HARK! A TALE OF VALOR, FEASTING, AND GLORY! 'Twas our first journey to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, and from the very moment we crossed the castle gates, we were utterly blown away! How a man can journey from a shopping mall in Baltimore and, mere moments later, find himself standing before a mighty castle, I know not. We were assigned to House Black & White, and naturally, we had but one duty: to stand at the tip of the spear and make our house heard throughout the realm! And by the King's beard, the feast did not disappoint! The dragon was prepared with great skill and was absolutely delicious. Our server, Julian, was a true champion of the realm and absolutely killed it from beginning to end. Then came the tournament... WHAT. A. SHOW. If I had to describe it to a commoner, I would say: WWE + Game of Thrones = MEDIEVAL TIMES. Jousting, sword fighting, horses, knights, drama, action, and enough excitement to keep the entire castle roaring. Our knight fought with honor, integrity, and bravery, and he had House Black & White fired up like we were preparing to storm the gates ourselves! Alas... House Black & White fell short of victory. But our knight fought valiantly, and we made certain the entire castle knew exactly which house stood behind him. We were encouraged to be the loudest house in the castle, and by the end of the night, I believe we gave it our absolute best. I walked through those gates wondering whether the ticket price would truly be worth it. I walked out wondering: "How in the heck do they make a profit putting THIS much into a show?" The actors. The horses. The food. The costumes. The sets. The production. The action. It is absolutely packed with entertainment from start to finish, and it's one hell of a way to spend a couple of hours with family and friends. I went in not knowing what to expect and left already thinking about when we could do it again. In fact... Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, may soon have a visit from House Black & White. If you've never been, GO WATCH THE SHOW! You shall not be disappointed. 10/10. Would feast, cheer, and battle again. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must return to my kingdom and await the next tournament. read more

Came back to see if Medieval Times was still worth my 4 star review. We arrived for our show and checked i. at the front kiosk and gave them our ticket information to look up. I upgraded VIP to the front of the row so that we could be close to the action, which also included a "VIP" lanyard. There were a number of upgrades available. We came in and were greeted by a pleasant person at the door, presented our ticket, and given a hat and banner for the section we were placed in (they have five different colored sections). Once in, they have an assortment of items available for purchase before the show starts. Souvenirs, photos, costumes, adult drinks and nonalcoholic ones as well. They make an announcement before the show starts of which door to stand in front of according to your section color. Once, the doors open, you are ushered to your area and seated. The show was great featuring knights, kings, queens, falcons, dancing horses, jousting competitions, sword fights, and the usual good versus evil trope. Between segments the food is served. The food, served renaissance style (no cutlery, you can request), consisted of an appetizer of tomato soup with garlic bread; main course of a quarter baked chicken, half a roasted potato, and corn on the cob; and a dessert of mini chocolate eclairs. They have substitute meal options available (inquire before show). The food was very good, except the mini eclair for me. They have unlimited soft drink refills. They also have staff that come around selling upgraded banners, lighted swords for the kids, photos, and adult beverages. The entire staff were pleasant and accommodating. They also have a segment of the show where they adorn the bell of that area and I was chosen! They give you a sash and you can have your picture taken for a fee...I just had one of the people I was with take mine for free! All in all, the four star rating stands and Medieval Times is perfect for a group, family, birthday, anniversary, family, or couples outing. read more

This was fun!! I have been trying to get here for years. I actually thought that this was for the kids only. That's probably why I kept putting it off. I'm glad we picked a weekday to attend. It was less crowded. We were a party of two. The gate opens at 6pm. You are not allowed to enter seating until 6:45. Show started at 7pm. We looked around the gift shop area & decided to buy a drink at the bar. I purchased a hard apple cider drink and I saw a cup with lights that I liked that lite up different colors. Separate price of course. It was so cool. my husband ordered a beer and he ordered a 25 oz mug with the beer it came to $25.00. My souvenir cup with drink included was $18.75. We were in the black and white group. Which was the VIP Queen Royalty. It came with two pictures. A lanyard and of course your crown. It was a good package deal. If you are affiliated with the military. You get a nice discount on the tickets. We arrived so early that we were seated on the first row. So good for that. Now on to the food. Everything was pippin hot. My chicken was seasoned well. Nice and juicy. I enjoyed it. As well as the corn on the cob. Which was very sweet. I enjoyed the bread. Didn't care for the flavor of the tomato soup. I'm picky with that. It gets a little messy eating with your hands. So keep that in mind and I was told you can request utensils. The water and non alcohol refreshments were included. Didn't much care for the desserts. One was a slice of a birthday cake coated with candy and the other was a mini chocolate eclaire. Our sever was super nice. We were seated at table two. I really enjoyed the show. Very entertaining. Definitely glad we finally checked it out. read more

