Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament

I visited the Medieval Times in Lyndhurst and had such a blast!! I even received a flower from our knight 🥰 I loved the four-course dinner and loved cheering on for our team with the Yellow Knight! 🛎️ Service: Kevin was our host for the evening and he was excellent and attended to everyone’s orders very well. He hustled and helped out everyone in our area so I give him credit for all the work he did tonight! The staff was kind enough to direct me to the bathroom as the building was fairly big so I got lost a few times 😓 My bf and I shared the vegetarian and the chicken meal which as a couple who rarely eats meat, it was meaty and tasteful. We shared the potatoes which were both served with the chicken AND vegetarian dish, beans and rice, corn on a cob which was very buttery and flavorful. I had a serving of the coffee which I always like coffee anyways. I was impartial over the eclair, tomatoes soup and garlic bread as they just tasted like a normal grocery store recipe. It still tasted delicious as I love a good garlic bread and tomato soup 🥫 💰 Price: The price was alright considering there was food and show. The drinks, as well as the picture when you enter the building were expensive. However, considering you get to keep your glass as a souvenir and just pay for refills, the pricing made sense. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I’m really looking forward to coming back! Cheers! 🍻 Love, Nadine 🥰🌸

We gifted my dad tickets to Medieval Times and our family had such a fun time! We really weren’t sure what to expect coming in, but were pleasantly surprised how great the experience was for all ages. We happened to be the first ones in line , which was great because the seats are first come, first serve on group sizes, so we had the best seats in the house. While the food wasn’t necessarily gourmet, it was better than most amusement park food, so we couldn’t complain. Our wench, Denise, was great and happy to accommodate us with utensils when we asked. We had fun cheering for the green knight, and came home with a souvenir stein and cute family picture. A great experience all around!

Such an unusual experience — especially for families! If your kids love horses, this is double the fun — our girls absolutely loved the horses, and the boys were thrilled by the knights and battles. For adults, it’s nice that you can order alcoholic drinks (though they took forever to arrive — we almost watched the whole tournament before the drinks came! 😅). As for the food: they serve chicken and a tomato “soup,” which honestly tastes more like warmed tomato juice than an actual soup. The chicken was tender and juicy, but the potatoes weren’t great, and the corn was a bit tough. The dessert — éclairs — were disappointing, not worth trying. Still, as an overall experience, it was really interesting and unique. It can get very loud, but the atmosphere is fun and full of energy. The horses look healthy, and it’s obvious the battles are staged, so no worries if someone is sensitive about that. There are also plenty of souvenirs to take home. Definitely worth visiting once for the experience! 🐴⚔️

Fantastic entertainment, convenient location, free parking, big portions so go there hungry. Friendly, fast & efficient service, clean toilets, well organized. The performances are amazing, great horsemanship & battle skills.

I've been coming here since I was a kid. Every few years we go for my birthday and have a blast. The dining and concessions staff is friendly and make every effort to get you hyped up for the action. The performers are great at what they do and make their combat look as realistic as they can. Where it falls apart for me is the food. But not in the fact that it's bad. Is that the portions are progressively getting smaller. In years past, the soup would fill the entire bowl. The chicken was a whole Cornish hen back in the day, then a half a chicken, and now you're getting a breast and a leg. And dessert has been pared down from a sizeable apple turnover to a one-bite eclair that was still frozen when our section was served. Don't get me wrong, most of the food is delicious for what you pay, but it's just incredibly disappointing to see that it's fallen off so hard. Most likely due to economic factors. One additional note about alcohol purchases. There is NO option to get your drink in a normal glass. You are REQUIRED to get your alcoholic beverages in a souvenir glass/mug. The glass in my photo with a Sam Adams Oktoberfest cost a startling 26 dollars.

Our Grandsons 11th Birthday party 🎉 was Awesome, Amazing 😍 He love the atmosphere, horses, bird's and the entire Staff really does a fantastic job with everyone in attendance. We have been going here for 20+year's and it never gets old.!!! We love this place great family fun and entertainment.!!! 😍

I loved the ambience, the tournament, and the food was surprisingly good. You get a half rotisserie chicken, half of a seasoned baked potatoe, seasoned corn on the cob, and for dessert you get an eclaire..which I didnt care for. Let me note that the service was also A1. What I didnt like was the drinks sold at the bar... I had a Pina Colada, but all it is, is food coloring, water and sugar. You dont taste any liquor, pineapple or coconut in this drink, and I'm sure every other "flavor" is like that, but they're are trying to sell the glasses and thats how they get you. You're better off passing on the bar..unless you just get a Beer. The lemonade that comes with your meal is pretty good, so save your money and skip the bar. This place is good for family fun, or a fun date night.

