Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament

Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament

I know there are some Medieval Times in the States as well, but since I live in Toronto, we decided to visit the one here. I had only ever been to a few dinner theatre shows before, but this one is extraordinary. We enjoyed it so much we've been there twice already.

When you go in your group is assigned a specific knight that you cheer and root for. You get a colored paper crown as well; you are ushered to a location and they put a cape on you and take your picture with a knight and you are given the option to purchase the photo at the end of the knight (hehe). Each group is sent into the arena and assigned seating in a specific area (you dont have assigned seats, just an assigned area, obviously it is better to be sitting closer to the ring, you might even get a rose from your knight).

The prices as of now are $56.95CDN for adults and $38.95CDN for children. Check their website at http://www.medievaltimes.com/ for current pricing. That price includes four-course dinner, two-hour live show, beverages and taxes. Let me state that beverages are pop, water, coffee and tea (no alcohol, that comes at an extra charge). The four-course dinner is baked potato, chicken thigh, ribs, veggies and soup. The funny thing is, they don't give you utensils, you are expected to eat it with your hands, just like in medieval times. There are vegetarian meal options which consist of the potato, veggies, and rice. The meals are very filling and I think its a pastry you get for dessert.

If you get there early, there is a bar serving drinks before you are called into the arena and plenty of counters and shelves displaying the different souvenirs you can pick up. As you can see in the pictures I've included, one of our friends got a little too tipsy and decided it was a good idea to invest in the $15CDN mini wooden shield.

The knights are out in this common area once the show is over, where you can get your picture taken with them or get autographs. It is a rather interesting experience and I highly recommend it, at least once.
