| - +.5 for service
Mixed feelings really. It's definitely worth a visit if you have kids, but if you're coming with folks not from the city where you as a 24 year old are the youngest...I wouldn't bother.
Medieval Times ran a Victoria Day weekend special where tickets are $20 off their usual prices, at the same time where several of my relatives from Hong Kong came to visit. My aunt (who's from here) decided to treat them to a Medieval Times experience, as we figure it's something that's unique and something you can't experience in HK.
I've been to Medieval Times when I was in elementary school, so I kinda know what to expect. I obviously didn't know better back then, and thought that there was actual death involved when the knights start fighting each other. Unfortunately now that I'm grown up, the whole battle sequence was way too fake and cheesy for my liking...although the kids sitting in the front rows were really engaged.
The food they serve is standard and hasn't changed since my first visit. The tomato bisque was actually quite good, at least it didn't feel canned. The roasted chicken was good except the breast itself, which was way too dry. The buttered corn and baked potato were okay, though personally I rather the buttered corn come in aluminum foil (I understand the whole eating with hands concept, that's fine) cause it got way too messy. The pastries were a bit on the sweet side for my liking.
Our server was very good and we left her a very good tip as a result. I think all the servers in general were very good, and honestly they're probably the most hardworking of the bunch to make sure everything runs smoothly.
If you have kids, especially if they're learning about medieval times, take them here. If you like knights (especially those of Spain and Rome), come here. Otherwise...I'd skip this venue.
