Between sword fights to horse riding, there is plenty to experience at the Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Orlando, Florida where guests can enjoy hours of entertainment while dining over a four-course meal. An all-new show is available at the castle with a live jousting tournament that involves both knights, a princess, and purebred Spanish horses.
At each show, guests receive a feast that's fit for a king with oven roasted chicken and a hearty side of garlic bread. Tomato bisque soup and herb-roasted potato are also paired with the meal, along with a juicy spare rib and a pastry for additional sides. A kings vegetarian meal is also available upon request and includes three-bean stew, brown rice, fresh hummus and warm pita bread, with carrot and celery sticks, all accompanied by fresh fruit or Italian ice. For adults, a full-bar service is available pre-show, during the event, and after the show.
The Medieval Times castle is a notable attraction in Orlando, Florida with the traditional moat and drawbridge that can be seen in the front, as well as towering white walls that have a strong presence in the city. An eight-cottage medieval village is also featured in the castle and recently underwent an extensive renovation to enhance the theme of Medieval Times.
Between the horses to the armor, many aspects of the show are authentic, which includes the weaponry. Guests can expect to see the same weapons that were used from the 5th to the 15th century, which include the lance, which works to unhorse an enemy. The espada is a common sword used for a lightweight tool, while the the Alabarda is known to do more damage for stabbing during a battle. The bola is one of the most recognizable weapons with a spiked ball that is attached to a wooden handle, known as one of the most intimidating items during the show. The Mandoble was another item used in the 11th century for a two-handed sword that is used on foot to protect oneself and harm the enemy.
For guests coming to Medieval Times for a special occasion, a celebration package is available, which includes seating in the second or third row, a slice of cake, a “Behind the Scenes” DVD, a personalized announcement for the guest during the show, a framed group photo, and a commemorative program. The venue also makes for a great place to say “I do” where couples have access to wedding packages that include hosting their event or wedding reception on-site. Medieval Times can be transformed into a private in-castle reception area with a dance floor, dramatic lights, a sound system, and a full-service bar for several private events. Medieval Times has also hosted grad nights, several contests throughout the year, and free giveaways for its guests.

This looks so cool and so much fun for all ages! Would definitely be a memorable experience! I think it’s really neat that they do weddings there as well.
The Medieval Times experience is amazing. It is a great way to have a fun night out with the kids. The food is so delicious and the show is fantastic. I would love to go again sometime soon.
I would recommend Medieval Times to everyone. It is so much fun and the food was delicious. It is a great deal and the kids loved it.
Oh I’d LOVE to attend a medieval times tournament! I think there’s on about 2 hours from where we live. Just not sure the dates. I’ll have to look into that. Looks like fun and the food looks amazing!
This sounds like such an impressive show. You have to love the interaction and how you get to feast while watching!
This is so funny. My husband and I ate at the Medieval Times on our honeymoon 30 YEARS AGO! Can you believe it?! I had so much fun!
We just love Medieval Times. It’s always so much fun for all ages. And the food was amazing!
Florida has the BEST attractions! I cannot wait to visit someday soon!
This is one of my FAVORITES! I went here for a birthday a few years ago and had so much fun! We went to this location too.
This is such a cool place! I’ve wanted to go here so often! Can’t wait!
I’m going to have to remember this should we go back to Orlando soon. What a fun dinner idea for the whole family. I know my boys would enjoy this show.
This sounds like so much fun, I have looked into going but not an option for us because of food allergies but definitely unique fun!
This sounds really fun! I am sure my kids will enjoy here! 😀
We just went to Medieval Times with the kids this past Spring. They loved it and we are planning on going back this fall with out scouting groups.
