Perfect place to bring family and enjoy a good show with delicious food! Family and I came to celebrate my dad for Father’s Day. Greeted by friendly staff that provide you with your crown. Great places for pictures before walking into the show. Anywhere you sit you get a good view. We loved the experience and our color blue won, which made the experience 10x better! Definitely would return with a different group of people for the experience. The horses were beautiful and looked healthy. Highly recommend this place.
So fun! We decided to get tickets and go on a whim while we were visiting California for theme park fun. And we were so impressed! The entire atmosphere from the moment you enter is so quirky and fun. On the tickets, they tell you to arrive an hour early, and thats really just to enjoy the castle lobby before they open the dining/arena area ... which, if you dont want to spend any money, then DONT go early. LOL. There are a bunch of trinkets for purchase from magnets, flags, pins, etc. And then SO MANY swords & wands are ALL the glowing/light up things. The bar can be pricey, but they have yummy drinks (including virgin slushies for the kiddos) and fun collectible take-home cups. The show was really great - actors & animals were fantastic - and our server was fabulous. The food is pretty good for the large quantities they make. Its worth it to get the package that includes a picture, cake, and a flag because you get better seats, and the picture is a fun keepsake item. ONE NOTE: Bring a sweater or blanket if you get cold easily because the temperature in the dining/arena area is kept very chilly.
We went today and we loved the show. The actors, servers, staff, horses and animals were all lovely. Everyone did an awesome job. I loved seeing how nice the staff was to the horses. I am so glad we went. Such a fun time! We will go back again.
Loved the entire experience! Food was so filling and yummy. Service amazing! Everyone in our group loved the entire show. Tip: buy that souvenir glass, was a fun memento of a great evening.
We took our family to this and they all LOVED IT!!! It was such a fun and unique experience for them. The service was amazing, the gift shop was great to let the boys feel out the swords they wanted, the atmosphere was wonderful! Thank you for giving us such a fun night!! PS~ My husband enjoyed all of this but I think his favorite part was heckling the protesters out front. That made his entire night!
Came here for the second time, separated about about 25 years. To see this as an adult was a lot of fun, if you are the kind of person that is going to get into it and play along, then you will really enjoy yourself.Only disappointing thing was the food, it was pretty bad. They serve food in such a weird way, one item at a time. First comes the soup, then 10 minutes later came bread, then about 5 minutes late came chicken. Then another 5 or so minutes and one potato came, then another 5 minutes and the corn came. It wasnt quick, it was hot, it wasnt tasty. Most of the items were over cooked. The soup was the best thing provided in the evening.Now, ofcourse you probably arent coming here for the food, but the whole dining service was pretty bad. Our beers took about 30 minutes to show up, show was almost over.Show was fun and overall Im happy we went, just dont expect the food to be a selling point on the whole experience.
My first experience here, and I was disappointed. The show was okay. The acting wasnt the greatest. We decided to bring my mother on her birthday. She kept complaining about how bad the food was. The tomatoe soup was super salty. The chicken was dry. The potato was just OK, but the corn had a funny taste of 1 min before being spoiled. They also dont bring you a full plate. They bring one thing at a time. I purchased a long island that cost me $30, and it tasted like lemonade. The alcohol was weak. For thirty bucks, it should have been kicking. Then, the girl that took the order expects a tip on top of the cost of the drink. Our server started off okay and then dissappear for about 20 minutes after she brought out the coffee. She said she would be back with sugar and creamer and took forever. In reality, dont come here for the food and expect to spend a lot if youre a big spender. The animals were cool to watch but not worth the money spent for the family.
The food was delicious, and the show was awesome. The drinks were delicious. Our server was very attentive. I would definitely come back and recommend.
This was my families first time to Medieval times and we absolutely loved it! The show was so amazing, the food was great and the staff and atmosphere rocked! I highly recommend this location!
Loved it, the show was amazing and the service was great! The moral was awesome and you could feel as if it was a private show, and the knight were engaged with the crowd. The food was ok nothing to brag about but it is part of the experience.
Best 33rd birthday one can imagine. I got myself a beer horn! If you want a great night out with your mates, kiddos, or all of the above, you have it. They even drop down a lovely net to catch any wayward swords flying from the battle. Lets not forget to mention those stunning horses and the gorgeous hawk display.Bring money to get yourself a sword because honey, youre worth it.
I haven’t been to Medieval Times in years. Mateo our server was the cat’s pajamas! We had a hard time fitting in the seats and felt like we were sitting on the floor. Mateo hooked us up with a table after we asked him and he got approval. We had the best service. The food was hot and chicken juicy, the potatoes a little under cooked and the corn was a little mushy. I thought the garlic bread and tomato soup paired nicely. Our dinner ended with pretty good black hot coffee and a ok chocolate eclair. The horses were absolutely amazing. The beauty and skill of those gorgeous horses could bring you to tears. The cast were great I lived the show and had a wonderful time. We were in the blue section and saddened our knight did not win. Ten out of ten would totally recommend and ask for Mateo.
Super fun!! sadly the yellow knight did not win the tournament today. all the staff were kind. About the food; chicken, potatos and corn were ok but if you go to this show expecting a fancy meal it s better to enjoy the show.
What an exciting show. Four significant items that made my experience not so memorable.1. Food was not served as a complete dish. The first round was tomato soup, which sat for a few minutes. Not knowing what to do, I drank most of it, and the bread came after. The chicken was served with no sides, just plain Chicken. 5-10 minutes later came the corn and potato. What a disappointment.2. Forced to purchase. The family photos were pushed to the guests during the show. The associate came to our row during the show and interrupted the experience and meal.3. WOKE! 1 out of the 6 knights were of a different race, which we commonly see in todays culture. And guess who won the challenge? It ruined my experience, which caused the #44. Forced to give gratuity. The server came up and said, Cash or Card, like he was entitled to receive. I originally had my card in the receipt envelope to give gratuity, but once it became evident of the companys WOKE mindset, I removed my card and decided not to provide any gratuity in my frustration. I regret not giving gratuity now since it is not the associates doing, and I apologize.Overall, I dont see myself supporting this company anymore because of the above, and I will share my experience with others.
This was an awesome experience and it was fun watching the sword fighting and the horses! The food was really good and the atmosphere was exactly what I expected. Those horses can put on a good show too!
We were apprehensive to be honest. I upgraded to VIP, which was pricey. However, we had a GREAT time! Service was great, staff was friendly, food was good.The show was great too. They have some beautiful, healthy looking horses.Team Green!!!
Had a pleasant time. Food, service and ambiance were great. Nice short trip to get out of the routine.
We came here to celebrate my sisters 39th bday. And it was an absolute success. The atmosphere, the environment, and entertainment is top quality. The food is somewhat subpar but it’s overshadowed with the cheering and incredible time you’ll have cheering on your knight. The only other thing I really didn’t enjoy was how they have the show case of horses. I wish they were free roam in their cubes. But still do not hesitate to try this experience. ( Definitely upgrade your experience)
I recently went to Medieval Times with a group of friends and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The show was spectacular, full of action-packed jousts, sword fights, and amazing horsemanship. It was an incredible experience to see knights in full armor compete with each other on horses.The venue itself is also a great place to celebrate a birthday party. The atmosphere was festive and lively, with a great sense of camaraderie from all the guests. The staff were helpful and friendly, always making sure we had everything we needed.While the food was okay, it was still a fun experience to eat with our hands like they did in medieval times. We all enjoyed the chicken, potatoes, and soup.Overall, I would highly recommend a trip to Medieval Times for anyone looking for a great experience and an incredible show. Its perfect for birthday parties or any special occasion, and youre sure to have an unforgettable time.
Just a fun knight (pun intended). The drinks are Bomb! The food is delicious and plentiful. Show is terrific! We always come back. Super fun!
