I booked general admission tickets for a party of 12 for my kid's 18th birthday. Always wanted to go & check it out. It... was a good experience. The food was decent, you get a soup and bread ( which our bread came out about 45 minutes after the soup ) you get the main meal ( we got chicken, a potato and corn ) which was good! Especially the potato! Drinks which one of my kids didn't gets hers for a good 45 minutes. Coffee and dessert. Which was also good. The server we had was very slow or maybe just overly busy but our food came out slow. We were given a piece at a time and it would take 15 to 20 minutes just to get the next piece...I prefer to eat my food all together. As expected the extras are pricey. No matter where you sit you have a great view. The show was awesome and horses are beautiful. All in all, I would probably return.read more

Shared a table with 12 other family members and friends to celebrate our granddaughter's 8th birthday. Had so much fun... cheering for our knight in shining armor! The food was delicious 😋, the service was great, and they took care of my gluten-free needs. Great fun for all ages!read more

I thought this was a FANTASTIC show!!! I really loved how they interacted with the crowd and how the moment you enter... MT, they would immerse you from that era! I thought everyone was great and treated us well!There are lots of souvenirs to choose from and at the end of the show, the cast will come out for a photo shoot! I would watch this a second time!*An important note that the price you pay to enter does NOT include gratuity. And from what my family has experienced, the servers worked very hard! So please don't forget to show your appreciation which can either be done by cash or through Venmo, which the server will provide at the end.Thank you MT for making it so much enjoyable for my family!read more

My friend has always wanted to come here. We came for her birthday and we were a group of 13. They are very... accommodating. They have vegetarian and vegan options available. They also take allergies into account when asking about dinner options. The show was entertaining, the dinner consists of a tomato bisque, garlic bread, a generous portion of chicken, herb potato, corn, an eclair and vanilla cake with chocolate frosting. They had Pepsi and diet Pepsi as options to drink along with lemonade and water. I got full, so they offered me a to go box to take the rest of my meal home. Had lots of fun. My friend wad knighted for her birthday. Will come back!read more

We had an amazing time!!! The customer service was great, all the people were polite and very welcoming. The food was... EXCELLENT, well cooked and flavorful, I enjoyed every bite of it. As well, our waiter Ashley was very sweet, and she was always checking on us, we really felt like royalty! The atmosphere was really nice, also. Great show, performance, the actors were engaging and very professional. This was an amazing experience and we will definitely go back to Medieval Times! ❤️read more

This is a fantastic place that takes place in a fantasy setting.The actors and their choreography are spot on. They... immerse you into medieval times and transport you to an awesome display of horsemanship, weapon fighting, falconry, jousting, hand-to-hand fighting, pageantry, and royal court!I completely and whole heartedly recommend this wonderful place of entertainment, food, and so much fun.I have loved DnD since I was a young boy. This place was exactly as I imagined. Actually, it was far superior to what I thought this place could achieve.My only regret is that I did not come here a lot sooner.I and my friends will be coming here again, most definitely!read more

Came here to celebrate kids bdays. They had a blast. Our waitress role played with them and they believed they were... eating baby dragons. Adults loved the horses. The place was surprisingly clean and not dusty. I expected to smell the animals but it was very minimal. We will definitely bring the kids back. Only complaint was the bathroom. They smelled strong of urine and there only seemed to be one.read more

Great place for the family. Fun filled, action packed experience. Great example of dinner and a show. Food was really... good, really not much of a selection, what they serve is really the only thing you get. But it's a lot of fun for everyone. Customer service is good, everything is served in portions so that's really the only time you see your server, but they do try to be as attentive as possible. I would recommend this for a family dinner and a show.read more

This was such a great experience. My daughter’s currently here from college so a trip here was definitely worth it. The... food is not the greatest and I did get sick from it. You have a vegetarian option but it’s not the best option. I wish the food quality was better since the show is a bit pricey. Overall it was a great experience.read more

