Event summary prepared by the Goldstar Editorial Team.
It was a blast! The food was actually very tasty and the entertainment
was excellent! The accoustics needs some improvement but it is really a fun time. We would do it again. Thanks Goldstar for making activities like this available for our enjoyment at a great price.
This was a fun special event. My 2 kids (6 & 3yrs old) were enthralled the whole evening. It is an expensive event so the reduced ticket price from Goldstar really helped! This place must rake in the $$$ because they take pictures to sell, have a huge gift shop and a bar. We spent a lot but it was a fun evening for the whole family, thanks Goldstar! :-)
My family loved it and so did I. The food was good too.
I have friends who had been to Midevieval Times and said it was good. I probably wouldn't have gone if it wasn't for the great deal through Goldstar. I took my mother and grandmother for my daughter's birthday and a good time was had by all. We were seated in the front row and could look into the eyes of the horses and the knights. The food was good and the show was very entertaining. Everyone was very impressed by the exceptional deal we got for such a great time.
I would give the entertainment 2 stars but the food 1 star. It's a fairly high priced event so I was very disappointed with the food. The roast chicken, which is their main entree was worse than you would get at a supermarket. Also, you only get one piece of garlic bread for the whole meal and no other bread or rice.
I had a blast! We were next to a fun family and our server was great. I was laughing from the moment we stepped in ! :)
The food and entertainment was good. The quality of the show has increased since I last saw it a few years ago.
My husband and I we didn't know what to expect from the show and everyhting was great, the food excellent, the services excellent, the show excellent, we love it. We want to go again and take our kids to see it....I hope the have this offer again for the "Black Friday" after Thanksgiving.....

I did not read the paperwork given to me at the counter so I was unaware of which side to enter from. I waited at the rope hoping to be the first one in. Hint: crowd is let in by hat color, which is explained in the paper work I did not read. Loved the show, more than enough food, my 9 year old did not like eating with her hands but it was a part of being in the era of time. I'll go again.
It is fun and cheesy, you get to eat with your hands and scream at the top of your lungs. I could never afford to go full price, but it is such a great deal with Goldstar, I was able to treat a friend for her birthday and have other friends come along with us! Horses that dance live at the mall, some poor girl in bad garb has to serve you "dragon tail soup", what more can you ask for??
Great time, everyone should go!
The event was incredible. Our experience from the ticket booth down to our seating arrangements was perfect. Just make sure to print out ALL receipt confirmations from GoldStar and take with you to the event. It will make your life much simpler.
This was a blast and enjoyed by everyone in our group -- including small children, teenagers, and adults! The seats were very good, and the food (and wait service) was great. The best part, of course, was the jousting and sword-fighting. Everyone in the audience got into the spirit by cheering for their designated champion. We are already planning on going back next month. (The only down side to the evening was the expensive concessions/bar service - which weren't included in the ticket price.) We couldn't have afforded to attend this without Goldstar.
Great show, the kids where thrilled, although the food left you wondering.....overall a great time!
The chicken is quite amazing. The horsemanship is a treat. This is not the most amazing medieval experience one can attempt to have (a ren fest is always better), but we had a lot of fun.
I LIKE THE SWORD FIGHTING AND THE FOOD WAS REALLY GOOD, I COULD NOT FOLLOW THE STORY LINE AT ALL AND WAS NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED, BUT ALL N ALL THE SOVERNIERS, HORSES AND THE WAITERS HYPE UP THE CROWD AWESOMLY.. I AM GOING AGAIN NEXT WEEK!!
The show itself was great. We took my Mother-in-Law for her 87th birthday and she loved it. Our problem came when we bought a soda. We asked the waitress in the lobby for 5 sodas and how much it was. She told us $11. Great, but what she did not tell us is that was $11 each. OMG, we paid over $55 for 3 diet pepsi's and 2 regular pepsi's. OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!! Would never go back and we will tell people about the horrific drink prices.
Acting could have been better. We attended the show in their NJ location eleven years ago and I thought it was much better then.
i was quite surprised with their dinner offering. the entertainment itself was ok at best.