My group and I sorta stumbled onto this place at the end of our vacation, and Im glad we did!There is a fun lobby/waiting area where you can get drinks (bought my souvenir horn there) with lots to look at. After that, they take and seat you into an arena and then treated to a myriad of entertainment including horse performances, jousting, sword fights and more 😁While this is all going on youre served a multi course meal, we had tomato soup and garlic bread, roast chicken with corn and potatos, and dessert plus coffee at the end. Everything tasted good, enhanced a fair bit because of the experience itself. They were also able to accommodate my gluten free group member 👍And the servers do an excellent job of taking care of you without interrupting the show, ours was fantastic.
The food was just OK, service, just OK, but the real reason to go is because of the events, it was very entertaining my kids loved it.. lots of fun
1st time there was an awesome experience friendly people nice atmosphere but make sure you take a sweater or a hoodie cause it gets cold in there, real good show very interactive with the people especially the kids. Recommend for a family outing.
We had a good time. Although when we got there, they had a picket line from the old actors. They say the animals are abused and the staff. I hope thats not true. It was a good show but I hope they dont mistreat those horses.
Went here today for a 730 showing and man was it awesome…first time here and boy everything was great…service was awesome…food was great..service was great…we had front row seating and the show was amazing…definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to take their family out for a good time…
Medieval times is such a fun place to envoy a dinner and a show. The staff is so friendly. The horses are beautiful and talented. The meal was more then expected it included a drink, soup, garlic bread, half chicken, corn on the cob, potato wedge and even dessert. The whole time the show goes on. You get to be part of a team. We were yellow. There is not a set outcome. Extremely entertaining. I highly recommend to bring the kids and visitors.
The show is pretty good. Everyone in my group got immersed in the experience rooting for our knight. Food was good too. The gift shop has a great selection of items to buy and so does the bar. Everyone was friendly and treated us as royalty.
I loved coming here as a teenager. That was over a decade or so ago. Now that I’m in my 30s my family and I decided to go VIP to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Once we arrived we saw the knights on strike. We hate crossing picket lines but hadn’t known prior and had family that flew in. Please do research on Medieval Times LLC. They do not properly compensate their employees and have them working in unsafe conditions. The knights are falling off horses at 15-20 MPH and only getting paid about $18/hr when disney employees doing similar jobs are being paid $33/hr. Medieval Times LLC decided to increase pay to all locations except this one and the New Jersey location because they wanted to unionize. Petty if you ask me.My family and I have decided not to support them again after reading the article.In regards to the VIP experience, my mom is in a wheelchair and they could not accommodate for front row seating like we paid for. Instead we sat at the top row, which was convenient for my mom, but other family wanted a better view. Just something to keep in mind. With VIP you get a photo for everyone in your party, which was nice, and a celebration cake. Hopefully in the future they become wheelchair accessible and pay their employees a fair wage.
Loved it! Was so much fun!!! Such a great experience especially for the little ones! The show was great and the food they serve was good too! Definitely recommend!
I was here about 15 years ago. Brought my husband, son and wife to celebrate their birthday.. it was there first time.. so happy that they loved and enjoyed the food and entertainment..
1st timer. Freaking awesome. My kids LOVED everything about it. I liked how everyone stays in character no matter what the question. The show was amazing. We will definitely be returning.
It was awesome, the food was especially good, the show was fantastic, and the horses were exceptional. Oh, and the prices were incredibly reasonable compared to other dinner shows gift shop collectibles. I highly recommend Midevil Times Dinner show!!
This was just plain fun!!! Ignore all the negative reviews they really have no merit because everything about this place was amazing! The actors, the decor, the vibe, all of it was well worth the price! You’re not going to get a Michelin star meal but it definitely wasn’t as bad as some reviews are saying. The actors were super friendly and skilled when it came to the combat I was kinda worried one of them was actually about to get decapitated lol. But overall the show was excellent my daughter was thrilled to be there and treated her like royalty and the queen was super sweet and nice to her when she was knighted. All the knights were super cool and friendly especially the green and black & white knight. The upgrade was definitely worth it and we felt like royalty being right at the front of the action.I can’t speak on the actor strike, we didn’t have to deal with it because we went to a later show so they weren’t there when we showed up.And in my opinion I highly doubt the animals are being abused. The actors were constantly checking on their steeds and were genuinely concerned for their well being. The animals showed no signs of distress in their stables or during the show and were super calm when we were observing them.If you’re wondering if it’s worth the visit I’m here to tell you in the name of the kingdom it definitely is!!
We went as a family to just have fun...exactly what we had. We can highly recommend the dinner and a show experience.
We had a blast, they knocked it out the park. Definitely get the top packages its worth the extra $$, Thank you to everyone who was working that night. The best.
I think our server was new,he was slower than the others but he got the job done. The show was incredible WOW what an awesome time we had.
The show over all was very good. Service from our waiter was very good as well. We would definitely come back and check out agian. Food was OK.
Definitely fun for the whole family. Try to find a discount code online. Happy I went but not itching to go back any time soon. Food was not very good but they give you a lot of it.
I invited my brother and his wife to come enjoy a good show and good food 😊 This was their first time to Medieval Times and they both had a wonderful time being entertained by the crew putting on the show also the good customer service from our server 😊 The food turned out good, the temperature was hot but not too hot so that you didnt burn your fingers because thats how you get to eat but you can ask for utensils to eat also if you call in advance to let them know you have allergies or special needs they will work with you. 😊 I want to Thank you very much for making our evening a wonderful time and my brother said that would come again 😊
Great family fun night! Or date night. There is a living drama of knights, beautiful live horses, king, queen and there court.We were seated in the stands at bar tables surrounding the stage, that’s an arena.You watch from your table, the spectacular show with lights, music, horses, knights, dulling and cheer. We were served a full course dinner (eaten with hands) as we were the spectators in a Midevil experience from the past.It is fun and exciting for the whole family!! There horses and riders were very athletic, healthy and happy. Great show!
The food wasnt that great, but the service and show made it all fantastic. Accommodations for the wheelchair were fantastic as well.Perhaps they can season a bit better 😉
Our server took a while to bring us ourItems but aside from that she was very pleasant and helpful. The show was fun, we all enjoyed it very much. It gets quite cold I suggest bringing a sweater, especially for the kids. My childs birthday will be memorable for sure.
It was a fun and entertaining evening. The horses are beautiful, the horses doing tricks were my favorite. A lot of food. It is definitely worth it.
Fun Place. Unfortunately, the writer stike was in the parking lot. Suggest the 2pm show because the actors🎬 are fresh
Went for my daughters 11th bday! Got the vip. Had her knighted... the whole 9 yards. I had gone alot as a kid but this was my first time back in many years. Had a blast! Our knight won (which helped, lol) Food was great. Drinks were a bit pricey. Service was just ok, but Im sure that was our guy. Was disappointed to see the mugs and plates were made in China, but dont know how you would fix that... Overall Great time! will definitely be going back! ;) The horses btw are better cared for than most of your dogs at home... so no worries!
My family and I went for the first time today, great experience. The food is delicious, well worth every penny. Larry was great, very attentive to our needs and patient with our 2 year little girl. My other daughter is 5 years old, always says her name is Melody Princess, and today she was crown queen of love and beauty. Seeing her face Light up was worth it, we are definitely going back and getting Larry again. Thank you for this great experience. Red Knight 🥰
What an amazing time. Everything was wonderful. Even better than how I remember it as a kid. Only negative was while the show was going on the drink waiter never came and I had to physically go to the bar and buy a drink myself. Other than that WOW my family loved it. Better than pirates.
