Noblemen wore tunics or jackets with hose, leggings and breeches. The wealthy also wore furs and jewellery. Women wore long gowns with sleeveless tunics and wimples to cover their hair. Both times we were on the front row we ended up with a flower from our knight. Going VIP saved us from having to purchase a flag to cheer on our knight.
We got there early to enjoy the pre show stuff. There are a lot of bars so you can have a few cocktails before the show starts and then they walk around and sell during the show as well. Is there assigned seating at Medieval Times? How do Medieval Times sit together? What is priority seating at Medieval Times? Do you tip at Medieval Times? Is Medieval Times worth the money? Has anyone died at Medieval Times?
Does medieval times do a Christmas show? Is it worth upgrading at Medieval Times? How long does Medieval Times show last? There are horses that can do tricks, there is a falconer who lets his bird loose in the stadium. Then once the opening acts are finished the knights come out. At first the knights just show their skill. They see which knight can get the most rings on their lance and which knight can get the most bulls-eyes. Once the initial games are over the battles begin.
The knights take turns challenging each other. First, they do a few passes on their horse with the lances. Once one knight it knocked off his horse the real battle begins. The show is full of exciting twists and turns until one knight is left victorious. Now here is where the problem talking with someone who is in a whole other world. Once you open up the world and act interested, its hard to shut it down. And his wench wench is an acceptable and PC term at Medieval Times , btw was contradicting some of his statements, which made him embarrassed, backtracking, and re-explaining.
Cause it totally matters if the goblet he is drinking from and brought from home! And even better, this was his first time to Medieval Times. He really put a lot of thought into his costume before he came.
I wonder what the employees thought when he bought tickets. I still get a giggle out of the whole thing. Now when they call you to go into the seating area, they call you by knight color. The section you sit in is the color of knight you cheer on throughout the show. While you are assigned a table which is set up like long picnic tables , you are not assigned a seat. If you are on any of the last sections of the colors, you could end up against the wall on either side. Here is where I should mention that there is no silverware.
I mean…its medieval. You eat with your hands. They serve chicken, ribs, bread, soup this is in a bowl with a handle to drink and dessert. The food was surprisingly good AND it kept coming. I was stuffed. The service was immaculate and our waiter, even with 50 people to serve, was all over it.
Ill be the first to admit the show is slightly on the cheesy side. What do you want from a bunch of grown men running around fighting each other? But its a fabulous family adventure and your kids will be fascinated. The nitty gritty of the horse tricks and the jousts are a blast.
You get to cheer on your knight and really get into it. They were whooping and hollering and ooohing to their hearts desires. We sat in the yellow section on the far right, nearly up against the wall. They had screens that came down and protected your face from splinters if something broke off during the show.
The view was excellent on the 1st row, so I recommend the bottom rows if you can get them. The knights also hand flowers to the girls on those rows, so its a nice treat for your daughter if you get lucky.
Souvenir Tip: They sell ribbons for you to wave and cheer for your knight. At the end of the show most people leave them behind on the tables as they are exiting.
If your kids want one, wait till the end and walk around and pick up as many as you like. We collected a hand full for Charlotte. They will also take your picture and morph it into a knight or lady. They use dry ice so make sure you bring a filter to combat this.
Many of my photos were too smoked out to use. Few more things to remember: Everything is moving fast and you will need a wide angle for majority of shots.
You can find more information on tickets and upcoming shows at Medieval Times. And John Black was nice…even if it was Twilight Zone. Being at the front of the line when your color is called does NOT at all ensure you will get better seats. You can end up at the end of the arena just as easily. You actually want to be in the middle of the line, to increase your odds of sitting in the middle of the arena.
