We LOVE Medieval Times. Yes, this latest family trip to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament was complimentary, but our enthusiasm for the awesomeness of Medieval Times is 100% authentic.
I’ll apologize upfront for the ridiculous amount of pictures from this latest trip. I swear I deleted dozens of decent pictures before choosing the photos I wanted to feature here.
Before I get started on our amazing experience, I wanted to give a shout out to all of my Washington DC-area readers and friends. I know I’ve heard from a lot of you after posting Instagram pictures from the tournament that you’ve always wanted to bring your family…well I’ve got the perfect chance. During Spring Break next month, you can get Buy-One-Get-One-Free tickets. See the Medieval Times BOGO special below:

Ok, now back to our exciting time with knights and princesses, horses and hawks…
Our seats for this show were incredible – second row, center section (we had the Royalty Package, which included VIP seating, flags to wave, a commemorative program, and a “behind-the-scenes” DVD). We were SO close to all of the knights and the horses…it was incredible!
This was our third time experiencing Medieval Times as a family, and we still secretly rooted for our first knight (the one in yellow). We were also pretty fond of “our” knight for the knight – the Black and White knight!
One of the things that struck me this time was the fact that the program and script are different every time we go. Sure, there’s a lot that’s very similar, but they keep it fresh. I love that. The King’s Chancellor was quite funny this time around.
As always, the food was incredible. The lights came on long enough for me to snap a quick picture of my chicken (before the potatoes and ribs were delivered). My favorite part of the meal, though, is the delicious tomato soup (see that empty bowl?).
Everything is eaten with your hands. No utensils (kinda fun for the kids!).
One of the highlights of the night was when our knight threw a flower straight to Reese. She caught it and beamed for the rest of the night!
As always, the pageantry and the games were thoroughly entertaining. We cheered a LOT!
In the end, it wasn’t our black and white knight, but our “first” favorite knight, the yellow knight, who won the tournament. We cheered pretty loudly for him!
When the show was over, we were just starting! We set out to meet all of the knights and royalty and the kids had everyone sign their programs and flags.
The knights are all such good sports!
We told our yellow knight that we always rooted for him, no matter what section we were sitting in. He gave us one of his amazing smiles.
We can’t wait to go back again!

It looks like a fun time was had by all! When my son was young we would go there every year when we visited Myrtle Beach. It really is a blast!
That’s funny, because this was a new king for us. The king at the last 2 shows was a much older guy. ;) There’s a picture of the regular guy here: https://foodfunfamily.com/2013/06/medieval-times.html
my kids love MT too!! That king looks like our king?? So weird?!
That looks like something my kids would love! I wish we get those kinds of events/shows here.
We’ve yet to do it, tho I think the boys would love it!
