Truly Old-Fashioned Dinner Theater

Return to the days of yore when chivalry reigned and knights roamed the earth! Too much? Well, go visit Medieval Times and you'll get a good dose of over-the-top entertainment. It's the kind of place that seems to take itself seriously, but you can't if you want to have a great time.

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 

Ok, this was the totally weird part when we went to the show ages ago. The food was good and all, but ... there's no silverware. Wasn't any back in medieval times, right? So come ready to eat with your fingers or sneak in a plastic set with you.

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.

About the Horses 

Nearly all of the horses used in the shows are raised from birth at the Chapel Creek Ranch in Sanger, Texas. Along with Quarter Horses, Friesians, and Menorcans, the company also raises purebred Spanish Andalusians, a gorgeous breed prized by Medieval royalty for its astonishing strength, agility, and even temperament.

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.

I went in Myrtle Beach, SC. Lots of fun, but a little intense for really young children.

We have one here in Southern California (Buena Park) but I haven't been yet. When my boys get just a little bit older I will definitely take them. Will be back to refer to your exhaustive info here.