Fun place to take the family! It’s engaging with the section cheering on a specific knight. The actors paid extra attention to the kids by giving them flowers, sashes and little giveaways. The flower my daughter got made her day! The food was good as well, sweet corn, baked potato and a giant chicken breast and an eclair for dessert. It was a great experience I would take the kids again sometime soon!
The show was awesome and the food was delicious. Our server was very attentive and everyone had a great time.
Went for my birthday. Giselle at the front counter was awesome. This was great and we will go back soon.
Even if you arent into watching people run around in armor during choreographed fight scenes, you can grab a beer and let yourself get into it and cheer for your favorite color. The food is great, the service is great. There might be some protesters for animal cruelty there, but when I went, there was police presence the whole time. Its safe and family friendly. Would always recommend going back.
Its been a while since Ive been here. Food is MEH. The show, of course, is the highlight. After being here twice, I think doing it once is worth the experience. Dont expect too much of the food or staff. Wish I could say this place has gotten better, but it hasnt.
I truly enjoyed my visit at the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament Arena. Loved the surroundings, service, and tournament. This was my third visit in almost 18 years. There were some minor changes since then, one of which was the performers are much younger and the food was not as good it was then back in the day. However, the performances were fantastic and they had much more offers than did back in the day. Loved the horses and the actors did a great job of portraying what life was like back then. I would recommend this as a good event for groups, out of towners, and families. Kids would definitely love it. And Not to mention that Knotts Berry Farm and Disney Land are also in the area and would like to take some extra time to explore the City of Anaheim.
It was our first time. Celebrated the husbands birthday. The whole family had a blast. Definitely will be going back soon. T he food was delicious. The horses and knights did an amazing job.
Its a fun event - especially if youre from Europe, its fun to see jousting knights the US way 😂 but its a great time every time we go there. Came again after 20 years and it was a great evening again.
This is an experience everyone should have. Excellent service and the Knights were fantastic! Definitely a worth while stop!(Side note: Yellow knight best knight!)
Food was excellent, even for young picky eaters. Service was outstanding, even with a hiccup of our group having to be reseated to be all together. The light effects were great and the place felt very cozy.
Fun show. We ordered the vegetarian dish which was very good. Show was good only disappointment was that the mermaid didnt go into the water. Last year she went into the water.
If you like horses, this is the place for you.You get seated in a color company to cheer for your respective knight as they compete in various horse-oriented competitions. The first half was primarily showing off horses and their marching or trick abilities. The second half was a slightly more entertaining jousting & combat tournament between the knights. Certainly scripted, but it was fun, and certainly fun for kids.The food was okay. Tomato soup, garlic bread, bone-in chicken, corn on the cob, half a baked potato, and éclairs as the dessert. The éclairs were probably the best part of the meal. There was enough chicken to fill most people up, and they provide to go boxes.Its a fun atmosphere. Go for kids or for people who like medieval themes or horses.
Went for the first time on Saturday... food was ok. But overall it was a great experience great service and staff. Its Definitely entertaining especially for kids highly recommend you take the younger ones. My daughter got a flower from our knight and that made her night!! We will go again.
Amazing meal and show! Definitely recommend!
Our server was excellent. His name was Michael. The food was delicious. The performances were great. The stunts were awesome. I do suggest that you dress warmly because it does tend to get cold in the arena. The reason why it needs to stay cool in there is because the performers wear very heavy costumes and they are under very hot lights and with their stunts, they get very hot as well as the horses need to be kept in a cool temperature so they’re comfortable. I may also suggest that you possibly may want to take some earplugs, because depending where you sit, it can get very loud. But you will have the time of your life. It will be so memorable for you. I suggest you charge your phones because you’re gonna want to take videos and pictures.
Had so much fun.The show was spectacular and fun to interact. Food was delicious 😋Im definitely coming back.Loved it. I will recommend this to everyone.
Great fun for the whole family. This place has made we want to attempt a no utensils way of living, within reason. Very cool meet and greet with the actors and horses after the show. All things considered, great value.
We had so much fun!! Thank you! My son had THE BEST TIME!
First visit..Cant wait to return next year..Wow! What a great show! We upgraded to VIP to sit front row and it was worth it! After the 730 show, the Knights came out for a meet and greet.. that was the highlight of my kids night! #goGreenFood:* 1/2 chicken (they were a bit small, some of our party had to stop by and pick up food on the way home)*soup, one potato wedge, corn on the cob dinner roll.I suggest you call for your reservations. We were double charged when the online system had a snafu. We notified them ASAP but now we have to wait a few days for the clearance on our card. (A hold of over $500.00 on vacation is scary; a party of 8). Im sure it will be taken care of once we get back home.
Been to quite a few Medieval Times and this one was very memorable and fun! Our kids loved cheering on and loved seeing the animals. I feel the food and drinks were good but pretty limited for the price. They do have a gluten, dairy, vegetarian option as well which is helpful. They show is the best part! At times the characters seemed to try to talk an old English style that the speakers overpowered their voices so it was very hard to understand at times. Other than the Audio, it was super fun, engaging, and most importantly, the family had a blast!
Very entertaining show while having a delicious dinner. Great for all ages.
Such a great time. It was very clean! ALL the workers and performers were nice and friendly. The show was cool. And last but not least, the horses were beautiful and the hawk was awesome.
The Show was great our server was exceptional, my grandson needs a little extra help and he provided it. Cant say enough to all of the staff..thank you!
Brought my daughter for dinner and a show... boy what a great time, highly encourage to bring friends and family. Food was tasty and even have vegan options, amazing time, show contains medival games, jousting, and battle scenes, you get to cheer for a colored champion depending on your color seating. Staff was polite and helpful, place was clean and welcoming. Well definitely be coming back!!!
The experience is worth having. I really enjoyed the show and atmosphere of it. Theyre good actors. My kids were desperate to watch the fight, which is the last thing on the agenda lol Thus, there was a lot of mommy, when they are going to fight?...The food was good, not great. The servers were really nice.
The ambiance is amazing, the horses, knights, and arena, there is so much to see and experience. You dont go to medieval times for a 5 star gourmet dinner, so for what it is, the food was good. Started with tomato soup, cheese toast, half chicken, potato wedge and corn on the cob. My chicken breast was dry, and the corn was over cooked. There is also a vegetarian option, three bean stew that my husband really enjoyed. For dessert they served an eclair and coffee. However Portos bakery is right next door so you can go and get a wonderful dessert afterwards. The service was great, always nice to be called My Lord. All in all a great dinner and show, fun for everyone!
First time visitors and we had a blast! We arrived ~1 hour before dinner and enjoyed drinks from the bar. Unfortunately, we had to buy glassware to get a drink, and I wish we could have ordered a drink without buying a glass. The show lasted for 2 hours and all of the knights were impressive on horseback. It did not smell like we were in a horse arena, which was nice for eating. The food was okay (baked chicken, potato, corn). We are definitely planning a return trip.
We went to medieval times for my son’s birthday. We had a great time and the show was great. The entire process ran like a well oiled machine. The food was not the best. The chicken was very dry and lacked any flavor. I do wish they added some barbecue sauce or something to the side of it.
Most unique dinner experience. Super fun, festive atmosphere. Awesome staff
Amazing staff. Amazing performance. I absolutely loved it here. They did an amazing job making me feel welcomed and safe. The food was not nearly as bad as some people say. The characters/performers were professional and despite some hard questions they remained in character and answered honestly. If you are a tourist or a local Medieval Times is a must. 100% would recommend for the young, old, and every age between.
Once in a life time experience, upgrade to VIP for 20 dollars more You are able to sit 3rd row, have your name announced, and are provided with a group photo, which would cost the 20 dollars, if you were to buy it there anyways. This performance is outstanding. The food is not great, but the ambiance makes up for it. Please take your children to experience this at least once. I believe ages 7 and up would enjoy it the most.