Sorry for blurry pictures! Great for celebrations or a family/friend event. My sister has taken me here twice and we love the whole idea of dinner and a show. All the employees here make this place! Well done for the dedication you all put for everyone! Food tasted great this day! Children under 3 are free but sit on your lap. Chairs are spacious so there was no problem. We had Ellie served us and she was so nice.

The experience at Medieval Times was a total blast, largely thanks to the show being so incredibly interactive. We were seated in the Green Knight's section, and he was a powerhouse of energy--he spent the whole night engaging with his audience and making sure we were the loudest section in the arena. It's hard not to get swept up in the excitement when your knight is playing to the crowd with that much charisma; he truly made the spectacle feel personal. Watching him gallop past on those majestic horses was truly a highlight; the animals were absolutely stunning, moving with a grace and power that made the jousting feel surprisingly real and regal. The service was superb, (thanks Francis) with our server handling the "no utensils" chaos like a seasoned pro, and the food portions were frankly gigantic. I'm pretty sure they served us half a forest's worth of chicken, and by the time the potatoes hit the plate, I felt like I needed my own squire just to help me carry the leftovers out. You definitely won't leave hungry, though you might leave with a newfound respect for anyone who had to eat like a king every day. The only part of the evening that felt like a true highway robbery was the gift shop, where the souvenirs are priced at "royal treasury" levels. The plastic swords and light-up trinkets are ridiculously expensive--you'll need a small chest of gold bars if you plan on taking a piece of the Middle Ages home with you. Despite the pricey plastic, the energy of the Green Knight and the sheer amount of food made it a legendary night out!

Am I a 35 year old who has never been to Medieval Times in her life until two weeks ago? Yes. Did I make plans to spend New Year's Eve at Medieval Times because I am a tired Millennial who lives for nostalgia? Also yes. All jokes aside, I can finally say I have experienced the greatness that is Medieval Times. You know what they say: better late than never! However, my first experience here was not the best, albeit we did go during a peak holiday and I think that's why my time here was affected so much. First, the good: The show itself was fantastic, as was the food. Actually, I am quite shocked by how decent the food was. The tomato soup was alright (we didn't get much of it), but the main meal of chicken, corn, and potatoes was actually quite tasty, and there was so much of it that I could have taken an extra meal home if I wanted to. (Although the coffee at dessert time was the literal worst cup of coffee I've ever drank in my life, lol.) When I was a kid, I would have been repulsed by the notion of eating with my hands - as an adult, I was more than happy to play along. In addition, the show really was a grand time - I give the stunt actors so much credit for doing all these things on horseback, with weapons, in a sandpit. Let's all raise a pint of mead for the actors at Medieval Times, as they are often the butt of 'newly minted actor' jokes but it actually takes quite a bit of skill and finesse to pull of some of these feats! However, for all the fun and deliciousness that was the actual show, the elements surrounding it are what give me pause, and ultimately lead to a lower review. As I stated, we did attend on New Year's Eve at the last show, and my goodness, it was a full house. (Who would have thought Medieval Times would be on the list of so many people, adults and kids alike?) I completely acknowledge that the place was likely overfilled and understaffed, but that honestly played a small part of our issue. Our main problem was that we purchased VIP tickets and were not given the seats that we paid for. We paid for the Queen upgrade which specifically states 'best seats in the house,' which is described at "VIP first row in any section or 2nd row center section." When we went to sit down, our seats were in the nosebleeds - all the way up top. This is clearly not what we paid for, so my cousin (who is an assertive gay) put his foot down until someone helped us. We had to speak to three or four people before someone begrudgingly relented to sit us in a front row seat (of which there were several open set ups, mind you.) It was a little embarrassing to make a statement, but quite frankly, he was right and we did not get paid we paid for initially. The rest of the night was kind of tense after that and it did put an overall damper on our experience because we felt bad for making a scene - but again, nosebleed seats are not what you pay extra for. The other big issue was there was one one bartender for an entire section of people, and he lacked ANY sense of urgency despite the fact that it was a full house. He took his sweet time taking drink orders and did not get to us until the last 15 minutes of the show, literally. Again, we had to go up to the bar ourselves and order drinks. After speaking with the bartenders twice and insisting that the waiter was NOT getting to our table, the bar also relented and we were able to purchase a glass of wine for ourselves. I think this was a perfect storm of things that ultimately lead to our experience. I would return here again on a quieter night for the food and fun, and I would love to take my nieces and nephew here. However, the staff at Medieval Times Lyndhurst should know better when it comes to seating people for VIP. Ending on a positive note, our server Deborah was extremely efficient and pleasant throughout our whole experience! Thank you, Deborah!

