medieval times

My husband and I were celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary on march 14th and it was our 2nd trip to Medieval Times (the first time was in Orlando for our 1st anniversary). EXCELLENT SERVICE AND FRIENDLY STAFF. The experience helped make our anniversary very special. My husband and I had our names announced during the show and I will always remember that. The food was excellent, just like I remembered from the first time. I highly recommend it for any couple wanting to do something different for their anniversary. Can't wait to go again :)

We take the kids here every time we visit Atlanta. You might expect a cheesy over-priced (it is a tad on the expensive side) dinner show with mediocre food, but it's actually a great experience the whole way around. My 8 year old son is always transfixed by the horsemanship, falconry, and jousting throughout the entire meal. My 10 year old daughter enjoys it as well. This most recent trip was our first with our two year old son. We had originally made reservations for the 5:30 Friday show, but it was cancelled for some unknown reason. The only other show that was available during our stay was 8:00 on Saturday. We wearily changed the reservation because they refused to refund our tickets. But, for nearly $200, I wasn't willing to eat the cost because they decided to cancel a show. We were worried that the 8:00 show might be a little too late for the 2 year old since that was past his usual bed time. But, even he thoroughly enjoyed the experience.... and the food (which is saying something with his picky toddler palette). You have no menu options, and everyone is served the same thing. But, fortunately, there's a bit of everything being served... even your pickiest of eaters should enjoy at least some of what is being offered: tomato soup, garlic bread, a chicken quarter (always cooked to tender, juicy perfection), a BBQ rib, half a seasoned roasted potato, and an apple turnover for dessert. There is a vegetarian meal available upon request, but that's it in the way of options. My only complaint is that they really need high chairs for their smaller visitors. Medieval Times is always a two-thumbs-up night for all of our kids. Oh, and if you're military... they offer a free VIP dinner package upgrade if you purchase your tickets through ITR. This wasn't our first visit, and it won't be our last!

I expected a cheesy hour and a half show with mediocre food. The entertainment and food were great! We took our 11 year old daughter and a friend to celebrate their birthdays - they were both completely enthralled. Would highly recommend for kids of all ages!

I went to this place with a dear friend on a Dragon Con night and it was everything i had thought it would be. It was magical night and it actually felt like we were taken back in time. Kudos goes to our server Chris Powell. (Got his last name from my check stub) Entire time, he kept on in the Medieval times mode. He was charming and as enchanting as the show. Every item he served us from the menu, would be a witty item like dragon toes being served (which in actual were ribs) or blood of the dragon (which in actual was Tomato Bisque) He stayed in character making our meal and time much more enjoyable. I was happy to have him on our side. Chris is worth gold to the place and looks like someone who enjoys his work completely. Thank you Chris and thank you Medieval times for making a lovely evening

This place is simply amazing. There is a lot to see right when you walk in the door. You can have your picture made with the king, speak with the falconer, browse the gift shop, admire the décor with its armor and flags, or sit in front of the gigantic fireplace. Each area in the arena has a color and a knight to cheer for. The king is the story teller and he does a fabulous job. It is also a learning experience as you see the stages a boy goes through before becoming a knight. They show the most beautiful horses, tell the story of the falcon as you watch it glide overhead, watch the knights participate in a tournament with sword fighting and jousting and superior horsemanship. The guests are served dinner throughout and it is a tasty fare eaten with your hands. They sell souvenirs during the show and you can meet the cast afterwards. Worth every penny!

The family had a great time. We were really surprised that the food was great as well. The show was wonderful and the kids were so excited. I told all of my friends and family that they have to see the show. The children loved the fact that they were eating with their hands. The horses are huge and they are beautiful. This show will be exciting for the whole family.

We went to a Sunday matinee (2:30) and really enjoyed it. The food was good (try to play along and eat with your fingers, some sticks-in-the-mud used utensils) and the show was especially exciting. We sat in the front row, but we would have had just as much fun a row or two or three back. Remember to tip your waitstaff (serving wench) and have fun.