The most entertaining, fun and exciting place ever! Ive been her twice and had VIP for both times! (I dont know its like otherwise!)The 1st time was the absolute best:-We were on the black and white team-got the flower AND queens flag from the knight!-had an amazing server-sat right in the front-got pictures-had so much fun!The 2nd time was great too!:-we were on the red and black team-got the flower-sat right in the front-got pictures at the end with most of the knights and the bard-got a variety of picturesI 100% recommend coming here with a group and having fun together! Especially VIP!
Best show and the food is great! The kids love going to this dinner event.
I love how all the staff are always in character. They were all incredibly friendly. We had a blast! The show was so much fun!!! Our server was great, and I love how they bring the food and drink throughout the show. We will definitely be back!
I had a great time with my friends, they have good service, the food is pretty good, the overall atmosphere is incredible.
Wonderful experience! The only thing not perfect about it was the sound system which made it challenging to hear and understand the actors but this is an extraordinary dinner theater experience with beautiful horses who perform, a falconer sending their bird all around, jousting and swordplay as well as rivalry among each area represented by colors and a knight. This contest of champions was a lot like pro wrestling and was just as much fun. The food was better than I expected in terms of taste and quality and I cant imagine how many rotisserie chickens they produce every year! It must be a thousand a day but they keep the quality!
I brought my kids here not realizing this is basically an animal show. They whip the horses to do silly tricks, like walk on their hind legs and jump around. The horses seemed terrified. One horse had its tongue hanging out of his mouth the whole time because his bit seemed to be hurting him or something. (I posted a blurry photo of it.) Most of the other horses were drooling and their mouths were sort of foaming during the whole show. They were also tied up by the mouths behind glass for us to see before the show started. When the actors fought without the horses it was still cool, the horses don’t even seem necessary to the show. I don’t recommend this place if you’re sensitive to animals, my kids had fun but I hated seeing how badly the horses were treated.
Second time here and I absolutely love the place! I go during summer camp field trips in a nearby city so the experience is different than most. You have no food selection but just what they gave you which is some really really dry and unseasoned chicken that me and my family didnt much enjoy. Half of the baked potato was decent. Red apple had something off about it on the taste I cant describe. Garlic bread was sooo soft and good! Grandmas sealed cookie bags were great! And a regular water bottle. Entertainment was AMAZING!!! 10/10!!! Staff was really friendly & helpful 10/10!! Really just the food that we couldnt change. . . 2 of my family members starved the whole trip due to refusing to eat the food that was provided.
This was a fun place to visit!! The show was very entertaining and the staff was amazing. The food was great...but be prepared to eat with your hands (you are in medieval times). Most will have roasted chicken, but they offer food for those that are vegetarian and are concerned to ask about food allergies. This is a fun place to bring kids. They were very catered to by the actors and staff. All in all, this was a fun way to have dinner and a show!!
Really had a fun here! Mostly because my 8year old absolutely loved it and was way into it! Food is so so as long as you like chicken. our server was great! And the green knight rules! Lol
Went here again after 20+ years. Had Ana amazing night with my family. My kids absolutely loved it! Even though our Knight lost...youre a trooper Black&White!!
Youd wish to live in medieval era after watching the show!Their knights fights were the most fascinating part. Their sword fight create sparks!BTW, they sell beautiful real sword there...it was so sharp I almost cut my finger by touching its edge.
We took our daughter here for her birthday and we all had a blast! Staff and actors were phenomenal and made it a real treat! I would highly recommend taking your family and friends here for a dinner and a show! Thanks everyone for making the day so special!Make sure you know how many people are for sure in your party. You cant add more the night of the show.
Inhumane conditions, workers on strike for fair and SAFE working conditions for animals and staff. DO NOT SUPPORT. Horses kept in stalls like fishbowls, tied to walls some unable to turn around if agitated or scared from constant public onslaught, or unable to access water or feed.
Great family entertainment, the kids really enjoyed the entire performance. Especially the cool light up swords we bought for them to play along. But make sure your hands are clean before you sit down. In the spirit of true medieval time you’ll be eating dinner with your hands. Doors open an hr before the performances and I recommend buying tickets in advance
Outstanding way to celebrate a birthday. And we will continue to rave so to our friends and family. We drove up last night from San Diego; family of 8 - many of them first timers. The show was entertaining for ALL of the adults and all five children of ages ranging from 11 to 2. We had a wonderful experience. Our server Otis was the kindest soul ever. Id give this rating a 5++++ if I could b/c of his personality and customer care. However, all of the ladies working photo (both in the line - and at the booth to purchase) could do better - most of them were rude and hustled you off like you were cattle. Overall a very fun and interactive evening - even tho our red knight ended up being a bad guy and losing in the final round :) but to make it for that my niece was given a banner and flower from him. She is 5 and still raving about it!!! Great job Medieval Times. We will be back!!
Our kids went on a field trip here for history class. They had a blast and I loved how they didnt just focus on the jousting, but on how the knights lived by a code of chivalry. They really geared it towards teaching the kids the good lessons of how to treat other with respect, not participating in gossip, helping others, showing forgiveness and mercy. Made for some excellent discussion on the way back to school!
It was fun great service, beautiful horses..great show..performance was fun..Clean..
Well worth the ticket price. Food was better than expected for a big live show, but nothing special. Absolutely not the draw, though. All staff was super friendly, and the production was fantastic. Good fun, definitely exceeded expectations.
So much fun took my husband for his birthday great prices good entertainment to full bars
Loved it here, my group and I had so much fun. The performance was amazing and the crowd gave all the right hype. I 10/10 recommend. They food was also really good and flavorful.
I have no idea how this place makes money because when you consider ehat needs to be covered in admission, this is amazing. Thr full course meal is great, the staff, servers, performers are so good, and of course the beautiful horses need great care. This place was awesome. My 5 year old son loved it (they even gave him ear plugs when the noise was too much for him). We will definitely go again
The show was amazing. A lot of fun to watch. Very well put together, and a lot of cool moments. Definitely worth going back just for that.Also, this may be just our experience (We chose the Vegetarian Menu) but even though it was such a great show, we were left disappointed with the meal provided. We didnt realize the food would be such an after thought, so we didnt eat before we arrived, and left hungry and the show and meal.Im sure a lot would say thats to be expected but it was a surprise for our first time.
Fun place especially for kids. The crowd really enhances the experience. Definitely recommend going with friends who are willing to embrace the cheesiness for this reason.
I went recently for an anniversary date, and my girlfriend and I had a great time. The food was great, and the slushy was amazing as well. we will go back in the future, probably in summer or spring
Took my to sisters for there birthday 🎂, there was 5 of us and we loved it, had a great time, food was delicious and our server She was the best, we were the BLACK & WHITE TEAM, we Won and I caught a Flower 🌼 🥰. Our day spent with you all was awesome. Thanks for a Great Show and Dinner Medieval Times .....
The show was amazing! It was so entertaining that time went by so fast. For supper, I got a cup of tomato soup, half a chicken, half of a big potato, and bread, with a Pepsi. So make sure you are hungry before coming here. It is a different experience and you get to eat with your finger there are no forks, spoons etc... When we arrived there the lines were massive but they move very fast.
Very nice experience with my family. Excellent service and very well recommended show for all ages, my kids as well as my wife and myself, we all enjoyed all the show, from beginning to end. Dinner was good, dessert delicious and even ☕ to watch the show. Enough parking space, clean 🚻. You have to visit and enjoy the experience
I am so worried about the horses. They have them tied up extremely tight and they’re literally foaming at the mouth while doing tricks. I can’t find anything online about the company showing the treatment of the animals or anything. Other than that I think it was great, just couldn’t focus on anything else cause I was stressed about the horses! Our server was amazing and the staff is incredibly friendly.
