I selected the vegetarian option and enjoyed pita bread, crudites and humus, as well as a delicious bean and rice soup and sides. The actors train for months and you can tell – they were absolutely amazing and the chorography was top-notch! There’s no fake blood or anything gory, it’s more of a sport than a fight. The “wounded” knight then gets up and walks slowly off stage, with the help of his attendant, pretending to be injured. When a knight “wounds” another knight, he simply places his sword on the knight’s body and the knight falls down. The “fighting” is more playful than real.
The highlight of the show is the jousting tournament and while I was at first worried that my kids (especially my four-year-old) will be seeing a violent tournament, I was pleasantly surprised. They, in turn, throw the flowers out to the audience.Īs part of the story, the master of ceremonies calls the king to round up the knights for the tournament. In between, they head to the princess who throws flowers to them. Ours was the black and white knight.īefore the jousting tournament begins, the horses perform tricks and the knights perform some cool tricks on their own. When the show begins we meet all the knights and cheer for the knight that represents your section. There are knights on horses, princesses, kings and even a falcon that flies around the audience. The show begins very dramatically, with smoke, light strobe effects and dramatic music. There are no bad seats – it’s stadium seating so even if there’s someone tall in front of you, you will still see well.
When it’s time to enter the show, you enter an arena and get seated at your table. The shops sold everything related to the era:
#MEDIEVAL TIMES CHICAGO BLACK AND WHITE KNIGHTS UPGRADE#
There are shops with merchandise all related to the Middle Ages and you can also get your picture taken to purchase later (some photos are included in the upgrade packages). When you first walk in you enter the Hall of Arms, filed with Medieval decor. Want to see it for yourself? We’re giving away 4 tickets to one lucky reader! I recently saw a performance with my family and loved the dramatic moments, the cool horse tricks, the lavish costumes, the knights who don’t miss a beat and the story to tie it all in together. One of the most popular dinner and tournament shows in the U.S, Medieval Times is a top-notch experience that needs to be on your bucket list. This all happened in Lyndhurst, NJ at the Medieval Times Castle and occurs every day to the delight of over one thousand spectators. A royal family in crisis, six brave knights competing in a jousting tournament, half a dozen of horses trotting about and one falcon soaring up in the ceiling of a castle…no, I am not hallucinating from the summer heat.