Medieval Times presents an amazing show of horsemanship and medieval battle complete with all the armor and swords all done on horseback! This is a glimpse into the distant past for adults and children! A fun evening or afternoon for all which stirs the imagination!

We attended this attraction as a celebration for me getting a new job and my birthday. First and foremost this is not an event to take small children as there are real time battles, swordfights, and sometimes total darkness. What you will find here is a great time and a menu fit for a king! You enter this particular establishment through the Sugarloaf Mills Mall. Once you get to the entrance you will enter into out in the court area. The court has many interesting things from real animals, to gift and souvenir shops. it has a massive fireplace and a café style seating area in the front of that. They even have an area where you can see some of the medieval torture devices used to persuade folks to renounce their beliefs and see things the Catholic Churches way. Which brings me to my next point. If I haven't said this already, I would not recommend small children to come to this event. The dungeon as it was called, was an extra fee $2.00 per person to see what the torture elements were used. Some of these are pretty gruesome so if you have a sensitivity to that kind of thing I would avoid it. Some of the pre-show functions though are geared more toward older children ages 8+. You can get knighted by the King of the Castle and get a souvenir picture to cherish the memory. The price for everything was a bit high and they tend to charge for just about everything extra, but you can get many discounts over the course of the year. They will also attempt to woo you into parting with your hard earned money once you into the court area with the gift-shops and the mandatory picture you take with the King upon entering. The meal was grand though in every way! You start with a piece of bread and a tomato bisque that is divine! This is immediately followed by them filling your beverage of choice, Pepsi, sweet tea, water or coffee. They also keep this filled throughout the event. Next is a very flavorful half chicken then if that isn't filling enough they then bring you a BB-Q rib and half of a seasoned baked potato. While you are dinning, they start the entertainment. Much of this is done by pitting different area champions against others surrounding the arena. They continue until one champion rises victorious. During the course of these "games" there are swordfights, jousting, spear throwing and precision lancing. At around the midpoint of the show they bring dessert. The "pastry" of the castle is a delicious flaky apple turnover. If you opted for a birthday package, you got a small birthday cake piece. I actually did not opt for that package and am glad I didn't because with the exception of them announcing your name the cake piece was at most two bites. As the tournament comes to a close, the waiting staff (surfs and winches) present you with a type of "bill" folder where you can leave a tip. I unfortunately didn't think to bring additional cash but it is something you might want to consider since there are many things that require it. All in all I'd say this is a fun once in a lifetime experience. It is a place to go if you are looking to be entertained for the evening and get a good meal. The price was a bit high but all in all worth it.

I recently went to Medieval Times for a birthday celebration. First off, there was a promotion that allowed me to save $40 on tickets: all I had to do was bring a non-perishable food item. Score there. Help the local food bank and my pocketbook at the same time. The show was great, wonderful for a date night, hanging with friends, or a family outing. The food was great and there was plenty of it! Just be aware, they do not give you eating utensils, so you will be eating with your hands. Not as messy as you'd think, for adults anyway. Be sure to have all the essentials if you're taking children. It might not hurt to have a small flashlight with you either. The venue is very dimly lit because of the show and sometimes you just need to see, especially if you have little ones in your group. The show was fantastic. We felt as if each actor was thoroughly in love with their job and the horses are beautiful. Very clean facility. Very friendly employees. There's plenty of staff on hand, so you don't need to worry about getting lost or not being able to find your section or a particular place in the facility. Top notch service. I would go again in a heartbeat.

I went to a special night at Medieval Times - DragonCon and it was so much fun. There was a preshow costume contest with over 100 contestants in costumes and one of the best was Iron Man. We thoroughly enjoyed the show and our serf Chris was incredible as he stayed in character and made jokes making the experience even better!! Thanks for the dragon toes and ears!!