Great dinner! The food was so good! You eat with your bare hands and it adds to the fun medieval experience. You can let them know prior to the show about vegetarian options to get the soup (also yummy). I brought my lover here for his birthday and we both enjoyed it. It was pretty awesome our knight won the show too!
One of the best experiences for us first timers! We were celebrating a birthday so we did the celebratory upgrade and it was absolutely worth it. Walking in, the service was very informative, thank goodness. They told us what we needed to know and where to go, very organized. The games and fighting were amazing. Our very own red knight won! The food was delicious and very filling! I had the regular meal as the rest of my party had the vegan/vegetarian meals. They absolutely loved their meals as well so Im thankful for that because thats what I was concerned about. I also surprised the birthday girl with a knighting ceremony which was cute! Glad the package came with a group photo that we each all get to take home. I would definitely recommend others to go and will come back again soon!
Really enjoyed the show. The horsemanship was excellent, and the actors did very well.
We loved this as a family so much!! Possibly the highlight of the 5 day trip. Excellent food for both meat eaters and vegetarians. Gift shop, swords and drinks were all impressive.
I found the experience good. Everyone was friendly and entertaining.At times the main presentation seemed it had a lot of fluff in it to fill time. I wished there was more games instead of the demonstrations of horse gallops and trots. That being said I loved seeing the ability of the horses and they seem to treat them well.The food was okay. Nothing terrible, but if your looking for great food, this is not the place. You come here for the experience and everything else.
A exceptional evening spent with 3 friends. The value of entertainment and dinner vs cost is actually decent in todays world. It is not your average night out for dinner and a movie but is comparable in cost. The Falcon show Alone is impressive, add the horseman ship and jousting battles...sword fighting and story line...well its very cool!Audience participation is Hugh... As each section you sit in is assigned to a knight fighting for the colors they represent...our section was the yellow & red...our Knight battled the other knights and ended up in the final duel...with the rebel red knight, and was victorious! The Queen and her Court along with the knights were available for hand shakes and pictures after the show and dinner..oh and the food was great!Giant chicken half potatoes grilled bread, bisque and eclaire...bring your cell phones with a full charge cause youll need it for recording video and photos. Arrive an hour early and visit bar, animals and souvenir shops before show...youll leave with smiles and good time memories.
Show was great. Really entertaining. Food was good. They only offer soda and water to drink. No juices or lemonade or iced tea for people that don’t drink soda.Got the vip package so instead of the cake we got fruit cups with was melon and pineapple. Pretty fresh. They still gave us the cake but looked pretty dry so we didn’t eat it.Some items are over priced and some are moderate. So be prepared to spend a pretty penny.Service was great and staff was very kind.
My boyfriend took me here for the first time and I throughly enjoyed myself. Got a flower from the Red Knight, the food was surprisingly good, but my favorite was the falcon flying over head and thr beautiful horses. Cant wait to plan our next trip
Great my server wasnt the greatest she was behind all the other servers, BUT I MUST SAY THE SHOW WAS amazing..i havent been for a few years but the show was different me and my wife enjoyed it
We celebrated my sons 6rh birthday and he absolutely loved it! Thank you Medieval Time for such a great experience for my entire Familia. It wasnt our first time and will not be our last!
This was my first time going. The atmosphere was awesome. The food was great. The show was fantastic. Loved the whole thing. It was enjoyable. Even bought a few souvenirs to take home. Thank you Midevil Times
Very entertaining, friendly staff, items paid in advance were not at the table. Waitress gave wrong drinks but apart from that was very nice. The show is recommended
The show was great!, our server was slower than the other ones, and the chicken was a little dry, but other than that it was still a good experience. DO NOT FORGET A JACKET! It is a little cold in there, but Im assuming its for when there is a full house and to keep the animals cool. 0
Went here as a kid 20 years ago and recently came back for a family trip. It was just as amazing as I remembered and so much fun. Food was delicious and the entertainment was exciting!! Highly recommend.
Food was pretty good despite a lot of negative reviews I’ve heard. Maybe needs a bit more seasoning for the chicken that’s it. Actors were great and fights were fun. The strike outside should come with a warning, they’re rather annoying and none of them seem like actual employees who have worked there before. I would have given them more of a listen but they started ranting how horrible we were for buying the tickets.
Is just fun, guys. Food, service, and atmosphere are good, too! We did not rsvp for the vip, and we loved it.
I love the show always have. Its gotten better since 20 years ago. Food is better. My reason for 3 stars was because of service. I paid for the large glass mug that was supposed to come with free refills for the night. The food server couldnt fill the beer glass order and different server would fill alcohol refills. After the purchase I never got a refill. 2 hour show, requested the server to get the one filling beer several times and nothing.
I really enjoyed the show but the food just wasnt good. Chicken was dry and bland.I know theyre trying to stick with the theme but for the price they could at least add some gravy or something. Drinks are way too expensive. A margarita and a long island iced tea cost $60. Also youre greeted by employees on strike as youre walking in...Over all I had a decent time.
Amazing dinner and show! Everyone stays in character the whole time and really give you an experience of a lifetime! The dinner is served while watching the show. They have a few accommodations for meals and seating. Before the show, you can walk around, buy stuff from their many counters of trinkets, Enjoy a beverage or two from the bars, see the horses, possibly meet the royal family! I know with Covid, things have changed a little, but they make the experience great any way.
We had such a fun time! The show was a blast and you really get into cheering for your night *Go Yellow!* The food was pretty good I really loved the whole experience of eating it with your hands and the staff are all in character and just add that little extra!
So much fun! The crowd was really into it, which makes things so lively! Food is served and its hands-on style, so no flatware is provided. Not a whole lot of extra space so be aware. If you have any announcements or special requests get there early so they have time to do them. Its a two hour show and the seats can get hard so bring a cushion if you need one. I really enjoyed my experience and would like to do it again.
Even though we went to Universal and had to take an Uber for almost two hours, it was entirely worth it, and almost trumped The trip itself definitely go out of your way to come here.
The show was amazing but the food was disgusting! Boiled chicken, dry shriveled up potatoes, and boiled corn. I get its themed but salt did exist in medeval times. Eat before you go or just head next door to pirates dinner adventure they have really good food. Plus side cute horses!
Overall it was a fine experience. The sentiment from the family was glad we went but no one would care to go again. This included my 5 year old son and 10 year old daughter. The show dragged on at times. The first hour was very slow. Service was the standout. Our waiter and bar hop were both excellent. Food was mediocre at best. The potatoes were inedible. The chicken was cold. The eclair still tasted frozen. Again, a fun thing to do once but not something were rushing to do again.
Super duper fun. Food was alright but that’s not what it was about, the show was fantastic, sparks flying, horses neighing, knights yelling. You really get into it, even if you thought you wouldn’t. Kids and adults alike going to love it.
Its one of my favorite places to go for the show + food experience, but the food could be a little better especially because its gotten more expensive. The drinks are good, but plan on spending $ for a drink, but on the positive side if you pay a little more for the drink you get the cool cup souvenir. I recommend the VIP package for the best experience. Warning, the drinks are weak so youll need a few to fer happy 😂. If I could give it a 4 and a half I would because of the price, but Iove the show!
Had alot of fun. Food was actually really really good. Its so cold inside so make sure to bring a jacket.
Our first visit and the reservations were easy to make online. Sign up to get bday discounts, and like I was advised, there is no bad view. We started with with tomato bisque and garlic bread. yumm. The roasted chicken was huge and flavorful, corn on cob was juicy, baked potato was filling. Ended with choc éclair and hot coffee. Everyone gets 2 soft drinks of choice.As for the show... excellent! It was exciting and well choreographed. Our wrench Cynthia was superb!Thanks for an enjoyable experience!
An awesome show and dinner. They make you buy a mug when u order your first beer was over $20.