An interesting experience overall seemed mainly to aim at families with kids and couples (lots of birthdays were celebrated). The performers and the energy of the crowd were great, but it wasn't quite my cup of tea. I was hoping for more emphasis on story and plot, but it leaned more toward watching the knights compete in games and challenges. The food was simple but filling. Shout out to the hawk show which was the highlight for me. Tip: Bring hand sanitizer. As others have mentioned, they don't provide utensils -- no spoon for the soup or fork for the chicken -- so you'll be eating with your hands.

First time here in about 30 years went for my kids birthday. It was very enjoyable and we had a blast and lots of fun. The food was good and the portions were big and very filling. The staff was friendly and service was excellent A great atmosphere and excellent show

Medieval times has always been a family favorite, my parents use to take us when young and now we passing the torch to the next generation of my household. I went to this location for the first time in years since becoming an adult and some things are just as good as I remember while others could use some improvement. We decided to get the VIP package and celebrate big for my sister's bday. Pros: the food tastes really good (specially their tomato soup) and the portions are still decent, I couldn't finish my whole chicken lol, but they got us a to go box which was nice and convenient. You eat very well, the dessert was also pretty good, so overall you end up pretty full. You get a choice of water, lemonade or Pepsi as your drink, and free refills. The seating; obviously you want a middle section where you have the best view of the tournament but honestly, no matter where you sit, you have a pretty good view of the whole show. You get a paper crown and a little flag to wave and cheer your knight with which I think it's cute. The length of the show and the actual show is excellent, very entertaining! Pre and post show is also pretty cool, the ambiance is nice and many opportunities to take photos there, explore the little shop and get some drinks. The bathrooms are accessible and CLEAN! Our service was nice, and she was working very hard, it's always nice when the employees are attentive and kind. Now unfortunately there were some cons that were a bit annoying, and they go as followed ; The timing of the dinner vs the actual show, While I love a good dinner and a show, I found it really hard to cheer for my night and be part of the crowd as a whole while shoving corn down my throat. At times I felt like I was gonna choke while chewing on some chicken and yelling NOOO as my knight was being stabbed. So I had to choose between eating or being present. When I stopped eating and focused on the show, the rest of my food got cold ... I think the most annoying part was ordering drinks from the bar. I ordered a virgin piña colada and paid right away. Not only did my drink take soooo long to come, but it was no longer frozen, it wasn't the creamy sweet tasty drink I remember loving, instead it was syrup watered down with barely any ice, absolutely gross AND NOT CHEAP. I was so disappointed. When I got the attention of the server to possibly change my drink for anything else, she told me that the bar was backed up so they were not gonna come back in .... BUT THEY SURE took my money immediately after I first ordered so why not let me know before hand and let me decide if I still wanna order? The lady then proceeded to tell me that since they were not coming back with drinks because of their backup, I had a chance to exchange my drink if I went to the bar myself. So during this whole interaction, I had no idea my Knight was eliminated, like what? I missed it?... followed by missing even more of the show to leave the room to head to the bar to exchange the very mediocre drink I received. I love medieval times and I probably always will since it's attached to so many good memories, but little details like these, does leave me with a slight dissatisfaction. The show was still fun and my family still had a great time and I think it's a very enjoyable time, wether is w friends, family or couples and everyone should get to experience it at least once but if possible, more!

I came here on a field trip when i was a child and always remembered how good the food was here. It was a fun experience and very memorable. Finally came again as an adult and the food is still good but definitely different. The soup is now a tomato soup. Either way very good. Def bring hand wipes, tissue and hand sanitizer. They don't provide utensils. The staff here is so nice and in character. They offer reg and vegan options. The knighting ceremony is awesome and so are the pics they take. My family can't wait to come back

My friends and I went really hard for this. I went for a birthday and we got dressed up and everything. It was WAY more fun than I expected! You get a four-course meal, and you eat it with your hands which I didn't expect, but it gave a more " medieval times era" effect. The alcohol glasses you buy you actually get to keep! And the show is pretty interactive, as some of the audience gets to participate. This is really one of those things that it is what you make of it. It's family friendly, but it's also filled with lots of adults too. I would come back and do this experience, but not very often. It truly is an experience. Tips for those coming from New York without a car -- we took NJ transit to get here. The bus left us about a block away!

Honestly the food here is pretty frickin good and the drinks are yummy. The servers are awesome and the show is okay - it's a little meh. Anyway, highly suggest for a big group, it's super fun to get out and have a weird time while eating with your hands.

