Cross the drawbridge and step back in time to an age of bravery and honor. Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Kissimmee is one of the most iconic attractions in Central Florida, offering a unique combination of a four-course feast and a live two-hour jousting tournament.
The Castle Experience
From the moment you arrive at the castle gates (located just off US-192), the immersion begins. We recommend arriving 75-90 minutes before showtime. This gives you ample time to explore the Hall of Arms, admire the medieval weaponry, and even get knighted by the Queen herself.
Seating is first-come, first-served within your color-coded section. Arriving early ensures you get a better view of the arena floor.
The Royal Feast
True to the 11th century, the meal is served without silverware! (Though they will provide forks if you really ask). It’s a hearty, hands-on experience that kids absolutely love.
- First Course: Garlic Bread and Tomato Bisque Soup (piping hot and delicious).
- Main Course: Roasted Chicken, Sweet Buttered Corn, and Herb-Basted Potato.
- Dessert: A pastry of the Castle (often an éclair or cookie).
- Drinks: Two rounds of non-alcoholic beverages and coffee are included.
Vegetarian/Vegan? No problem. Just let your server know when you sit down. They offer a robust vegetarian option featuring three-bean stew, brown rice, hummus, and pita bread.
The Tournament
While you eat, the arena explodes with action. Six knights—each representing a region—compete in games of skill, swordplay, and the main event: the joust. The horsemanship is genuinely impressive, featuring beautiful Andalusian stallions performing dressage maneuvers.
Is It Worth It?
For families, absolutely. The energy is infectious as the crowd cheers for their Knight (Go Red Team!). It’s loud, it’s fun, and it’s a memory your kids will talk about for years. Just remember to bring a few extra dollars for the souvenir photos and cheering flags—they are hard to resist!