I had an amazing time the food was good its a great place for families of a nice date night. Plenty of handicap parking available. They have an area inside to relax and have some wine before the show . I will be back .
OK - the 5 stars is maybe for the nostalgia of this place, but we recently went back and cheered for our favorite knights and jeered those that dare oppose him.This is one of those experiences you definitely get out of this what you put in. I absolutely had a blast, my throat was horse all the yelling!Adult beverages are not cheap + but BIG!
This place is pretty cool especially for the kids. I believe it is worth the money. The food was okay, maybe average or below average but I dont mind.This is just a one time experience kind of thing.
Several courses of food, skip the soup, the bread was tiny,the chicken was actually pretty good along with the potato and corn. The little desert thing was ok. Coffee was good. Skip the alcohol drinks when you arrive, extremely expensive for a slushy with a single shot of alcohol.
Amazing show! Hubby and I watched it to celebrate our 3rd Wedding Anniversary. We found a promo price online and upgraded to Royal seating. We were right in the front row! Ticket includes a delicious dinner consisting of soup with bread and roast chicken. You have a choice of soda to drink and coffee after the meal. Fun to watch with family and friends. You get to have pictures taken with the cast. They have a wide array of souvenirs. Theres a bar too if you fancy drinking some cocktails.
Cute performance. Food wasn’t very good though. Soup was cold, chicken was dry and had no flavour to it. There was no salt or pepper that I could use either. Overall it was okay. I definitely was expecting more due to how much I paid but again, it was a cute show. Personally, I don’t think I would go there again, but it was a cute experience.
This was an amazing experience with great food and great service and the show was a blast!!My only reason for the 4 stars were due to a handful of employees striking and screaming in your face as you walk in claiming poor wages and animal abuse. As someone who works with a team of draft horses on a daily basis, these horses show no signs of abuse, or neglect and based on body language, eyes, ears etc. during the performance; these horses are extremely happy and healthy and you can see the riders care about them. These horses are not being “whipped”. Training aids, including leg aids are used on all horses and do not harm or hurt the horses.
Awesome place. First time coming here and honestly l, you need to come to this place and enjoy the show its great. Very friendly staff. Come with empty stomach they serve a good amount of food. You can buy drinks inside and during the show too.
Birthday celebration was a blast, set right in the front row, the chicken with soup was an 8/10 but the show was 10/10 and the customer service was also 10/10- For guest 21+ They had a wide variety of drinks available the bar 👍
Amazing experience. I was here many years ago, and I wanted to come back and share it with my family (kids & husband) no one was disappointed, we were so happy and kids really enjoyed everything, we really felt we belong to the royalty, it worth it! We want to come back soon. I do recommend this place a 💯%
There for the first time to celebrate my grandson 10th birthday and my 7 yr old grand daughter was so excited to see the knights and received flowers from the knight. Food was good we took home left overs! Photos with the Queen for birthday boy came out great! We all had a great time.
My daughter Lucy thats going to be 3 on August 18 2022 loved the show ❤️ I used to go all the time When I was younger The show was a lot of fun the food was pretty good but most of all we made pretty amazing memories.
Great show and dinner. You get a surprisingly large amount of chicken for the meal. Other sides are good too, potato, corn, toast, and tomato soup. Desert was a piece of lemon bread. Show is about 2 hours and very entertaining. We went years ago, and I noticed the air quality from the horses is better now. Beware, they will nickel and dime you with the extras: drinks, souvenirs, photos, museum of torture, birthday options, etc. It was worth the cost, family had a great time.
We love these shows. Teenagers were very happy to distract themselves from pandemic. Staff was friendly and social distance was in place. Upon being seating it was like boarding a plane. Rows up front were called first and so on. A good 6 ft separation between families was obvious. The food was great. My teen who is picky actually ate. Great night!!
Very fun for the family, the food is good. Horses are very well trained. For first time goers, there are no utensils, so be prepared to eat with your hands. Napkins and wipes provided.
Just loved this show. I hadnt been here since I was a teenager and I brought my youngest son. Food was really good and big portions. The show was full of good drama with good and evil plots. Not the cheapest night out for a family but still fun.
Amazing Show!! Great friendly staff! Dinner was simple yet delicious. Absolutely had a wonderful time and definitely going back ASAP.
We had a great time, enjoyed ever second. The food is good however the chicken a bit dry but overall good. The show is really interesting and I totally loved the horses. Good recommendation for a family day 🤗
Great show and good food. Discovered that tomato soup isnt horrible! Lol. Our server was not very friendly and acted like getting candles for the birthdays in our group was a huge ordeal but otherwise a great dinner and show. Make sure you go early to see the horses in their stalls indoors! You cant pet them because there are glass windows blocking them but its still really cool.
So. Much. Fun. I havent been here since I was a wee young lady but my boyfriend and I went to celebrate his birthday and its just as fun for adults! (The adult beverages made it that much more fun as well!) The alcohol had GREAT prices, and I mean GREAT. And man, they were not kidding when they call it a feast. So much good food! I am vegetarian and the food was delicious for me. We are very excited to go again. I paid for the $15 extra VIP for good seating and I was extremely pleased with out placement. The regular seats however had a great view as well!
Staff and service were amazing but the food was a huge disappointment. For the price we as a family of 3 paid 220$ VIP the food could have been better quality. Becuase it is eating in medival times no utensils are provided be forewarned. The tomato soup was so watered-down down it felt like I was drinking a V8 tomato juice. Felt like the should of provided options in regards to meat options but only chicken was served, no sauces available. Corn and bread were good. Dessert, some cold hard filled donut, did not taste good. Coffee with no liquid creamers available. Overall not satisfied with the food qualit. I recommend just sticking to standard seating and dont do all the upgrades it isnt worth it. You can get through the hall within 15 to 20 mins. No need to come extra early if your seating is already prearranged. Actors and waiters amazing! Great show! Hopefully they improve food inthe future.
This was a lovely experience and I really encourage everyone who can afford it to buy the best of the best ticket option. Their gift shop stuff is pretty reasonable also. It was a ton of fun even if our knight lost. Our allied night one though and it was pretty epic.
The show was really good - our 10 and 7 yo kids ate it up!! Very fun. The facility itself is well kept (if smelling like stale equine urine) but obviously quite old. As a whole, it seemed pretty understaffed. For example, we were surprised to find our server all of a sudden out on the arena floor in a flag parade…then sweat-brow-beaded back up rushing Texas toast from place to place. He wore the same clear vinyl gloves in both locations — we just hoped that he changed them in between activities !?!? 😳😳😳😳 (minus one star for that; kudos to the server for working hard; shame on management for not organizing better)Anyways, the show was good, fun, playful, elaborate, and diverse. The horses appeared well kept and trained. One person told us the facility keeps some 300 males at a ranch in the area?!Food was pretty poor honestly. The purée soup appetizer was pink in color, and once emesis came to mind, I couldn’t drink another sip without tasting it too 🤢. Chicken was lacking salt and care in preparation - breast portion was dry and thigh was red around the bone. Dessert was mass-packaged ice cream cups with a wood spoon. Coffee included powder creamer. It was very clear that every corner was cut when it came to the meal - no pride was taken in preparation or service. Honestly, I’d be embarrassed to serve anything resembling it in my home - to my own family, let alone to guests!I’m leaving M.T. With three stars because of the quality of the show. I highly doubt we’ll ever be back.
Awesome night out. Highly recommended 👌
Had a blast rooting for our knight while grubbing on a giant utensil-less meal. Super fun for children and adults. Will be back again
A place to get out of your routine, definitely a good show, the actors in their roles, their costumes very nice, the horses very beautiful and well trained, only the food not so good but edible
This entire experience was breathtaking. I loved every second of it and cant wait to return in the near future. The show was outstanding, and the food was delicious! The staff that served us were awesome and had their own creative ways of describing the food in medieval terms, which was hilarious! I would highly recommend going here at least once in your life.