My boyfriend surprised me for my birthday here and it was so fun to see everything from bachelor parties to retirement and just all different kinds of people! My boyfriend and I dressed up which really made it more fun and they love when you interact with them. The food was delicious and we were full by the end. We were served tomato soup and offered a drink of our choice, a giant hen with potato and an eclair for dessert with coffee. We got the VIP so we were in a great section and we got a photo taken that was paper framed as well as a slushy with a glass we got to take home which was a really nice touch. I can't wait to go back! read more

By far one of my favorite places to go! Everyone thag works there is so friendly and in character from the voices to the way they walk! You really get that medieval feel.I have spent the last 3 birthdays here each with a different package that they offer! This time I signed up for them to read my name during the celebration list announcement during the show. They provide a full course meal included with your ticket! Live horses and jousting! You have a server to provide you anything you need during the show (including an adult beverage) They sell souvenirs including swords! Birthday parties , group events, or just a night out it is perfect for any occasion! read more

I planned a Family outing to Medieval Times and it was Amazing. I have been many many years ago and decided to take my family so we all can get to experience it together. I purchased my tickets online with a work discount because it can be expensive for a family of 6. Parking is at the Arundel Mills Mall. The entrance is located inside the mall. The show is really theatrical and exciting. You are routing for your team in sections with colored flags. There is a lot of screaming to show support for your team. The food is passed out and you are expected to eat with your fingers. Please pack your own silverware if using your fingers is not something you want to do. I also had to wait for the server to bring us silverware which took some time. There are alcoholic beverages to purchase for adults of course along with sovernier cups which my kids begged for. The food is just ok. The show is very entertaining and I was very happy with the show. The entertainment performers were very gracious with taking tons of pictures after the show. I will definitely recommend this for a family outing. read more

First time at Medieval Times ever. I went on a Saturday at 6pm, and the place was packed and chaotic. Paid $23 extra per person for Celebration Upgrade, which gave us a framed photo, preferred seating, extra dessert, a flag, and early entry. The only things worthwhile in that list are the photo and the preferred seating. The cake slice was bad, and the other 2 things aren't really worth it since seating is assigned. Before you are let into the seating area, you can explore the open area with the gift shop and bar, but there wasn't a clear bar menu to order from. SHOW: The show was fun. Very loud so maybe bring some ear plugs to protect your hearing. The seating we got was unobstructed and nice, other people's seats had a net for safety. Props to the actors in the show for their hard work. FOOD: Pleasantly surprised by most of it. Tomato soup was alright, though I wish I got a little bit more and that the garlic bread came at the same time as the soup for dipping. Garlic bread was alright too but tasty enough. The half chicken was the star of the show - the dark meat was extremely juicy, hot, and tender. Even the breast meat was excellent and not dry. It was just messy eating with hands only and would have appreciated the wet wipe to already be on the table rather than be passed out. The accompany buttered corn and potato were also delicious and hot. The dessert was the only bad part - the cake with funfetti frosting was dry and tasted kind of stale and cloyingly sweet. The eclair was bland and dry. SERVICE: Bar wench was a little snippy lol. Waitress lost her voice and could barely hear her but she was great. She was having a rough night, we could tell - sweating and lifting the heavy trays must have been really difficult. Hard job, everyone should tip them well. Honestly just felt bad for her. Pricey experience but worth it for a fun celebration or experience every now and then. Tips are not included - cash or Venmo/cashapp only, so be prepared. read more