A super fun dinner experience with excellent quality entertainment and effects. Great staff and audience participation... opportunities. Good action in the entertainment. The food was good enough and fun to eat with your hands. It’s very immersive and gets you into character. I was impressed the tomato soup came out piping hot in a medieval looking thermos and the flavour was great. The roast chicken was just average and the white meat was very dry and stringy but still edible. The potato was also dry. The corn on the cob was good and had lots of corn flavour. The chocolate eclair and coffee at the end was also nice. Everything was good but I would say that the horses look sad in the stable and I am unsure if they get to go run around in green pastures once in a while because I didn’t see a green field outside and I don’t know if they get taken to run around somewhere else on occasion. Otherwise, I would still recommend this experience as it’s done very well.read more

Plan to eat with your hands! In medieval times, they didn't have forks and steak knives. The food was pretty good!... Roasted Dragon (tastes like half a chicken), corn on the cob and tasty roasted potato...no variations unless you let them know you don't eat meat or have allergies.It's a visually beautiful, authentic experience with a powerful queen and some gorgeous horsemanship. Turns grown men into 9 year boys. Very fun to experience. We upgraded to VIP and were glad we did for photo taking.read more

First time seeing the Medieval Times and it did not disappoint. I came here for the experience so I didn’t really... expect much for the food. The food was filling. Soup was cold, Chicken didn’t have any flavor but huge, corn tasted good and dessert was great. Your meal comes with fountain drinks or water. They also sell other drinks. The drinks were good but a little pricey. The show itself was entertaining. Family friendly. Kid friendly. It was a bit too scripted but overall, a great experience. There were ample of free parking spots. They sell souvenirs and you also get to meet the cast and take photo ops after the show. I am aware about the strike and I hope they get to settle it. Also, it is unfortunate that the horses are tied up and crumpled up in a small space. Other than that, it was okay.read more

The show was great, it was all a great setup and I like how they interact with the crowd. All the servers were also... dressed as pirates and they were very nice and helpful. The food wasn't the greatest, it's nice that they have vegan and vegetarian options, but the veggies taste like the frozen kind you buy in a bag. Also, the onion rings tasted old/stale. The garlic fries were good. For the salad they have ranch or Italian dressings and the drinks are refilled throughout the show. Overall, it is a Pirate Dinner Adventure, they got the Pirate part down, the dinner could be a little better.read more

Amazing dinner show with fantastic serving staff, actors, trained animals, and atmosphere!My husband and I drove to... California for our honeymoon, and this was a fun stop we wanted to try! You get assigned a color/knight, so whether you end up in the winning group or not is purely based on luck. Maybe you'd be able to switch colors if you asked, but I'm sure the staff has a planned seating arrangement ahead of time.We got the VIP package, so we also got photos taken at the front, which were delivered to us at our table around the end of dinner. We were given 2 copies and they were framed in a themed border, which was super cute and great for sentimentality!As far as the food goes, it was alright, a bit more on the plain side. But this isn't really the type or place you go to for fine dining, it's really all about the show. But regarding the show- it was full of energy and so fun to watch/ participate in! Our Blue Knight was amazing (and also the winner of the evening) and engaged with the crowd both during the show and afterward to sign autographs.My only gripe is that some of the horse tricks seemed a little 'intense'. As a huge animal lover, a couple of them turned me off a bit, but I'm also not hugely educated on the matter to say any of them were wrong or harmful. Just thought it was worth mentioning if that's a big soft spot for you!All in all, it's something you'd go to experience once every few years for special events. It's definitely great for memory making and letting loose a little!read more

When I came, their employees were protesting in front of the entrance because the business mistreats the horses and... their employees, I think. I can't say what's true but I do feel sad for the horses being locked up in cages. If I could go back, I wouldn't have watched the show.The show is sort of intertaining. Some of the actors were not really good. I'm guessing they had to replace a couple if actors last minute because some of them were protesting. It's an interesting idea but I don't think it's worth the price. Dinner was included but it wasn't good at all. Since the food wasn't good and the service was just okay, we didn't tip much. The server indirectly demanded more tip which I didn't like.read more

