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.

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! ⚔️

The bar was ridiculously expensive. The food was disgusting, the chicken would have been better without lemon pepper and the potato could have done with less salt. The action was very fake.

The experience exceeded our expectations. We attended on a Tuesday night. Our server was great. Food was hot,really good, and plentiful. The show was excellent with plenty of crowd involvement. We didn’t get any special package although it seemed at least 80% of the attendees did but we didn’t feel we missed out on anything. Highly recommend!!!!