Went to Medieval Times with a group of colleagues for a work event. We wanted to make a few memories and thought that it would be fun to try something different. The event was fun but a little loud because of several groups of school events. The food was okay though at my age I really like silverware. Guess I would not have enjoyed the Middle Ages. The service was quick and friendly especially with such a large crowd. The knights were impressive and we all enjoyed the jousting. read more

Listen: is this expensive? Yes. Is this a BLAST? YES. Remember that you're playing for dinner a a show. And what a show it is. You're screaming, you're cheering, laughing, and being shocked by the drama unfolding live in front of you. You have a bar maiden bringing a sheet pan of chickens to you! Light up beer! Succulent corn! This is a hoot. We paid for the queens upgrade and it was so worth it. We were rink side and it was so fun. We got priority seating, a pennant to wave for our knight, and it was just such a fun time. Everything about here is just so great. Service. Vibes. Everything is just top notch. You have to come at least once. read more

Whew chile as a first-timer, this experience was a lot and not in a good way.... To start off there was very little direction for first-time guests. From arrival to seating, you're expected to just... figure it out, which immediately sets a chaotic tone. My family had Royal VIP tickets, which are marketed as a premium experience. This package includes priority seating closer to the arena, VIP check-in, and themed extras meant to feel elevated but in reality the value did not match the price at all smh. Seating itself was another issue. Tables are assigned, individual seating within the tables however are not which created unnecessary awkwardness. We were already seated when a woman came over with her family asking us to "move down." Another family on the other side of us had just arrived, and they ended up switching seats with them, but the whole interaction was uncomfortable and avoidable. For a show this structured and for the price, assigned seating should be mandatory, period. Now on to the food whew ... so the food was very very underwhelming. Menu options were limited, the dessert was genuinely terrible ( confetti birthday cake with a donut !?! ) and utensils were never offered.... Now I understand the medieval theme, but there should still be an option for people who don't want to eat entirely with their hands especially since extra napkins aren't readily available. Yes, wipes are provided, but only at the beginning and the end. Considering you're expected to touch and wave flags, clap, cheer, and participate... all while eating with your hands it was honestly just too much lol. What really sealed the deal for me was watching a horse drop a pile of poo mid-show while I was actively chewing my chicken, which in that moment made me honestly rethink what I actually paid for.... The service flow felt outdated and overly disruptive. Food for both the appetizer and the entrée were delivered in multiple passes first the chicken, then potato, then corn, instead of as a single plated meal. This was happening on every row, including the row directly in front of us, making it difficult to focus on the show. On top of that, the food server returned repeatedly to collect plates and distribute tip slips, while a separate bar server passed our row multiple times and another staff member continuously walked the aisles handing out photos. With multiple staff members moving through tight spaces at once, the constant foot traffic pulled attention away from the performance and added to the overall chaos I felt. We attended a Christmas Eve show, and despite the festive decor outside the stadium, there was no mention of Christmas at all inside I mean no festive touch to the show, no seasonal menu ... nothing. I understand the medieval concept, but if you're hosting holiday dates, a little acknowledgment would have gone a long way. The show itself was okay. My kids enjoyed it, and I was mildly entertained, but the fight sequences were very obviously rehearsed. For the price of the VIP tickets, it did not feel worth it especially since our knight got beat up the entire show (I know that's not personal... but still lol). Overall, it was fun for my kids as a one-time experience, but it felt overpriced for what you actually get. The service model is outdated, and the constant interruptions took away from the show. Between the unexpected barn realism, the missed opportunity for a holiday experience, the hand contact with not enough napkins, and avoidable seating chaos, the experience didn't live up to the premium price point I paid. read more