Came here for the second time, separated about about 25 years. To see this as an adult was a lot of fun, if you are the... kind of person that is going to get into it and play along, then you will really enjoy yourself.Only disappointing thing was the food, it was pretty bad. They serve food in such a weird way, one item at a time. First comes the soup, then 10 minutes later came bread, then about 5 minutes late came chicken. Then another 5 or so minutes and one potato came, then another 5 minutes and the corn came. It wasn't quick, it was hot, it wasn't tasty. Most of the items were over cooked. The soup was the best thing provided in the evening.Now, ofcourse you probably aren't coming here for the food, but the whole dining service was pretty bad. Our beers took about 30 minutes to show up, show was almost over.Show was fun and overall I'm happy we went, just don't expect the food to be a selling point on the whole experience.read more

So fun! We decided to get tickets and go on a whim while we were visiting California for theme park fun. And we were so... impressed! The entire atmosphere from the moment you enter is so quirky and fun. On the tickets, they tell you to arrive an hour early, and that's really just to enjoy the 'castle lobby' before they open the dining/arena area ... which, if you don't want to spend any money, then DONT go early. LOL. There are a bunch of trinkets for purchase from magnets, flags, pins, etc. And then SO MANY swords & wands are ALL the glowing/light up things. The bar can be pricey, but they have yummy drinks (including virgin slushies for the kiddos) and fun collectible take-home cups. The show was really great - actors & animals were fantastic - and our server was fabulous. The food is pretty good for the large quantities they make. It's worth it to get the package that includes a picture, cake, and a flag because you get better seats, and the picture is a fun keepsake item. ONE NOTE: Bring a sweater or blanket if you get cold easily because the temperature in the dining/arena area is kept very chilly.read more

What an exciting show. Four significant items that made my experience not so memorable.1. Food was not served as a... complete dish. The first round was tomato soup, which sat for a few minutes. Not knowing what to do, I drank most of it, and the bread came after. The chicken was served with no sides, just plain Chicken. 5-10 minutes later came the corn and potato. What a disappointment.2. Forced to purchase. The family photos were pushed to the guests during the show. The associate came to our row during the show and interrupted the experience and meal.3. WOKE! 1 out of the 6 knights were of a different race, which we commonly see in today's culture. And guess who won the challenge? It ruined my experience, which caused the #44. Forced to give gratuity. The server came up and said, "Cash or Card," like he was entitled to receive. I originally had my card in the receipt envelope to give gratuity, but once it became evident of the company's WOKE mindset, I removed my card and decided not to provide any gratuity in my frustration. I regret not giving gratuity now since it is not the associates' doing, and I apologize.Overall, I don't see myself supporting this company anymore because of the above, and I will share my experience with others.read more

Perfect place to bring family and enjoy a good show with delicious food! Family and I came to celebrate my dad for... Father’s Day. Greeted by friendly staff that provide you with your crown. Great places for pictures before walking into the show. Anywhere you sit you get a good view. We loved the experience and our color blue won, which made the experience 10x better! Definitely would return with a different group of people for the experience. The horses were beautiful and looked healthy. Highly recommend this place.read more

The show was really fun and exciting to watch and we got to cheer our knight. Our group was the yellow group and it... looked best and gentle to the eye; thanks God that we were not in the red light.Luckily, our knight was the best one; he was acting very well, charming and frequently interacting with his audience group. I felt like we were in the ancient movies.The server was attentive and nice (and you're gonna be expected to tip quite generous for this service)Food was a lot but so bad to our taste, it was below average in our opinions. We had plenty of leftovers. Our server gave us two big boxes for to go but we did not bring home any 'cause we had no appetite to eat it again. However, we liked the lemonade juice, it tasted refreshed and tasty.I like how they decorated their building and looking at my posted pictures and videos here you can tell the ambiance looks really beautiful and cool.Parking was plentiful.Something we noticed at the entrance was the strike. The previous actors there were on strikes trying to tell other people that their ex-employer abused them and all the horses. Not sure if it's true or not but we could see how sad and depressed the horses looked. We enjoyed the show but also felt bad afterwards.read more

