We went to this on our last night in the USA. We had our two daughters aged six and eight and we all had a great time. It was made extra special by the fact that one daughter was given a rose by our knight and the other was awarded the "Queen of the tournament: sash by him so that... More

Very fun show, especially for kids who are into the Medieval era, horses, castles and magicians. The show is semi-interactive where you sit in a section that corresponds to one of the knights in the show. When your knight enters the arena, fights or otherwise does something cool, the crowd in your section gets all rowdy and cheers. The show... More

I have been to a few different Medieval Times Castles and this one is by far one of the best. You definitely get a value for your dollar. The food is good and the show was fantastic. They have updated the show so if you haven't been in a few years go back and check it out. After the show... More

I took my two young adult daughters to this for a fun evening and I don't regret going. It was Mother's Day so my ticket was free. I think if you look on the web you can find a 30% discount on a regular basis. The idea is great. My girls really like Renaissance Fairs so I thought this would... More

We took our three grandkids to Medieval Times, ages 5, 9 and 13 for a birthday celebration and they loved the experience! They loved routing for their assigned knight and the battle scenes, sword fights and all were really spectacular.Set parameters on buying souvenirs ahead of time because there are lots of items that kids will want you to buy...

We went with our school on a field trip along with many other schools throughout LA and SD area. This was our first visit here and didn't know what to expect. Once we were given cards to our assigned table, and were let in to the shops/gigantic lobby area, we were sort of lost not knowing if we should roam... More

This was once one of my favorite things to do. There is nothing more theraputic than requesting the green section and cheering for the "bad knight." But the new show no longer offers that option. There is now a common bad guy that all the knights battle. Its still a great show, but for me, the thrill is gone. The... More

This was our second time going to a Medieval Times show. We took our son for the first time this time and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The show had changed since the last time we saw it so it kept us interested. The food was great. The chicken was nice and tender and moist and the vegetables were hot... More

The place smells a little weird, but I had a great time. You get a pretty sizeable dinner, and not bad food for the price and it being served in near darkness. The normal dinner is a giant half chicken and potatoes. The vegetarian option is a stuffed portobello mushroom and wild rice pilaf. The staff is all pleasant. You... More

My husband and I went to the Tournament of Kings in Vegas and had a good time so when we took our son to Disneyland we knew we had to take him to Medieval Times. The food was better at Medieval Times than at Tournament of Kings. The service was excellent at both places. Our son loved cheering for his... More