HUZZAH BLUE KNIGHT! With Medieval Times trending right now, my friends and I knew we had to go on our weekend trip up to Maryland for the Ren Faire. We dressed up for our Medieval Time fun. It's located in a mall, so there was plenty of free parking. I bought our tickets ahead of time so all we had to do was show the confirmation email at check-in to get our tickets. We waited in very short lines and were given crowns for the knight we were rooting for. It was BUSY. They had us go to a corner to take a photo then we were free to explore. We got there pretty close to show time, so the medieval emcee was already speaking from above. He gave clear instructions on what we were and weren't allowed to do as well as how to find our seats. I was so happy that we were given a row in front. This is true entertainment and a show. I brought some plastic utensils because I had read somewhere that they didn't offer any, but turns out we were offered that that evening. I'm still glad I brought it because they went by pretty quickly. The servers here are INCREDIBLE. They work quick and carry very heavy things. I was in awe of their flow. Everything was very organized and felt thoughtfully planned out. There are tons of add-ons you can purchase before or during your time here. We decided to purchase some wine and a friend of mine got a souvenir cup. My gluten-free friend had an easy time enjoying her meal too. She was given veggies instead of the bread roll and Italian ice instead of an eclair. My friends loved the dragon's blood (tomato soup). And the food servings here are HUGE. We got half a rotisserie chicken. They put on a really fun show. With falconry, horse tricks, jousting, sword fighting, and a fun cheesy 90s medieval movie plot. These people are skilled performers. Do note that it gets incredibly loud because of the microphones on performers and the cheering. I think us being in front and our knight winning made the evening extra special. The only reason this is four instead of five stars is because I found myself worrying about the horses A LOT. I was not anticipating that. Their website does mention all the detailed care they do for the horses. I am not sure why I felt so conflicted, but this affected my evening a little bit. Overall, I still had a great time with my friends and enjoyed the show! read more

Apparently it's hard times over at Medieval Times. My family has been to this location a number of times but the food quality has really fallen off. Maybe they had an off day but the soup was 1/3 of the bowl filled and watery, the chicken was dry, they came around only once to refill drinks, etc. Also pro tip: don't pay extra for VIP seating. It only gets you closer to the horse stink and a front row seat to watching the horses gallop and poop and the folks racing out to pick it up. Not very appetizing lol. The dessert (even in VIP) is terrible. I wish they'd address that. The staff is hardworking and nice. Nice place for a one time visit but not worth it in my opinion for repeat visits. read more

We attended the 5pm show. The food is always phenomenal at Medieval. Obrocki was the best server ever. He was so friendly and funny! The ambiance is electric and so exciting. The main complaint I have is our bartender ROSS she was rude and disrespectful because we were waiting to leave a big tip at the end and she wanted a tip every time we ordered. She refused to serve us for our last drink and was rude and disrespectful. We had a large tip for her at the end but she missed out due to being so rude! I would never want her to be our bartender again. Just nasty and put a sour taste in our mouth from the beginning to the end. When she did the last call she refused to serve us by stating "I give preference to my tipping customers only" and walked away and never returned such a rude attitude towards us. read more

