| - This was my first time going to Medieval Times, and I am so glad I did! We don't have children - we're just too adult dorks who love things like this. :)
If you're driving, there's a parking lot for Medieval Times and the entrance is just west of the building - it costs $11.00 (on a Friday evening), so prepare for that.
If you have an iPhone, you might have trouble showing your tickets on your mobile. We did, as it requires Java to pull them up, so consider printing your tickets. As it is, they were understanding and offered to print our tickets, but told us as we had the celebration package, we could go to the desk and tell them and didn't need our tickets. That worked great!
The souvenirs are pretty expensive, and they have a cash bar, so bring money if you want drinks and to buy from the numerous gift counters. We got seated first, and in the front row, which was awesome.
Throughout the show, they have a "wench" or "serf" serve you, a "barmaid" comes around to see if you want drinks, and numerous merchants walk around with things to entice your kids. A photographer will also come around and take your photo, which they will ask if you want to buy them.
The show is great, and the food is actually REALLY good! You get pop or water, tomato soup, garlic bread, chicken, half a roasted potato, a piece of corn on the cob, tea or coffee before dessert, and then the current pastry they are serving. Ours was a sort of tart. I was really impressed with their food!
If you join the birthday fellowship online, you can get a ticket free for your birthday, which is what I did. We also upgraded our tickets to the celebration package, so for 2 adults (with a free basic birthday tickets plus upgrade), our total was about $132 for tickets. We both felt the price and the upgrade was totally worth it.
Although everyone was kind and friendly, there were 2 standout employees for us - Shawn and Heidi, a serf and a wench. They were amazing, just friendly and charismatic and they made our evening even better. I was really impressed with them.
I'd definitely go back in the future. Great experience!
