![]() The ticket price includes the show and your dinner but not the gratuity. It also includes your choice of tea, soft drink, water or lemonade. While not the most gourmet meal that I have ever eaten, it is well cooked with generous portions. The dinner consisted of soup, bread, chicken, potato, corn and dessert. There is jousting, sword fighting, targets and more all demonstrated as a part of the story and show that is taking place in the arena while you enjoy your dinner. They demonstrate some wonderful horsemanship as well as skill in the competitions. Each year the show changes a bit but the overall idea is that you have multiple knights competing in a series of games. Once you are seating with your drinks the show begins. My four year old’s favorite part of this experience was that there is no silverware you eat everything with your hands. Once seated your server will bring you your beverage of choice and the first of several courses. This color represents the knight that you will be cheering for during the show. Once the time of your show has arrived you will be seated according to the color that you were assigned when you arrived.

For a small additional fee you can also tour the dungeon, but this tour may scary for small children. You have the opportunity for pictures and to ask questions while looking at various shields, suits of armor, and other replica items. On the inside you get a chance to meet several costumed interpreters that are playing the role of the queen, knights, and the queen’s advisors. This is a great visual for children that have been learning about castles. When you arrive at Medieval Times you immediately notice that the building is designed as a large castle. They even have free lesson plans and materials that you can download to accompany your trip. We went to the regular evening show, but some days they offer special school/ homeschool shows at lunch time. What is this wonderful opportunity? The dinner show at Medieval Times. We are currently studying Ancient history but still wanted to take advantage of this opportunity while we were there both because of its educational value and because we knew the children would have a great time. The first one was not your typical field trip but it was so much fun and a great addition to any study of medieval history. Our primary purpose for this trip was not educational but we did take advantage of a few fun educational opportunities. We recently had the opportunity to spend a few days in Myrtle Beach, SC for a little rest and rejuvenation. *Some of the links in my posts may be affiliate links see below for more information.
