Medieval Times-A Fun Experience

For those of you looking for something different to do while on vacation, consider an evening at Medieval Times. I took my children and extended family last week and everyone had a great experience. Using the bypass makes getting there much easier, but expect a drive time of about one hour. Also, expect to wait in line to pick up or purchase your tickets and have your group photo made. Although, I have to say we weren't in line more than 10 minutes.

Once inside, you will be pleasantly suprised at the spaciousness of the building. There are several different souvenirs to browse through, or you can make your way to the bar and grab a pre-event drink served in of course, a souvenir cup.

When the staff is ready to begin seating, you will want to look on your ticket stub and know which section you will be dining in. We were in the Green section and while I won't give too much away, this is definately the most entertaining section to sit in. Our "wench" served us a "Royal Feast" that consisted of a Tomato Bisque, Baked Chicken(very large portion), Pork ribs, Garlic Bread, Baked potato, and Dessert. They do provide a vegetarian option upon request. I have to say the food was great, just remember to bring your plastic ware if you don't want to eat the entire meal with your fingers.

The coolest thing about this show is that real swords are used and you can see the sparks fly when the knights are in action. There is jousting as well as other competitions that add a little more interest to the somewhat expected plot of good kinght vs. bad knight. The lighting can become dark at times so you may want to remember this if you are planning to bring small children.