6/28/22 Tuesday 5pm show. Very good food n show was quite interesting one time watch. Good experience n had a great time.
We had so much fun here. The food was good (so much chicken!) and the entertainment was fun. It also works out our knight won! Eating without silverware was a new experience, but the meals are planned to make it not so hard. Only part I didn’t enjoy was the dessert. Eclairs aren’t my favorite. The horses are stunning. Parts of the show were a bit cheesy but I didn’t expect anything different. My husband got knighted here and that was fun too. He only wishes he was kneeling for the picture instead of sitting in a chair. It’s definitely very kid friendly.
The knights were amazing. The staff were amazing. Food was mediocre. The only thing I have to say is THESE SHOW HORSES ARE BEING ABUSED. Ive grown up with horses and so has my mother, and grandmother who all went to the show. These horses were stuck in a standing position before show time with reigns attached to both sides of their mouths. These poor animals COULDNT EVEN TURN THEIR HEADS. At show time, all of these poor animals were foaming at the mouth and drooling ferociously. The staff had whips and would whip the horses hard if they didnt perform correctly. This place needs to be shut down.
I enjoyed the place and atmosphere. We cheered for the blue knight and he won. The place is clean and well kept. The show was good. My only complaint was that my chicken had no flavor.
First time coming and Medivel times was great, good food, great show and great fans but the only thing I dont like is the protests outside and their talking about how they are abusing horses and stuff also they are on strike
Ive been here plenty of times, and I can honestly say it is more fun when hanging out with the right people. After seeing the show 5 times in my life, it does get a bit boring. However, when going with the right crew, youll have fun regardless.
If you are into all things medieval or if you just like dinner shows with horses youll love this place. Its kind of expensive but once you see how much effort goes into making this show happen youll see that its actually a great deal. The food is pretty good considering the volume that they make and serve all at the exact same time. Take you kids, theyll love it!
Ive been coming here every couple of years since I was a kid and I think I liked it when I was younger but I havent been thrilled with my experiences as an adult.I just saw the show and ate dinner here the other night and I think this was my worst experience.As other recent reviews have pointed out, many of the employees are on strike right now, which my family and I did not know prior to purchasing our tickets. We opted to see the show anyway because half of our family is from out of town and the kids we were bringing had all been really looking forward to this as they really love horses.All of the employees that were working that we talked to were very engaging and nice. We got there early to see the horses and take pictures. The kids got a few pictures taken with the queen and in front of our Knights banner.There is a large gift shop but there were no listed prices on the couple of items I was looking at. We didnt end up purchasing anything.I did buy a souvenir cup for alcoholic drinks. It was expensive, probably too much so, but there is a decent discount on any more alcoholic drinks, so I guess its worth it? The drinks were tasty, especially the frozen ones.We were seated in the front row, which was awesome. The theater is FREEZING, just a heads up, definitely wear a sweater or jacket.The food was really not good. None of the adults finished their meals and none of the kids touched any of it. The tomato soup and garlic bread was the best part, but the garlic bread was brought out 10-15 mins after the soup was served so the soup was cold because I opted to wait to drink it while eating the bread. The corn on the cob was so incredibly mushy and overcooked. The chicken was dry. The potatoes were decent, they did taste good, but were a little overcooked.Its difficult to hear the queen and king talking. Some of the stunt-work was not as good as I remember it being in the past. The show itself is fine. The kids enjoyed themselves, but the adults, not so much. Not worth the price imo.
This was an amazing experience for our first time. Our waiter names Matt was amazing. He was entertaining, nice and amazing. The show was great. Our kids absolutely loved it. So worth it coming from Colorado.
Great entertainment and great value. Food and service were excellent, venue was extremely clean and well maintained. You can tell the owners really care about this place. Show was very entertaining. Queens package was worth every penny. Highly recommend.
Everything was absolutely amazing the entertainment was good the chicken was yummy me and my daughter loved it
Loved it havent been in quite a while, I remember they use to serve a glass of free wine with your meals. No wine but they have a couple of bars open which of course you have to pay the show was great I think it really depends on who you take as your guest food was delicious
If youre with your family and youre anywhere near one of the multiple locations that has medieval times definitely go. buy the tickets in advance. We went to California for Knotts Berry farm and bought tickets for this and this is the funnest part of the trip by far for everybody
Medieval Times never disappoints! Ive gone to this location a few times, once when I was a kid and a few times as an adult. Its always a fun time for everyone! My last visit was yesterday and I brought my six year old son to see how hed like the dinner show. Im happy to say he was excited and had a great experience.Parking is free so thats a plus. I know the Pirates dinner show next to Medieval times charges for their parking so its a nice relief to not have an added charge for the experience. Tickets cost $50/adult and $30/child. Not too bad. They do have more expensive packages if you are looking for a VIP experience.The host at the front checks parties in by their last name so it makes the process much quicker than having to scan tickets, which I was prepared to do. Once we got inside the front hall and got our team color crowns (we were green team) we were welcomed to walk around the outdoor garden area and the main hall while waiting for our show time to start.They do recommend for parties to arrive an hour prior to show time to allow enough time to get checked in and walk around the main hall a bit. They offer beverages for purchase, theres a good variety of frozen slushes and also alcoholic drinks too. My family and I got 2 slushes - total cost $17 for both drinks. They offer for an upgraded cup if you wish to purchase those but we already had some from a previous visit so we opted out. Theres also a bunch of medieval themed toys available for purchase. My son wanted the green team wooden sword and shield. Just be careful when playing with these, my sons sword broke in half rather easily - good thing is they were more than willing to trade us a new one since they said it happens often.The show was amazing! The crowds really get into it - cheering for their knight as they put on a fun show for everyone. The horses are just gorgeous and well trained. They know alot of cool tricks too. Overall Id definitely give 5 stars alone just for the show. The food isnt too bad. My son only wanted to eat the corn on the cob and the slice of garlic bread they served. I actually liked the soup they served but like my son, I didnt really eat too much of the meal. I dont think too many kids have the appetite to eat a literal half of a chicken. But maybe some do.At the end of the show I asked my son if he liked Medieval times or the Pirates show (hes been a few times and loved it!) better and honestly he said he liked Medieval! Definitely will be back in the future! I definitely recommend.
The protesters outside were a bit concern. My party of 2 spent over $200 alone. How could the staff be overworked and moreso under paid. With all the money streaming in every show the staff should be very well taken care off. I hope there are numerous horses. They get worked during that performance. The drool was concerning. Some of the main performers seem very uninterested. Left me to wonder if their main staff were outside and we watched the second string? They had side conversations throughout the show. Stepped out of character a few times.
No its not fine dining, but its sufficient, and no one got food poisoning, which had been mentioned in previous reviews. The food was somewhat bland but if we are basing it off of historical medevil dining- I imagine this is spot on. Either way, palatable for the whole family including the small ones who seemed ravenous to eat everything served.The service was excellent, we sat in the very back which was not the high dollar tickets- but received excellent service regardless. If these workers were on strike, they held excellent composure and dedication to providing an interactive and enjoyable atmosphere. Our waiter took great care in getting the kids hyped up for the show and the atmosphere. I dont even know how to dismiss the people who have left poor reviews, perhaps they were expecting braodway and 5 star cuisine? As for our family it was beyond sufficient and really a bargain for tickets ($) knowing how much it costs to maintain such a show, the animals, the costumes, stadium, and production.
Amazing show. My family love it so much. But please come on an empty stomach. The food is very filling! Everyone gets the same meal with no eating utensils. You eat with your bare hands. It was such a cool experience. The horses were beautiful and they bow! I couldnt get enough of them bowing. The sword fighting is at the end of the show, btw.
