Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament

Fantastic This was a fantastic show. We went as a family of five with our three children ages 11,10,and 8. The dinner was very delicious and better then I thought it was going to be. Was nervous because we went very hunger. I would recommend anyone going to see the show, it’s worth the money.

Fun family visit Typical midieval show . The English accents made the dialogue hard to understand. Food was standard Overall a nice family experience.

Excellent food! Great fun for the kids!

Great place to go with the kids, chicken was great. Good service. Good looking actors. Fun,fun,fun.

First time here and we had a blast! I have always wanted to visit here and when a friend said she wanted to hold her 37th birthday party here, I was all in. We are goofy geeks and love Renaissance Faires, so we are bit biased about the awesomeness of jousting. Traffic was bad so we arrived right at 4pm and didn't have time to do anything but be seated. Please note that you have to enter through the mall! The best entrance for that is between the Burlington Coat Factory and Off Broadway shoes. We were in the blue section with our group of about 14 spread out in a long line on the 4th tier. The food was pretty good and was served gradually throughout the show. I enjoyed the caramel ice cream most of all. They gave out hot hand/face wipes after the main course, which was nice since you have to eat with your hands. Occasionally the waiters would block your view of the show, but they were pretty good about staying moving. They had a variety of alcoholic drinks in souvenir mugs and glasses you could keep (additional purchases) - one of them was even a drinking horn with stand! They showed off a variety of fancy horse steps and a brief falconry demo. Then some jousting contests involving spearing rings and hitting targets with javelins. There was a simple plot led by the queen and her lords. It was not too cold (as I had been warned about) We didn't have much elbow room at the long tables - larger folks might have issues. The knights were well trained and we all enjoyed the fighting choreography. They lowered a net when the tilting started to protect the crowd from flying javelin bits. Photos were allowed. Afterwards we walked through their short but interesting torture museum, looked at their shop items, and took a group photo with the birthday girl. She got a knighting ceremony by the queen, and a light up epee sword. I wore my paper crown around for the rest of the day, despite the fact that our knight lost really badly. We really enjoyed the entire experience. Even the people on the phone taking your ticket orders call you lord or lady. :)

Pleasantly Surprised Medieval-themed entertainment and dinner theaters are not usually on my must-do list, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by our visit to Medieval Times in Arundel Mills. And I found myself thinking "Wow, it's fun to be called M'lady" and "I wonder if the knights have horse-people groupies that wait for them outside the stable after the show?"... ha! Initially I'd been concerned about redeeming the four passes, which were won in a raffle a number of years ago (maybe 5?), but there were no issues whatsoever. The rep over then phone was super helpful, he provided excellent customer service, and our reservation was easily made a month in advance. We had discovered our friends, who have horses and ride, are big fans of MT. So we invited them to go with us. When we got to MT, our friends insisted on buying the VIP upgrades. This was nice of them but honestly I felt like it wasn't necessary: the seating is only about 4 rows high and the arena is not super large, so there are good seats all-around. We also got VIP badges and laniards, flags to wave from the 2nd row (out of 4, remember). Nothing super impressive. What is impressive are the horses and especially the dressage, with one female rider who was there that night-- she was terrific. She has auburn hair and she's very skilled with her horse. That's the bottom line, the andalusian horses are really amazing. The food is very basic but delicious, the night we were there our chicken was juicy and our cups only ran dry briefly (there are only two times they pour per show, if I remember correctly). Our server was timely and personable. I'm getting a laugh out of seeing many remarks re: eating with your hands. I mean, after all, we're talking about roasted chicken with the skin on, corn on the cob, and larger potato wedges. This is basically the type of food that many people would typically pick up and eat with their hands. Lick your fingers too, don't worry about extra napkins lol. I think if the day ever comes when MT serves a green leafy salad and tells everybody to eat that with their hands, we should make a point to share that info far and wide!! The facility is very clean, with terrific visitor operations and staff, all the way across the board: from the reservations staff, to the ticket takers, the photographer, the retail people and the servers... not to mention the actors, riders and the lovely horses! The tournament was fun to watch, the guys with their costumes, and the ones with the flowing hair versus the ones with shorter hair-- they were all great! I appreciate the diversity of the actors-- that was good to see. The storyline itself was fair, but I think the show was entertaining overall. We all very much enjoyed ourselves. By the way, the teenagers had a great time-- my son and his friend (she is an accomplished rider) said they would like to go back again. I do wish there was a way to find out who these performers are, I'd like to see a short bio re: each performer on MT's website. That would be great. They should get some recognition and I'm very curious as to who exactly they are!

It’s safe to say this kid had fun tonight! Thank you so much for an amazing experience for our whole family. The food was delicious and the vegetarian option was one of the best around! Thank you so much.

First time visit! Don't feel the need to pay extra for VIP status! We bought general admission tickets and two banners for our kids. There isn't a bad seat in the house! Views are great from all angles. Norman the Singing Serf is great. Please be prepared to tip him. The show is a bit loud and hard to understand at times, but the horses, the costumes and the joust are worth a visit. The food is average. Be ready to eat with your hands...bring extra hand wipes.