My group and I sorta stumbled onto this place at the end of our vacation, and I'm glad we did!There is a fun... lobby/waiting area where you can get drinks (bought my souvenir horn there) with lots to look at. After that, they take and seat you into an arena and then treated to a myriad of entertainment including horse performances, jousting, sword fights and more 😁While this is all going on youre served a multi course meal, we had tomato soup and garlic bread, roast chicken with corn and potatos, and dessert plus coffee at the end. Everything tasted good, enhanced a fair bit because of the experience itself. They were also able to accommodate my gluten free group member 👍And the servers do an excellent job of taking care of you without interrupting the show, ours was fantastic.read more

I recently went to Medieval Times with a group of friends and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The show was... spectacular, full of action-packed jousts, sword fights, and amazing horsemanship. It was an incredible experience to see knights in full armor compete with each other on horses.The venue itself is also a great place to celebrate a birthday party. The atmosphere was festive and lively, with a great sense of camaraderie from all the guests. The staff were helpful and friendly, always making sure we had everything we needed.While the food was okay, it was still a fun experience to eat with our hands like they did in medieval times. We all enjoyed the chicken, potatoes, and soup.Overall, I would highly recommend a trip to Medieval Times for anyone looking for a great experience and an incredible show. It's perfect for birthday parties or any special occasion, and you're sure to have an unforgettable time.read more

I haven’t been to Medieval Times in years. Mateo our server was the cat’s pajamas! We had a hard time fitting in the... seats and felt like we were sitting on the floor. Mateo hooked us up with a table after we asked him and he got approval. We had the best service. The food was hot and chicken juicy, the potatoes a little under cooked and the corn was a little mushy. I thought the garlic bread and tomato soup paired nicely. Our dinner ended with pretty good black hot coffee and a ok chocolate eclair. The horses were absolutely amazing. The beauty and skill of those gorgeous horses could bring you to tears. The cast were great I lived the show and had a wonderful time. We were in the blue section and saddened our knight did not win. Ten out of ten would totally recommend and ask for Mateo.read more

For the performance, I give it a five, for the food a 4.5.The performance was amazing. Lots of interaction and sword... fights and audience participation. Definitely a lot of jokes given from the queen and her right hand man especially about the “oranges…who doesn’t bring oranges” had me laughing!The horses were beautiful and be sure at the end of the show you go to the right of the exit and you can look through protected class them. The knights do engage well with the audience, and the harder cheer the more your knight fights for you. Be prepared next day to be a little horse. No pun intended.As for the food, it was definitely an experience as you dive into the theme. The chicken was a bit dry, but the potatoes and corn were great. And the soup was a great starter; be sure to let it cool it comes out super hot. You do eat with your hands so be prepared, you can ask for a fork if you wish.I will definitely go back to Buena Park location, it’s definitely my first time going to this type of show and although it’s more focused towards the kids and family; it’s fun for all ages. Loved it!read more

First time visitors and we had a blast! We arrived ~1 hour before dinner and enjoyed drinks from the bar.... Unfortunately, we had to buy glassware to get a drink, and I wish we could have ordered a drink without buying a glass. The show lasted for 2 hours and all of the knights were impressive on horseback. It did not smell like we were in a horse arena, which was nice for eating. The food was okay (baked chicken, potato, corn). We are definitely planning a return trip.read more

Wonderful experience! The only thing not perfect about it was the sound system which made it challenging to hear and... understand the actors but this is an extraordinary dinner theater experience with beautiful horses who perform, a falconer sending their bird all around, jousting and swordplay as well as rivalry among each area represented by colors and a knight. This contest of champions was a lot like pro wrestling and was just as much fun. The food was better than I expected in terms of taste and quality and I can't imagine how many rotisserie chickens they produce every year! It must be a thousand a day but they keep the quality!read more

