Truly Old-Fashioned Dinner Theater
That said, there's much to enjoy and be amazed by - the choreography of the fights, the skill of the horses. It's a great night out with the family (particularly if you have knights and princesses of your own) or with a group of rowdy friends.
Eating at the Times
Guests feast on garlic bread, tomato bisque soup, roasted chicken, spare rib, herb-basted potatoes, pastry of the Castle, coffee and two rounds of select beverages. A full-service bar is also available for adult guests. Vegetarian meals are available upon request. Vegetarian meal includes tomato bisque soup, garlic bread, large portobello mushroom cap stuffed with whole grain, rice and bean blend, large skewer of roasted vegetables, hummus with pita chips, pastry of the castle and two rounds of select beverages.
The castle sets the tone before you even go inside.

About the Horses
Training begins early. As weanlings, the horses are introduced to lead ropes and halters, followed by saddles at age two. Long reigns and simple exercises like lunging follow. At age three, the horses go to their new homes at one of MT's North American castles, where they learn advanced-level dressage from a master horse trainer. Then life as a pampered performer begins. After several years in the spotlight, the magnificent steeds retire to live out their lives in comfort and serenity at Chapel Creek Ranch.