We recently attended a function associated with Dragon-Con at the restaurant/attraction. The food was hot, delicious, and served during the show with little to no errors on the part of the staff. The sweet tea was a little on the un-sweet side which was not an issue with me but my wife prefers hers a little sweeter. The portions were plentiful. Be prepared to pay a little more for the drinks at the bar, compared to a regular bar, if you would like a souvenir glass to take home. We each purchased 2 drinks at the bar, me a beer in a stein and my wife a virgin mango daiquiri in a commemorative glass and it cost 34.00 without a tip. We also purchased the larger flags of our knight (green) which were 5.00 a piece, not too bad I guess. The show itself was an experience that was well worth all of the money we paid to attend. The Andalusians were absolutely extraordinary specimens'! I own several horses and could tell the horses were very well taken care of and they put on a fantastic show. The staff was very friendly and helpful and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. The performers were very realistic and performed their parts very well. I would definitely go back to dine and see the show again. I travel a lot in regards to my business and would like to see the other locations and their shows to compare. Some notes to consider. 1. Arrive early and meet the knights themselves 2. Arrive early to get a drink from the bar. 3. Our seating was at 8:00 PM and the show was promptly started at 8 after everyone was seated. For the show we attended they directed us to a side of the arena and then sat us in groups. 4. If you meet one of the knights prior to the show and want to sit in his area you have to ask for seating in his area.

I had a pretty good time at Medieval Times. You should know that you can only enter this location from the INSIDE of the mall. So don't waste your time parking near what appears to be the "entrance" of the castle. Moving on... I REALLY like the idea that all the employees are "in character" and call you "My Lord" and "My Lady, " even on the phone. The ticket procedure is a tad confusing but wan't a big deal. (we used Groupon, printed at home, but still had to go to the window.) We got there about 30 minutes before our dinner seating but I recommend getting there an hour before because there is plenty to do before eating. They have a bar where you can get drinks both adult and otherwise, a HUGE fireplace where you relax and drink, a large gift shop(s), actors and actress in full costume interacting with the crowd taking photos etc, entertainment: a Falconer with her live falcon, a large Owl, juggler/jester, knighting ceremonies, etc. As far as the show it as pretty good. You sit in a LARGE arena about twice as long as a basketball court. We were on the front row but I appeared that every seat is a good one. They divide the crowd into teams by color and you sit in section of the knight you will be cheering for. The show: It's a very colorful well-choroagraphed extravaganza with lots of horses, knights in armor, battles and competitions, all presented as a story. I'd say the production level is pretty high: on par with a travelling broadway/Disney show. The only drawback is, once the horses appear, it smells like horse poop in there. And the smell is pretty strong. But when the food comes out, It didn't bother me as much. As for the food -- not too shabby. You get bread, crazy-hot soup, a potato wedge, half a rotisserie chicken I think, one rib, and a pastry dessert. You also get two rounds of a beverage: soft drink, iced tea, or water. All the food was good by the chickens as especially good! Two things I didn't care: they don't give you silverware. You eat EVERYTHiNG with your hands. At first that bummed me out because I don't play that. I hate anything, wet, messy, sticky, etc. on my hands. It's just not cool with me. I'm a human -- I use flatware. But I made the smart decision to use only ONE hand and keep the other dry/clean with the ONE napkin they gave us. At the end of the dinner course they did at least give us wet wipe. Secondly, two rounds of drinks is not enough to wash all that food down. Especially in those small cups they use. For 30 bucks a head I'm thinking they can get away with unlimited soft drinks or at the very least unlimited iced tea. Long story short -- go, you'll have a good time, you'll probable leave with some food, and be sure to use some kind of discount. And don't forget to bring your own flatware or wet wipes.

Great date for my wife and I . We had a great experience . We truly felt like we were back in time . The food was very good . The drinks were ok . I had a beer and you cant go wrong with that . But my wife had a mixed drink she was just ok with.... The show was very good . The horses were beautiful x 10 . The knights are way cool . Although the Yellow Knight threw my wife the first flower (because she is so beautiful ) I thought he was flirting with her . LOL I am not mad I would have done the same thing .... That being said go enjoy yourselves .... Not recommended for first date . You have to eat with your hands ....

Bring your appetite an spirit, had a fantastic time and was truely motivated to be involved and supportive of your Knight. If you liked being a kid a eating with your hands, this is perfect, don't worry they provide wet naps. The performance is very professional, the Horses amazing and the story line entertaining. Schedule this into your next visit to Atlanta!!!
