My parents, husband, two sons and I went and had a great time! My sons are 6 and 4 and they couldn't have been more pleased and entertained!! They had never been before and had never been to such an awesome live performance. They have been "knights" all weekend now. I highly recommend this for a special night out with the family! Especially in the winter months when we all get cabin fever!Written on Oct 18 2010

My sister and I took our parents to see this show and we all enjoyed ourselves very much. It is an interactive show so participation makes the experience much better. The staff was very friendly, and we were entertained the whole night. It is a good show for all ages. I highly recommend checking it out. I suggest getting there early so that you get a closer seat and have time to check out the merchandise.Written on Jan 05 2012

About the Ticket Supplier: Medieval Times - Chicago
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.