Medieval Times is always fun! What's more fun than dinner and a show?!I've been here more than I'd like to admit in... the last few years but it really is fun. Servers or wenches, if you will, are always so kind and on top of stuff. The regular menu is fine, but I highly recommend the vegetarian menu. It's really good!This place is probably best suited for people over the age of 3, I haven't seen any very young kids there, but with the noises and lights I don't think it'd be good for them. My niece and nephew (7 and 5) had a blast.Anyway, it's good for adults, kids, families, boys, girls, and whoever else likes to have a good time.read more

Second time here and I absolutely love the place! I go during summer camp field trips in a nearby city so the... experience is different than most. You have no food selection but just what they gave you which is some really really dry and unseasoned chicken that me and my family didn't much enjoy. Half of the baked potato was decent. Red apple had something off about it on the taste I can't describe. Garlic bread was sooo soft and good! Grandma's sealed cookie bags were great! And a regular water bottle. Entertainment was AMAZING!!! 10/10!!! Staff was really friendly & helpful 10/10!! Really just the food that we couldn't change. . . 2 of my family members starved the whole trip due to refusing to eat the food that was provided.read more

My right year old daughter was curious, at best - before attending. On the day of our reservation, sitting by the pool... I read many low star reviews and got concerned we had made a poor choice..... Not only did the entire family have an absolute amazing experience the food was fantastic if you have a reasonable expectation; remember they are serving a large crowd, so everyone will have their own preference for seasoning. Our entire meal was cooked appropriately and seasoned to accommodate that crowd.The only "negative" is that the desert options (our package came with two) were pretty basic/Costco quality but we were there for the show so that is totally fine.Positives included great service from Serf Aaron who brought us a sheet of foil for my daughter's leftovers when they ran out of boxes, Lord Marshal and the queen were very personable prior to the show, all staff was polite. In character and made sure my daughter was treated like royalty.Tips: Be early, be reasonable, don't be a jerk.No doubt we will be making detours to get back 3-4 more times this year. $200 for a night out with the family is well worth it.... Way cheaper than many other options in the area.Serf Aaron, you rock!read more

From the moment one arrives, you are welcomed with a smile. Everything was awesome! My family surprised me for father's... day with the Medieval Experience. The show was very entertaining. The food was delicious. Our server did an awesome job of taking care of us. Very friendly and helpful. Everything is well organized and care is taken to ensure guests are well taken care of. It had been at least 27 years since we had been back. I won't wait that long for next time.read more

A good place to spend an evening especially if you have kids. The entire experience from the moment you enter the area... while you wait to go into the arena until you leave after the show is over everyone is caricature. I recommend taking a sweater or light jacket when you go even if it is hot outside. The arena is kept very cool during the show. The food is good for for serving a large group but not something to rave about. You will enjoy your time if you get into cheering for your knight and they will respond to your enthusiasm the more noise you make. Medieval Times has kept the magic that Disney has lost. I recommend spending some time here going back to a simpler time.read more

Great dinner! The food was so good! You eat with your bare hands and it adds to the fun medieval experience. You can... let them know prior to the show about vegetarian options to get the soup (also yummy). I brought my lover here for his birthday and we both enjoyed it. It was pretty awesome our knight won the show too!read more

Every time we have come to Anaheim we have come to medieval times and every time it has been so much fun!! Watching the... beautiful animals and the environment of the show and battle. It is always so fun to cheer for your color knight and get into the show. The dinner is filling and fun to eat with your hands. My kids love it and it makes for such a great time filled with laughter and memories. Definitely recommend.read more

The show was amazing! It was so entertaining that time went by so fast. For supper, I got a cup of tomato soup, half a... chicken, half of a big potato, and bread, with a Pepsi. So make sure you are hungry before coming here. It is a different experience and you get to eat with your finger there are no forks, spoons etc... When we arrived there the lines were massive but they move very fast.read more

