Over the past few weeks, Medieval Times has been uploading videos to its YouTube channel detailing the recent reopening of several locations, and from the looks of it so far, Medieval Times 2020 is one very bizarre place to be. Plagues and medieval times go hand in hand, so it absolutely tracks that the dinner-theater chain and The Cable Guy scene-stealer, Medieval Times, has decided that the (indoor!) show must go on despite a pandemic with no end in sight. Be sure to check it out if you get a chance and let me know what you think in the comments.Photo: Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament/YouTube I will say that for the price it is an excellent night out in Southern California. It can be pricey, but if you go with someone on their birthday, you can at least get one of the tickets free (as of 2017). I highly recommend Medieval Times, as I had a total blast. My friend and I both agreed that it was a tremendous two-hour experience, with the only con being that the seats were not that comfortable. It is a lot of fun to cheer on your knight as they do battle with the other five knights of different colors.Īfter about an hour and 45 minutes, our show came to an end with an epic battle, and the whole stadium was cheering as the red knight rose victorious. We sat in the red knight area, so that is who we were cheering for. There is horse showmanship, different skill games, jousting, fighting, and lots of cheering. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I will not share too much here, but the show is pretty awesome. The food is nothing to write home about, but it did the job of providing sustenance while watching the show. There are no utensils, so you will be eating with your hands, which is fun. It is general finger foods like chicken, corn and a potato. Since this is a dinner show, I should talk about the food. It was fun because we were in the front row, which was super close to the action. I opted to upgrade to the VIP pass, which gave us early access and a few other things for $12. When it was close to showtime, we were let in. In the back, you can see the horses in their pens, which I thought was a neat touch. There is a full bar if you want to get a drink and a store where you can buy all sorts of crazy souvenirs for the show. The small room holds over a dozen Medieval torture devices, and I have to say they were pretty grotesque to read about.įrom there, I headed into the lobby to explore before the show. I am not sure why it is extra, but at least it was not a lot. Upon entering, you can pay an additional $3 to access the small museum of torture they have there. The people great you with “My Lord” and “My Lady,” and everything is just the right amount of cheesiness to be fun. There is a large parking lot behind the castle, and it is free to park for the show.Īfter arriving for the show, you get checked in and are whisked away into a magical and medieval world. After getting off on the exit, you will drive under the freeway and then see the castle about a half-mile down on the left. Medieval Times is located right off the 91 Freeway at the Beach Blvd exit. This information is from my visit in 2017.Location: 7662 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620.Cost: ~$60 – $75, free on your birthday with a paying guest though (as of 2017).Medieval Times is spectacularly awesome, and even in 2017, it is a fantastic night out. I went again on a whim though, and boy was I wrong. It was one of those places I went to a couple of times growing up but didn’t think I would enjoy as an adult. Medieval Times is a dinner theater in Buena Park that features a nightly show where there is jousting, fighting, horse tricks, and even a falcon that makes an appearance. I paid for the upgrades and all the additional expenses. Disclosure: The general tickets were provided for me.