My partner and I came here years ago with our kids, and now twice on our own on New Years Eves. It's a fun, family-friendly experience with decent food and hardworking and friendly Staff. If you are in the right mindset for a silly, entertaining evening of being called lord/lady and eating with your hands, it's fun. The horse work and choreography of the sword activity was fun to watch, and the performers were very enthusiastic and connected well with the audience. The food is good, too (what we ate - more about that later). Everyone got a cup of tomato soup, a half chicken, garlic bread, a half baked potato and a small piece of ear of buttered corn. And a dessert of a piece of cake and a chocolate eclair. Plenty to eat. I was impressed by the large serving of chicken. One thing I will caution you about is if you request a special meal. When I purchased the tickets, I reached out via email and told them we wanted a special meal. On the website, they proudly describe in detail 9 different special meals (gluten free, onion free, garlic free, etc). They said by email that they would make a note of it on our reservation and that we should alert our server. When we arrived tonight and checked in, we told the person we had requested "onion free" (the closest I could find to low fat and low salt). He looked like he didn't know what I was talking about and asked a supervisor. He then handed me two "special meal" tickets and told me to discuss with the server. We told the server that we wanted "onion free", but were really concerned with fat and salt. She said she'd let the kitchen know. I told her that the onion free came with fresh fruit instead of the soup. She said they didn't have fresh fruit, but offered us fresh veggies with hummus. She said she could get us plain chicken, but the potato and corn would be as it is normally served. (The special meal says they offer plain baked potato without butter/salt or other toppings.). Anyway, we agreed that we would take the meal as it is usually offered except for the chicken. I ate the corn but not the potato (because of salt/toppings). When everyone in our row was being served their chicken, she told us the kitchen forgot to make our chicken. So she offered us another round of veggies and hummus while we waited. (The hummus and veggies were very good both times!). A supervisor came a while later and said with an apology that the kitchen only made one chicken, not two. We said we would wait. After more time passed and everyone else was finishing their dessert, the chef came by and said it would be a few more minutes and asked if we wanted it "to go" (the show was almost over). We said we would eat it there and he apologized. The chicken came and it was overall moist, but parts very dry. The point of the story is - be aware if you order a special meal that they talk a good game on the website, but things really went sideways in practice tonight. My partner and I agreed that if we each had ordered a regular meal, it would have been fine. But we didn't, relying on the great detail and confidence they express on the website about providing special meals. I'd give the place 4 or 5 stars if we had ordered a regular meal. It's a fun place, you get to eat with your hands, and everyone is working hard and very pleasant. But, I will admit that it was pretty stressful waiting for our meal, with people coming over and apologizing first for forgetting to make it, then for making only one, asking us whether we would be satisfied with sharing only one meal, and then suggesting that it was so late that we probably should just take the meal home. But they were very apologetic. I have to review and give points based on my experience, not what my experience would have been if I had ordered a regular meal. So, 3 stars. It's a shame. read more

I came for a matinee performance with my ENTIRE school. You read that right. 750 pre-k through 5th graders(minus about 30 that didn't turn in their permission slips). It was a wild time. Probably the best field trip I've ever gone on as a chaperone. Of course we had some wait time, and three of my group got table number cards for a different table, but still with a teacher from my school. There were other schools there, but when the announcer called out our school name, the stadium erupted with cheer! The students and I loved seeing the knights and horses up close. I did knock a star off as another reviewer did because sometimes the sound was a bit muffled and hard to make out, especially during the trivia questions. Food was good. The students around me were eating their chicken with their hands. I had the vegetarian stew which was like vegetarian chili, and it was quite good. The corn was also very good not mushy like you get when you go to some places where they make it in bulk. We made it out intact; didn't lose any students in the crowd. I'm sure they will remember this field trip for a long time. read more

This place was a trip...also a scam but a good one. It's actually really fun and I had a great time. I think the show is a little long. I walked out at the end because I was over it. If they cut 10-15 minutes it would be perfect. The show is entertaining though. I loved seeing the horses and the falcon. I went in with no idea of what to expect, so that also helped. Drinks were surprisingly good though they veered on the sweeter side. Food wasn't bad. I enjoyed my chicken, potato, and corn on the cob and I was full after. Everyone is excited to be here so the place has a lot of energy. All of the staff were really upbeat and kind, which I guess you have to be if you work here. Service was great. We were celebrating a birthday, as were many others, and they do a good job with the birthdays. If you don't mind the expense, it's definitely very fun and I'd go back if someone wanted to experience it. read more

Truly one of the silliest experiences I've done and I recommend anyone looking for a fun adventure a chance to go here. They just updated their show and tickets were about $60 for me (used a promo code like bday25), but you're paying for an experience. The show was so fun, swept with different opposing factions, betrayal, and 11/10 combat. It was riveting to watch the men joust and battle and they really got into it. My one suggestion was that it was hard to hear what the king and queen were saying at times. I know you're not going to medieval times for the food but what would a yelp review be without a description of it. We got garlic bread which was that frozen Texas toast you'd expect, tomato soup which was quite watery, chicken that was extremely moist and really seasoned well, a side of potatoes and corn (standard), and we got an eclair (it was the frozen ones I used to have as a child but it was oof). Perfect kind of place to go to with family or with friends as a silly adventure or celebration. read more