Amazing dinner and show! Everyone stays in character the whole time and really give you an experience of a lifetime!... The dinner is served while watching the show. They have a few accommodations for meals and seating. Before the show, you can walk around, buy stuff from their many counters of trinkets, Enjoy a beverage or two from the bars, see the horses, possibly meet the royal family! I know with Covid, things have changed a little, but they make the experience great any way.read more

This was a really fun experience that I would recommend to someone visiting the area. I went with my 9 year old son and... my roommate. We had a great time and I would recommend it.We arrived an hour before the show and walked around exploring everything. There are two bars in the lobby so it was easy to grab a beer and there were plenty of things to walk around and see.There are two large bars set up that sell souvenirs. Most of it is overpriced, but that's not really surprising. We purchased a couple of items and asked the staff to hold on to them until the show was over.The show itself was great. The performers (humans, horses and falcon) were all very talented and did a great job. During the show you're served a decent meal. Ours was a tomato based soup, bread, a half of a chicken, half of a potato, a piece of corn and then a small serving of ice cream. Vegan and veggie options were available by request.Once the combat was over we collected our souvenirs and drove home. It really was a good time, and the car was filled with conversation about the show and how fun it was.read more

So. Much. Fun. I haven't been here since I was a wee young lady but my boyfriend and I went to celebrate his birthday... and it's just as fun for adults! (The adult beverages made it that much more fun as well!) The alcohol had GREAT prices, and I mean GREAT. And man, they were not kidding when they call it a feast. So much good food! I am vegetarian and the food was delicious for me. We are very excited to go again. I paid for the $15 extra VIP for good seating and I was extremely pleased with out placement. The regular seats however had a great view as well!read more

Once in a life time experience, upgrade to VIP for 20 dollars more You are able to sit 3rd row, have your name... announced, and are provided with a group photo, which would cost the 20 dollars, if you were to buy it there anyways. This performance is outstanding. The food is not great, but the ambiance makes up for it. Please take your children to experience this at least once. I believe ages 7 and up would enjoy it the most.read more

I'd recommend going at least once regardless of whether you're an adult or child. You will have the option to pay more... for better seating. I think it's worth it for this type of experience. The experience comes with a "feast" which is a decent amount of food that is served quickly. There are also vegetarian options which I heard taste fine.We went during the winter and it was cold inside (just like outside) so if you also go in the winter, dress accordingly.read more

Can’t wait to do it again. Best value ever!!!read more

Delicious food! I’ve been here multiple times trying both the regular feast and the vegan feast. Both are equally... delicious and filling. The tomato bisque and garlic bread are a perfect pairing for the appetizer then the chicken,potato, and corn. Delicious. With desert being the vanilla soft serve with caramel. An amazing dinner. The vegan dinner was very refreshing and surprising. The appetizer included hummus with celery and carrots which normally I wouldn’t find exciting however the hummus was very garlicy which I was absolutely delicious the vegetables were fresh and crisp! The three bean soup was very filling and amazing! The desert was fruit which was the perfect sweetness! An amazing experience and that was just the food.read more

One of the best experiences for us first timers! We were celebrating a birthday so we did the celebratory upgrade and... it was absolutely worth it. Walking in, the service was very informative, thank goodness. They told us what we needed to know and where to go, very organized. The games and fighting were amazing. Our very own red knight won! The food was delicious and very filling! I had the regular meal as the rest of my party had the vegan/vegetarian meals. They absolutely loved their meals as well so I'm thankful for that because that's what I was concerned about. I also surprised the birthday girl with a knighting ceremony which was cute! Glad the package came with a group photo that we each all get to take home. I would definitely recommend others to go and will come back again soon!read more

I found the experience good. Everyone was friendly and entertaining.At times the main presentation seemed it had a... lot of fluff in it to fill time. I wished there was more "games" instead of the demonstrations of horse gallops and trots. That being said I loved seeing the ability of the horses and they seem to treat them well.The food was "okay". Nothing terrible, but if your looking for great food, this is not the place. You come here for the experience and everything else.read more

