and it is always entertaining .The Knight the princesses King and Queen make for quite the different experience.It is hard to compete with the price because you do get a preshow show and dinner..Ther is a full bar and the drinks are very good. Bring xtra money as the drinks and the gift shop there can be costly and add up quickly. Good time for all.

this is an event that has been before my eyes for a couple of decades. The theme is good, the PR massive, but the cost has always put me off. However, on this trip, my adult daughter said this was her heart's desire.... so my husband and I kicked in for us and her boyfriend. I went on line and got the coupon.. but when all was said and done.. the savings were only a drop in the bucket. The location was half an hour away from our rental near Disneyland. We got there in plenty of time. I had reserved 'priority' seating. Indeed, we were given our own special line, and special photos taken (that would 'be delivered' to our table). Part of the ticket price was a photo for ea member of our party. Well that was 2 photos too many. However.. it didn't matter that we got there early... after the photos we were all in this one room to await the doors opening some 15 minutes before the show. In the meantime, there was a bar ($9 lower cheap chardonnay), massive souvenir kiosks, and intermittent little dramas w/ 'the queen' and her court knighting children who had birthdays (at a fee of course). Finally we were let into our 'front row, 50 yard line' seating. The seats are stadium-style, all facing the arena.. they are also like airline seats (small, cramped), and no way to exit in an emergency unless you are sitting on the end. The dinner consisted of first a slice of commercial bread w/ garlic 'butter' and some very watered down Campbell's tomato soup (don't know where the basil went) ... then 8 minutes later half a small chicken (overcooked), and 10 minutes later roasted "a" roasted slice of potato and a chuck of corn cob. The dessert was so non-descript and mass produced it is not worth describing. Aside from all of that... which could be forgiven.. I was immediately put off when the 'Queen's courtier' arrived in the middle of the arena w/ his horse massively foaming at the mouth!! How could a horse, kept backstage.. now be foaming at the mouth.. and I'm talking mega-foaming. After that I had a sick feeling in my stomach about the rest of the show. Other horses were also foaming at the mouth.. but not as badly (full disclosure... my sister is a professional equestrian and this is just plain animal cruelty/neglect). There was some sort of dialogue/story line going on w/ the queen et al.. but the sound system was not good enough to really hear what the jest was. The best part was the actually the jousting games. The horses and riders were well trained. The riders were real stunt men as their falls and rolls were well choreographed. That part was enjoyable. Each customer had been assigned (by the color of their 'crown'), a knight to root for... so people (especially my daughter's boyfriend), were very into this part of the show. There was a pure white riderless horse who performed beautifully. There was also a falconer which was cool,. Said boyfriend also wanted to buy a knife and sheath. After the massive price, they would ship it to his home for $25. Say what? It was a VERY expensive evening.. not one I would do again. I would go for the jousting ... but only after they had been 'vetted' for how they treat their animals. Food was absolutely not worth it.. and seating was so uncomfortable. Also .. 'front row' seating was not as good a viewing venue as higher in rows 2 or 3 or higher. This is a HUGE operation w/ some 10 venues around the country and Canada. It is a well-oiled commercial machine. It was very easy to make reservations on line on the very day. Everyone is pleasant.. but know that you won't leave there without spending hugely more than you anticipated.

I am 6ft 4 and I found little leg room in the seating but that’s the problem with being tall, that being said it would have been a 5 star experience if the seating was better. Ok on to the positives: this is a well rounded fun experience for any age any group size any time you go.. amazing ability of the staff made this a truly rememberable time that will be spoken about always, thank you.... the food was really good, the chicken corn and potato half was cook perfectly, 2 slushee’s in a take home glass was nearly $30 the black and white banner was $5 there is a gift shop which can rage from $5 up... will I go again most definitely :)
