Our Journey through the Middle Ages: Medieval Times

Disclosure: My family received complementary passes to attend Medieval Times, however all opinions expressed are my own.

My family and I were invited to the show Medieval Times. Let me tell you all about our journey into the Middle Ages and the time of the Knights. Since my husband and son will be traveling to Ohio soon, we wanted to have an early Father’s Day celebration and what a better place to visit that Medieval Times.

When you arrive to pick up your tickets, you can upgrade for different options and you can also choose to visit for an extra nominal fee the Middle Ages Museum called The Museum of Torture. At the small museum you get to see all types of weapons and torture tools used at the Middle Ages.

Everyone at the show is dressed in traditional Middle Ages attire and addresses you as my lady or my lord. This is a great way to help you get into the mood for the show. They gave us white and black crowns. That meant we had to cheer for our Knight Don Iofre Santa Creu, defender of the ancient shrine at Santiago de Compostela. We were seated by the servers and we were ready to start the show. If you get the royalty upgrade you get preferential seating and also a banner to cheer your knight.

Once everyone is at their seats the trumpets sound and The King and Queen beckoned the staff to bring on the feast. Then the servers begin bringing you the royal feast.   The feast includes: Tomato Bisque Soup, Castle Bread, Roasted Chicken, BBQ Spare Rib, Herb-Basted Potato, and a Pastry of the Castle for desert.  There are also drinks: Pepsi, Ice Tea or water with the option of buying alcoholic beverages. They also have a vegetarian menu available

The roasted chicken is very delicious, the BBQ flavor of the ribs is unique, the potato seasoning is very tasty and the rest of the menu just complements all very good.
All of the food is to be eaten with your bare hands as they did in the Middle Ages when silverware had not been invented.  And while everyone is enjoying the feast, a great show is taking place. There are horses and knights, weapons, live jousting, fights and battles. It is all very entertaining. There is even a Falcon that flights over the audience. The fights are so intense that there are sparks with the swords and weapons get crushed and Knights get pushed off their horses. You are taken back in time as you cheer for the Knight of the Realm that has the same colors as your crown.

At the end there is only one winner. It was not our Knight, but the show was really entertaining. You feel like you were in a Journey to the Medieval Times and both kids and adults will enjoy the food and show.

Medieval times is the perfect place to celebrate special occasions such as Father’s Day, graduations, Birthdays and we even had a group with us celebrating a bachelor party.