Was a great experience for the entire family. With five kids between toddler and teenager, everyone had a blast! The... VIP package was well worth it to be right up front by the action. The food was great, although we did have to request silverware for our toddler. They stick with the medieval theme all the way through, so you eat with your hands! They do a great job with slaving out different parties and requiring masks.I knew better before hand, but unless you plan on consuming alcohol before you are seated, or shopping for trinkets and toys, it's probably not worth showing up the hour early as recommended.I would highly recommend going at least once if you haven't been before!read more

Amazing! Simply Amazing. Great time for the family or even a date. The show was really great and the food was... wonderful! I went with my wife and we dressed up and I was knighted and the staff are so nice. You can tell they love their jobs. From the horse dances and the costumes to the storyline and the Sparks flying with each sword strike it was so entertaining. When I heard they didn't have eating utensils I was a bit nervous, but they don't serve food that you would need those for anyway. I am definitely going back. See you there Lords and Ladies!!!!

If you're in town and want something fun to do I highly recommend doing Medieval Times! The food was great, when... looking at reviews there was a lot of 50/50 about the food but man, I'd eat that again in a heartbeat. The chicken was cooked perfectly and moist, definitely need a lot of napkins. The potatoes were delicious, the garlic bread was GREAT. Didn't eat any of the tomato soup but my friend said it was really good. The wenches were lovely and definitely do their jobs amazingly considering how many people they have to serve. This was my first time going and my knight (black & white) made it memorable by giving me the first rose of the night 🥺. I would so go again.Unfortunately the museum of torture was closed when I went.read more

We came here to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday surprise birthday that is had a real good time the show is very... good the actors were very good and plenty of horses to go around. The dinner was pretty good but they bring each entry separately so you really don't get a feel of the whole dinner it's just like one piece at a time first the soup then the bread and the chicken and the dessert probably every good 10-15 minutes they give you one course. But you probably won't notice that with the distraction of the show. They do so daggers swords and plenty of stuff for the kids so bring your wallet and plenty of money so you can waste it. Besides that go ahead and have a good time.read more

A little kitschy, but not bad! Medieval Times is colorful and vibrant representation of its namesake and has been a... Buena Park establishment for a long as I can remember!

It's great for families outting nights and for couples looking for a loud exciting evening full of memories.read more

Well, it's a dinner place. So a nice lady, who strangely wants to be referred to as a "wench" will bring you a... remarkably okay meal for a place serving this many people. When we were there, they had problems with the dishwasher or something, so we had to eat with our hands. But the food was good.But that's not all! There is this big open space in front of you where a bunch of guys (if the ladies here are wenches, they must call themselves bros or something - they didn't specify) ride really big horses around in circles. The bros (?) evidently don't like each other very much because they keep grabbing the prop weapons from the walls and trying to kill each other. Fortunately, they are no better with their weapons than those guys in the Westerns or Star Wars, and no one really gets hurt. The dust on the floor must be slippery, though, because they fall dramatically a lot. The horses are pretty though, and don't fall over. Just the bros. Dudes? Anyway...But the food is good. Tip your server.read more

Yes, this place is a little "nerdy" but it's also really entertaining and fun! My husband and I watched their New...

Beforehand we saw some of the horses and even a falcon or two. The dinner was good, nothing fancy, but we appreciated that they had a vegetarian option. After the show, we met a couple of the knights and spent a little bit on the dance floor until it was time to ring in the new year, which we did with complimentary apple cider (champagne was also available and complimentary) and noise makers.

One of the best Christmas experiences we have had as a family in a long time. We wanted to change it up and do... something different for the kids to experience on Christmas instead of worrying gifts and what they wanted and what they got. We thought this would be something different for them to enjoy and we were right. They loved the whole experience from start to finish. They got to meet the Queen and the King of the night and see all the horses and see different swords. Once we got into the arena it was so awesome!! We enjoyed the full course meal that was a concept of what they would have eaten in those days (the kids only ate the corn) and very filling. The service was great and the knights of the show was awesome! Our daughter got one of the flowers from our knight we were cheering for. They make it an amazing show from start to finish and so glad we experienced.read more