We had such a fun time tonight at Medieval Times. Our server was impressively strong and our knight was the heel of the story, which was just plain fun. Yeah, long lines, but I feel that should be expected. What I didn't expect was to (for the most part) to actually really enjoy our meal. It's not 5 star dining, but it was fresh, easy, and well prepared. I actually quite liked the chicken! At the end of the night we made a last minute souvenir purchase and the employee went out of her way to offer to wrap our drink glasses and bag them for us which made getting to the car much easier! Only con was parking. Get there early! read more

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Arts & Entertainment Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

Having never been to Medieval Times and not sure what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised by all of it. The overall experience was very enjoyable. The theater performance was really great and you can tell that alot goes into making the show a success. The meal... so much food! No utensils, be prepared to eat with your hands as they did in Medieval Times. Everything was tasty and seasoned well. A 1/2 chicken! So much meat! I couldn't quite finish all my food and they do offer a to go box. The corn and chicken were probably my best items. The 4 vs 5 stars is due to the temperature in the main room. It was very warm and took me a long time to get comfortable. Additionally, the seats are very close together and can make it challenging to eat. I'd like to recommend they put an open seat between parties/groups to help with that a bit. Definitely worth going! read more

We "JOUST" got back from another wonderful "KNIGHT OUT" at Medieval Times, Baltimore Castle. I have been here a handful of times before, and each time, we are never disappointed. This place has plenty of FREE and available mall PARKING which is a special treat! I hate the thought of paying for parking, always have. But here, you don't have to worry about that! I remember back to the first time I came here, (many years ago) and my sister told me, "just arrive with no expectations and to be prepared to not take anything too seriously!" This is probably my 4th visit to this same castle and I still heed the same advice, it's more fun that way! Price of admission has gone up since I can remember, but it wasn't in upwards of over $80 per adult ticket (after taxes & fees) like it is today so be prepared for sticker shock! The menu is the same as I remember. It always includes a starter tomato bisque, garlic toast, small 1/2 chicken with barely there breast meat, a 1/2 corn on the cob, and a seasoned, roasted potato wedge. Except for a rotation of desserts where it all depends on kitchen stock, as tonight, we each got one small chocolate eclair. I'm not a fan of eclairs, so I did not even touch it. But everything else on my plate was as expected given the mass quantities that needed to be prepared and served. Oh, I need to remind you, to further mimic times of medievalness, this place does not include silverware, so I packed my own plastic ware, courtesy of Sheets (thank you) the gas station/convenience store chain that I stopped at during my latest roadtrip! If you came ill prepared, like the rest of populace in the colosseum-type building, word on the street is that you can always ask your server, the females are called "Wenches" and they will eventually bring you your set of silverware. I chose to pack my own! But you do you, boo! The current storyline is a little over one year old across all the castles nationwide. But it takes time to write the scripts, cast the characters, and train everybody and the horses! It's a huge production, I'd say. Although new to me, this show seems to be more similar than unique to what I've experienced in the past, but the experience is always so different. At the box office, you get assigned a color and that is where you are to be seated and that is your knight cheering squad for the evening. The available colors are Green, Red&Yellow, Blue, Black&White, and Red. Tonight, we were assigned to Black& White! Yay! There is so much for the senses during this dinner and show. You get to meet the King & Queen of the castle, there is a dancing/prancing horse segment, and there is also falconry. In between the eating and the cheering and the "sporting" events, there are a couple of light moments where your knight get to personally hand out (by way of tossing into the stands) carnations to various people in the audience, my guess is the demographic that receives them are always young girls from toddler to young adult years. As history would repeat itself, my daughter was lucky to receive another carnation tonight as well! I think this small gesture is the best and I hope they never do away with this part of the show! My favorite part of the show is the jousting and the choreographed fight scenes. I never tire of them! It seems like every show, there is a different knight that comes out the sole victor, and tonight is the Red Knights turn to shine. At the end of the evening, I love that gratuities could be paid via Venmo or Ca$hApp, this way, they are not taxed. ‍ At the end of the night, all the knights in the show came out for photo ops and meet & greets! My party of three exited the castle two hours later, with bellies full, and fully satisfied with another wonderful "knight" out. I think everyone should experience this merriment of carelessness eating enjoyment with our hands and jovial tournament viewing at least once! Oh, they provided wet wipes for your hands before and after your eating enjoyment. I'm a fan! #mtfan read more

Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 5/5 I haven't been to a Medievel Times since I was a teenager. And I bought my son and some of his friends to celebrate his birthday. It was exactly the same as I remember, and as fun as I remember. This is essentially a meal and a show. Definitely look online before buying tickets as there are tons of good coupons to find. It's a set meal (tomato soup, chicken, a roast potato, and dessert) and all of it is well spiced (and the chicken is particularly great - very moist). I thought the food was delicious and one of my son's pickier friends even ate the leftovers of another guest on the way home because he liked it so much. The wait staff is very friendly, engaging both the kids and adults. There are lots of fun alcoholic drinks, most of which come in a keepsake cup. The knight battles were fun, featuring a ton of different weapons, and you also see horses and birds do some tricks. I paid a bit extra for my son to get knighted. While the knighting ceremony itself was a little underwhelming, it came with a credit to the gift shop so it was a good value. I definitely recommend this for a unique dining experience! read more

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - The arena. OFF WITH HIS HEAD - Arts & Entertainment Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

Im with a group and im still waiting on my meals. I look over the other folks im with have there corn, bread and chicken I just received mine bread is cold now . I dont like how the meal is spaced out especially if im hungry. Im just not impressed and for the money that is charged for this event it should be way better than it. The young girl in my group is still waiting for her vegetarian meal to come out this is unacceptable her meal should have be prepared with everyone else's, potato is overly seasoned and cold. This is just disappointing. ​ read more

Honestly a very fun experience to try out at least once with a group. The giant chicken leg was a pleasant dish. However, not sure it should've been as expensive based on how much food you get, but I'll chalk it up to supporting the actors and actresses and employees who do an excellent job providing an experience. read more

First time at medieval times last night! We went to the 6 PM show. The check in area can be a little congested but they move the line through pretty quickly. They recommend arriving early and you can enter the lobby area an hour before the show. If you get there early, it's pretty much standing around but you can get a drink and chill with your group and there is also a little merch store to check out. Doors opener right around show time and it was pretty organized getting in. We paid for the royalty package so we were in the second row. The three course meal consisted of tomato "bisque", garlic bread, a half chicken, corn, potato, and an eclair for dessert. No silverware, you eat with your hands but they provide plenty of wet naps. The food was pretty good, except the tomato bisque was more of a tomato broth haha. The show was really fun! Loved the choreography and the horses. Definitely a unique meal and experience. All in for this night between tickets, a couple alcoholic bevvies, and tip we spent about $220 for two people. I'm not sure the experience was worth that much but I do understand there are a lot of staff members, performers, and upkeep to be paid for for this type of show! I would come back, but I wouldn't be rushing back from a price perspective. read more

We swung by today literally 20 mins before the last show which was 5pm. It was a bit pricey but considering you are getting a show with food I think it's well worth it. The food was okay, you get a tomato soup, garlic bread, a huge piece of chicken which was moist, a corn which was delicious and a piece of a potato which was really good as well. The show has a mix of horse trick and at the end you get the knights fighting one another which was great. My two kids stayed still for the first time ever but that was thanks to the show. I definitely recommend it at least for a one time experience. read more

So much fun! Definitely make sure to dress up and be enthusiastic, it makes it ten times better! read more

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Chicken - Arts & Entertainment Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

A group of 4 of us have made this an annual tradition around the new year. We went this past week for the 4th year in a row and it did not disappoint. The castle opened 1 hour before show time, I feel like this is a shorter time than previous times but maybe it depends on the day. On a Friday evening, the theater was about 80% full of customers. We had a great spot with the black and white knight. I love watching the horses and of course the competition. This is a bit pricey but with one of their regular-running coupons, it makes the price a bit better. It is definitely a nice treat. The food is better than average - you get tomato soup and a piece of toast as an app; half chicken, half corn on the cob, and half a potato for dinner; the standard desert is an éclair but I requested the alternative which was an orange italian ice stick. Being at a mall, there is plenty of parking, however it may not be close, depending on how busy the mall is the day you go. read more

