11th Century Jousting Tournament
Join the good King Phillipe and his marry men for dinner and a jousting tournament at Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament in a medieval castle-like setting.
Besides a jousting tournament on a large, indoor field where the regally attired knights compete for the hand of the beautiful princess, watch and cheer for your favorite knight as they test their skills in swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, and displays of horsemanship.
You dine on long tables while the Medieval Times knights joust and pummel each other with swords, maces, lances and the alabardas. But be prepared to eat with your hands, as no silverware is provided.
The meal, served out of iron kettles, is basic fare — tomato bisque soup, roasted chicken and ribs, with potatoes, bread, pastry, and beverage. A full-service cash bar is also available.
You may also tour the Hall of Arms with its collection of Medieval artifacts, and a Medieval torture museum ($2.00), and is probably not for little children.
Don’t expect fine dining, but then, did they have fine dining in the 11th century? But do expect the typical themed gift shop and fee-based photo ops with the cast of characters.
Medieval Times is probably more appropriate for families with kids under 15, but even adults should be able to get into cheering for their favorite Medieval competitor.