Food is not the best, but the experience and value is worth 5 stars!
Had a great time and a great mealCame in with my whole family ( almost ) for my moms B-day Showed up early ( as recommended ) the line moves fast too get in They separate everybody into eight different groups by color of crown ( was Seated in the red section. Red knight won ) all of the food was pretty good. Chicken was nice and juicy garlic bread was good baked potato was good the tomato soup I didn’t eat it but I did dip my toast in it and it had a good flavor corn on the cob was good. Soda was a little flat. Didn’t really care for the ice cream 🍨. The coffee was ok and my $27 Beer was extra cold and amazing. Prices were pretty outrageous ( nothing under $20bucks ) so be prepared to spend a lot of money 💰 💰 💰 Would definitely come back
Food is alright, but lets be honest, were here to see the knights battle. I went for my first time for my nieces 3rd birthday & i think i had more fun than she did 😅. Highly recommend! Hope they find a way to pay their knights better...
One of the best entertainment places Ive been! Great place for birthday parties and more. Highly recommend for families, kids and couples.
Great show! Fun for the whole family. No silverware? My kids dont use that anyway! Great place for a birthday party. Celebration packages are reasonably priced. A little late starting when we went, but all in all we had a great time.
I will preface this with do not come here for the food. 😅 Come here for the show. Do you love horses? Please enjoy the impressive dressage. Do you like jousting, medieval-style duels, and various other games? Then this is a place to come watch.Be aware that if you order a smoothie, you will be given a paper straw. They are pretty useless and disolve before you put a dent in the smoothie. While I appreciate the eco-friendly-ish straw, there are other options (fiber straws, agave straws, etc) that would be appreciated more by customers.
Absolutely love it here!!! The customer service, the staff and being in character at all times was beyond awesome!!! Totally recommend a visit here. The meal is to die for so filling and tasteful. The performance by all the employees is top notch. I didn’t know what to except coming here. I knew it would be fun, I knew it would be a great time. But both of those became to be understatements!!! This place, food, performance and staff are just amazing! The family pictures out can take walking in is a great way to savor the moment of your family being here at this amazing place.
Best experience ever! didnt know what was happening it was really cool definitely going back and favorite place to eat now
Great place to visit. We have been there several times. We have been going to watch the shows since 2010. BBQ ribs are gone from the menu and the apple pie they used to serve for dessert. The show still entertaining to watch.
Definitely worth seeing! Amazing performance and great food. Took children 6 yrs and under and it was a little long for them and the lack of utensils posed some issues with eating the hot chicken but otherwise an fantastic show 😊

2023-11-25 07:56:31First time seeing the Medieval Times and it did not disappoint. I came here for the experience so I didn’t really expect much for the food. The food was filling. Soup was cold, Chicken didn’t have any flavor but huge, corn tasted good and dessert was great. Your meal comes with fountain drinks or water. They also sell other drinks. The drinks were good but a little pricey. The show itself was entertaining. Family friendly. Kid friendly. It was a bit too scripted but overall, a great experience. There were ample of free parking spots. They sell souvenirs and you also get to meet the cast and take photo ops after the show. I am aware about the strike and I hope they get to settle it. Also, it is unfortunate that the horses are tied up and crumpled up in a small space. Other than that, it was okay.

2023-12-09 05:59:43Very entertainment show, the food was very good as well and we did not even have to worry about ordering anything, they bring everything to you. Great service as they are super nice too. The lights and smoke really added a nice vibe, entertaining for all ages, young and old! Loved it with my family.

2023-10-24 07:36:01Amazing dinner show with fantastic serving staff, actors, trained animals, and atmosphere!My husband and I drove to California for our honeymoon, and this was a fun stop we wanted to try! You get assigned a color/knight, so whether you end up in the winning group or not is purely based on luck. Maybe youd be able to switch colors if you asked, but Im sure the staff has a planned seating arrangement ahead of time.We got the VIP package, so we also got photos taken at the front, which were delivered to us at our table around the end of dinner. We were given 2 copies and they were framed in a themed border, which was super cute and great for sentimentality!As far as the food goes, it was alright, a bit more on the plain side. But this isnt really the type or place you go to for fine dining, its really all about the show. But regarding the show- it was full of energy and so fun to watch/ participate in! Our Blue Knight was amazing (and also the winner of the evening) and engaged with the crowd both during the show and afterward to sign autographs.My only gripe is that some of the horse tricks seemed a little intense. As a huge animal lover, a couple of them turned me off a bit, but Im also not hugely educated on the matter to say any of them were wrong or harmful. Just thought it was worth mentioning if thats a big soft spot for you!All in all, its something youd go to experience once every few years for special events. Its definitely great for memory making and letting loose a little!

2023-12-03 21:32:24Plan to eat with your hands! In medieval times, they didnt have forks and steak knives. The food was pretty good! Roasted Dragon (tastes like half a chicken), corn on the cob and tasty roasted potato...no variations unless you let them know you dont eat meat or have allergies.Its a visually beautiful, authentic experience with a powerful queen and some gorgeous horsemanship. Turns grown men into 9 year boys. Very fun to experience. We upgraded to VIP and were glad we did for photo taking.

2023-11-12 18:10:10The show was great, it was all a great setup and I like how they interact with the crowd. All the servers were also dressed as pirates and they were very nice and helpful. The food wasnt the greatest, its nice that they have vegan and vegetarian options, but the veggies taste like the frozen kind you buy in a bag. Also, the onion rings tasted old/stale. The garlic fries were good. For the salad they have ranch or Italian dressings and the drinks are refilled throughout the show. Overall, it is a Pirate Dinner Adventure, they got the Pirate part down, the dinner could be a little better.

2023-10-20 00:31:59When I came, their employees were protesting in front of the entrance because the business mistreats the horses and their employees, I think. I cant say whats true but I do feel sad for the horses being locked up in cages. If I could go back, I wouldnt have watched the show.The show is sort of intertaining. Some of the actors were not really good. Im guessing they had to replace a couple if actors last minute because some of them were protesting. Its an interesting idea but I dont think its worth the price. Dinner was included but it wasnt good at all. Since the food wasnt good and the service was just okay, we didnt tip much. The server indirectly demanded more tip which I didnt like.

2023-10-31 06:34:33Either for a family, friends or a date. This place is pretty cool. I took me girlfriend then now wife on date. And not too long ago, it was just my daughter and myself. The entertainment is non stop and the food was simple, yet awesome. Staff was great as well. A must do, if in the area.

2023-07-09 21:15:34The show was really fun and exciting to watch and we got to cheer our knight. Our group was the yellow group and it looked best and gentle to the eye; thanks God that we were not in the red light.Luckily, our knight was the best one; he was acting very well, charming and frequently interacting with his audience group. I felt like we were in the ancient movies.The server was attentive and nice (and youre gonna be expected to tip quite generous for this service)Food was a lot but so bad to our taste, it was below average in our opinions. We had plenty of leftovers. Our server gave us two big boxes for to go but we did not bring home any cause we had no appetite to eat it again. However, we liked the lemonade juice, it tasted refreshed and tasty.I like how they decorated their building and looking at my posted pictures and videos here you can tell the ambiance looks really beautiful and cool.Parking was plentiful.Something we noticed at the entrance was the strike. The previous actors there were on strikes trying to tell other people that their ex-employer abused them and all the horses. Not sure if its true or not but we could see how sad and depressed the horses looked. We enjoyed the show but also felt bad afterwards.

2023-11-02 05:47:22Ive been here several times but this time was my coworkers bday so we all came. Had fun. Foods great, service is great, drinks are great. Only that is difficult is using the restroom. Everyone sitting next to you has to get up and move. That I disliked. I use the restroom frequently.