I thought this experience was fantastic. Only reason I'm giving four stars is I couldn't hear at times. I still cheered and yelled like it's my job and had a great time. I came around 6:15 to grab a drink and look around. Castle is very cool! Then everyone gets called in by status:VIP to regular entry and team color. I didn't think there was going to be anything vegetarian but was surprised. I had a veggie hummus plate and huge veggie stew that lasted me for three days. The show was awesome and our server was great. I'd go again to take other friends to this unique experience. read more

The level of the sound system during the show has got to be illegal. Make sure you bring good noise reduction headsets and earplugs or you will lose some hearing read more

Was pleasantly surprised at our experience at Medieval Times! Expectations were somewhat low going in, and I will say the bar experience on arrival was to be desired. We ordered chilled shots for our friend's birthday, and the bartender poured them each individually instead of doing all at the same time which took for ever. (We also ordered lemon drops, and the bartender definitely did not know how to make them so we had to tell her the recipe). We also felt like drink options (sizes, cups, etc) weren't really explained to us and the drink menu was not super informative either. However, after finally getting our drinks and getting seated, we had a great time! The food was surprisingly good (how do they get that chicken so juicy?!) although the dessert also left some to be desired. (An eclair that feels like it was just defrosted). Overall a fun time and dinner experience that's worth a shot at least once! read more

Very entertaining ! Dinner and show good combination. The cost for me and my group was $69 per person. We saw the battles between the knights and introduction of the queen and noble court. When we sat down there were different colors flags. The colors represented the different knights. I was blue. The flags allowed you to cheer your knight on. Also , the performances of the horses were good! They bowed, pranced and danced. The food was well seasoned and delicious! First start out with garlic bread and tomato soup. Then chicken and buttered, sweet corn and seasoned potato. Very good! Dessert was an eclair. The servers were dressed accordingly for that time period and very accommodating. Alcohol was extra and upon request. Great family outing. read more

We did not realize that this location was located in a mall. Alarm bells should have went off when we saw guards at every entrance. After the performance (it was amazing and good was meh), we were exiting when people started running and screaming. THERE WAS A SHOOTING at Burlington right next to Medieval Times. The mall security did NOTHING to help the flow of traffic so we sat in the parking lot for 2 hours shaking!!!! What's worse is that the mall continued to let more people in without letting anyone know, which added to the parking chaos!!! read more

I had never been to medieval times before and wasn't sure what to expect. Admittedly medieval themed events and activities are not my jam as a boy MOM I knew I had to go because my kids were so excited. I'm glad I went because we had a blast. As soon as you cross the threshold from the mall into the medieval times event center you were transported into a medieval world, all of the employees who work there are enthusiastic and really seem to enjoy what they do. The show was phenomenal. It was the perfect blend of entertaining and fun. The thing I was most surprised by was the food y'all the chicken was so tender and cooked perfectly. The food was seasoned really well for our meal. We were given tomato soup AKA " dragons blood", roasted chicken, Potato wedges, and corn aka "dragon scales" !!! You are encouraged to use your hands to eat the meal. You're given plenty of wet wipes to keep yourself clean throughout the courses. If you love to shop and want to capture some of the medieval nostalgia, there are booths that you can buy merchandise from . They also have a bar with lots of different drink options and restrooms on site. Overall, this is a really fun experience that I would recommend to anyone who was looking to try something different. read more

You know what... i had a GREAT time at this place!! But you have to want to be there and engage to really enjoy it. It was a mini girls day with my sister and oldest daughter and I want to go back. The food was okay. It's medieval times so you don't get utensils lol... but it was cool... our waiter was the bomb dot com!! One thing i would change about this place is their microphone system... I may have given them 5 stars had I been able to hear everything they were saying... it sounded VERY muffled during the show... This place is a little expensive... but it's more of an experience type of place and the experience would have been much better had we been able to hear them better. Would I go back? Yes. read more

Chicken and dragons blood soup were good and plenty of it. Service was prompt. Good show and fun atmosphere for kids of all ages. Went with several folks who were first timers. Several of us had been years ago. Nice for a family outing. Service charge to change reservations. No ticket refunds but exchanges for goods or bar. read more
