I had booked this ahead of time and got the Premium package. It allowed us to 'fast lane' into where we got our pictures taken, register, get our crowns, and ultimately which color knight we would be cheering on. We took the $2 'Weapons of Torture' tour which was all of 30' long. It was still worth it, good time killer and conversation piece. There was some theatre going on the in souvenir shop/waiting area that also kept us occupied. Having premium seating also meant we were received free colored banners and first row seating and guaranteed good viewing. The food was very good (garlic bread, vegetable soup, chicken, spare rib, baked potato, dessert, and beverage), servers were in character and served quickly, with the food arriving hot. The portions were generous and we definitely didn't leave hungry. If you've seen the Dixie Stampede or Arabian Nights, it's the same indoor horse arena with spectacular costumes, horses, stories and above all, horsemen. This being a franchise, with several through out the country, we often talked about going, so it made for a nice evening.

It's away from all the other Myrtle Beach tourist stuff, so make sure you get good directions. And you have to buy tickets in advance.

There are two packages; I chose the cheaper one and my experience was great. The more expensive one gave you a couple extra things, but was not really worth the extra money as far as I'm concerned.

This was the first time I had seen this show and it was fun. They got the crowed involved and we cheered for our knight (who lost). It was very busy though, and not for people who are claustrophobic, because you're packed in there.

The food was good, but you have to eat with your hands...no silverware. Afterwards, the actors come out for pictures and autographs.

This is a dinner show, with no spoons, forks, knives, etc. They provide two rounds of drinks (soda/water), and there are no condiments on the table (unlike Dixie Stampede). The show is good, a little violent for the kids (depends on the age). I had to convince the 2-, 3-, and 4-year-old ones that it was just pretend.

They have a HUGE bar (two of them); drinks are expensive, though, especially if you want to buy their special cup. The show is about a little over than an hour. They have vegetarian food, which is somewhat limited. They apparently couldn't make a vegetarian soup. Kiddies are free if under 3, and they sit on your lap. They'll give the kid separate sitting (booster chair), but won't give 'em food.

The horse show is great and unique. I wish it had a person riding two horses at the same time, which the Dixie Stampede had. The battle and the plot are very interesting. The audience is involved with the show, and it's not as boring as Dixie Stampede.

This is the best show on the beach! I have seen it four times, each time with a different story plot. It is well worth the $40 ticket price. You can enter the "castle" 90 minutes before the show starts and mingle with the characters, buy souvenirs, have a drink, and tour the "dungeon." The friendly cast gladly poses for pictures with you. They offer a knighting ceremony for people celebrating special occasions. I had my husband knighted last year for his birthday. It was a hoot!

Once you are seated in the arena, dinner is served. The waiters, called "wenches," are there for your every need. The food is delicious. I was very shocked, because usually the food is only okay at these dinner shows, but Medieval Times offers both great food and a great show. The costumes that the cast, including the horses, wears are very authentic looking like they came from the time period they are portraying. The tournament itself is action-packed. I find myself seating on the edge of my chair, loudly and passionately cheering for my knight and completely forgetting to eat my dinner! This is a must-see show for people of every age.

This is a place to visit if you want to experience what it was like to eat and watch dueling on horses during the Medieval times. The food is served by wenches (waitresses), and you have to eat with your hands. No utensils provided. You watch the knight fight for his honor, and it is a must if you have kids to go and visit this place.
