Written on Dec 27 2012The show was very entertaining and was great how interactive it was with the crowd. It was nice how it was more than jousting and the food was very good as well. This was a great show for all ages and my family and I had a blast.

Written on Dec 14 2012The Show was awesome. The kids (aged 3, 8, 10 and 12) loved it. My throat still hearts after cheering for our Yellow Knight. Going with a big crowed is the best I guess so that you can have the maximum but it is fun all over the place.
The food (Dragon tail soop and the royal bird) was really good and I did not know that I can have a box to take the leftovers of the Royal Bird home until I nearly dumped it. There was equal quatities for kids and adults and we had to pack most the kids meal.

Description
Hear Ye, Hear Ye!
Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament
You’ll find chivalry, revelry and rivalry at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament’s California Castle.Travel back in time to the 11th century – a time of jousting, swordplay, horsemanship and falconry. A time of Spanish castles, Knights of the Realm and true medieval, utensil-free dining.
The Show
Of course, you’ll still be encouraged to cheer for one of six Knights. The production features new lighting, choreography, exciting battle scenes, costumes, new horse dressage elements and a fresh musical score composed by Daniel May. With authentic weaponry and enhanced armor, the production presents non-stop action and mind-blowing fight scenes tied to the tempo of the music.
The Horses
While most of the royal subjects at Medieval Times stand on their own two feet, the most celebrated members of the Kingdom are best known for their trot, gallop and canter. Four special breeds of horses complete the mix: Pure Spanish horses, Quarter horses, Friesians, and Menorcan. Without these magnificent 1,300-pound mammals, the incredible jousting and equine performances that take your breath away would be impossible. And like true performers, each horse is completely unique and requires training suited for its individual personality.
The Feast
Now, let’s talk about utensil-free eats. The menu features:
- Tomato Bisque
- Garlic Bread
- Oven-Roasted Chicken
- BBQ Spare Rib
- Herb-Basted Potato
- Apple Pastry
- Beverages and Coffee
If that doesn’t get you salivating, we don’t know what will. Vegetarians, do not fret. Just advise your server of any special meal requests once you’re seated.
Are you ready to surrender to an age of bravery and honor? This is going to be epic. You better hang on to your helmet because the show is about to begin.
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.
