It was so much fun watching the show through the eyes of our 4 year old! He was boo-ing and cheering with the crowd! My husband and I have not been to this venue in ages and thought that this would be a fun outing for the kids ages 11, 9 and 4. They thought that it was so cool to eat with your hands, the dancing horses and of course the sword and jousting fights. Our 4 year old had to meet the Black & White Knight at the end. The kids each purchased a souvenier to take home. We got some cute pics of the kids and the knights!Written on Oct 28 2008

This is a GREAT event at the Goldstar price! We had a party of 7, ranging in age from 2-1/2 to 68. Everyone loved the show! There's a variety of 'fight' and competition scenes in the show, as well as demonstrations which showcased the skills and beauty of the stallions themselves.Written on Dec 28 2008
You are served a LOT of food... half a chicken, plus 2 small ribs, soup, garlic bread, half a potato, soda, pastry, and coffee. You do eat with your hands but the chicken is so tender it falls right off the bone. They do not offer juice or milk for the kids with the show, so if you need that, I'd suggest bringing your own. As a side note, kids under 3 are free if sitting on an adult lap. We chose that option with our 2-1/2 year old guest, and it worked out great because there was plenty of food to go around and he wouldn't have been able to see well if he sat in his own seat anyway. ***THEY WILL GIVE YOU DOGGIE BAGS IF YOU ASK!*** We took home a lot of chicken! It was juicy and very tasty. Even my 8 and 6 year old kids thought the food was great.
I would have thought the show is overpriced if I'd paid full price ($56+ for adults) but at the Goldstar price it is well worth it. My mother even loved it, and said that it's something we should do once in a while for a change of pace and something fun!

We had a great evening at Medieval Times. The show was well performed and the food was quite tasty.Written on Dec 25 2008
We arrived about an hour before the show, since the instructions indicated that seats would be assigned as first come, first served. We did get pretty good seats, but we were bored waiting for the doors to open. I don't think there are really any bad seats in the arena, so waiting to arrive until a half hour before the show would seem adequate to me.
The museum of torture would have been interesting to see, but they charged another $2 per person for admission. I would have thought it would be included in the price of the dinner and tournament.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend going to this show.

About the Ticket Supplier: Medieval Times - Buena Park
Medieval Times celebrates its 25-year reign in North America. Medieval Times' founders first launched their unique idea for a dinner attraction on the Spanish island of Majorca in 1973. This imaginative new entertainment spot was inspired by the true medieval tradition of royal families inviting guests to a festival and feast to watch Knights compete on horseback.
During the early years in Spain, the show's authentic display of classic equestrian skills and medieval pageantry took place in outdoor arenas, a far cry from the climate-controlled castles of today. There, the conventions of today's shows were established. Guests were seated in sections named for regions of Medieval Spain and encouraged to cheer for the Knight representing their region.
As Medieval Times has grown in popularity both in Spain and North America, some things haven't changed. Like the commitment to the accuracy of weapons and costumes. Others have. The characters and storyline of the show evolve every few years, making sure it stays fresh and exciting for generations to come.