We gifted my dad tickets to Medieval Times and our family had such a fun time! We really weren't sure what to expect coming in, but were pleasantly surprised how great the experience was for all ages. We happened to be the first ones in line , which was great because the seats are first come, first serve on group sizes, so we had the best seats in the house. While the food wasn't necessarily gourmet, it was better than most amusement park food, so we couldn't complain. Our wench, Denise, was great and happy to accommodate us with utensils when we asked. We had fun cheering for the green knight, and came home with a souvenir stein and cute family picture. A great experience all around!

Our party of 4, friends celebrating multiple birthdays, attended Medieval Times in Lyndhurst, NJ, last Friday. We arrived a little bit after 6pm, parked the car, and got on a line that moved very quickly to check in and be assigned our knight colors. We took a group photo (which we later purchased in a nice quality commemorative folio), and browsed all of the fun shops. Swords, daggars, crowns, goblets, statuettes, plushies... options for all. All of the staff were very nice and accommodating. We cheered for the blue knight from table 9, which provided a nice view directly across the area to the King and Queen. Our server, Hannah, was brilliant. SHe remembered all of our names and had our section cheer for our birthdays. The tomato bisque, garlic bread, and roasted chicken were delicious. I liked the potato, corn, and eclair, as well. I loved the meade we enjoyed with souvenir glasses (for an added fee). The show was fantastic! The horses appeared well cared for and were impressively trained. I loved the falconer experience. And the knights were so fun, too. My friend caught a flower from the blue knight. I enjoyed the diversity of the cast, too. After the performances, we were able to take photos with the knights and browse the shops again. We never felt rushed. All in all, we had a wonderful time!

I never thought I would enjoy shows like this bc from what I Thought... I wasn't so much into medieval shows BUT! But!! It was one of the greatest shows I've ever watched and it has stuck in my memory bc it was that good!' We went w a school and the kids AND adults were truly amazed And so enthusiastic about the show! Great great actors and actresses and very well taken care of service! Very friendly and professional staff and just a great place to take your friends, children, grandchildren, grandmother, grandfather bc it's a place for literally everyone that will enjoy! The food was actually very tasty and delicious! At first , I thought the prices were too high, but with the food and the amazing and long show they put on, every dollar was so worth it! So yes! Just go and you'll be amazed and happy you did! Highly recommend and Suggest!!

I celebrated a family birthday here and I can say everyone enjoyed it! I wish I went as kid, even though I acted like one!! The staff were superb and very attentive in each section. When the food was served, everybody came out in a line like the scene from beauty and the beast. Our server, Jennifer, was THE best! Always met with a smile and cheer Now the FOOD! Eater beware, there is no utensils and everybody ate like a savage, but I'd say they aren't needed because the chicken was finger licking good, falls off the bone. The roasted chicken was by far the best I think I've ever had. Dinner started off with some nice tomato soup and a slice of garlic bread, followed by half a roasted chicken, corn on the cob, half a roasted potato, and finished with a chocolate eclair. We also got a specialty piece of cake with our celebration package upgrade. We bought a souvenir drink and a bottle of wine to enjoy the show. There is a gift shop with a bunch of cool little figurines. We ended up buying a sword in the stone. All of the merchandise was reasonable, but price expectation for an event as such reflects. Especially the swords and knives. Now for the SHOW! Everyone played their part to a T, the knights were very interactive, and obviously the queen stole the show. The falcon flight was interesting to see him takeoff, and we also enjoyed the horse tricks and jousting tournament.

Definitely a unique experience that I'd recommend others to experience at least once if they have the chance. I surprised my partner with a trip here for their birthday and they absolutely loved the show from start to finish. I loved watching the show with the beautiful outfits, horses and medieval time decoration all around. It seemed well-organized and we were able to find our seats with no issues. Also, fortunately, the jousting wasn't too loud or overwhelming with sharp "cling clanging"or dragging metal sounds. The actors were great as well and it was nice seeing them have fun along the way too. Overall, we had a great time cheering for our knight and horse and the lively atmosphere made it even more fun! The ticket price is around $60-$70 per person and the experience itself is great but I do wish either the tickets cost less or the food tasted better. The food was nothing special, just a part of the overall experience. Both my partner and I did not like the food, so I'd recommend eating a little beforehand to avoid being hungry during the show just incase.

Had a really good time! We were assigned to root for the green knight who ended up being evil. Show was very well done with excellent play fighting and tricks from the animals, the horses and the falcon. Food was very average. As they advertise the meal is served without utensils like in actual medieval times. The tomato soup was nice and warm. The chicken and potato were seasoned well. The dessert was a bit disappointing, a chocolate eclair. I appreciated the coffee offered at the end of the meal. In general the food was very adequate, nothing exceptional. The experience is mostly about the knights and the show. Overall had a great night! Very entertaining. One tip for anyone coming during the summer - bring a sweater or a layer because the AC makes the stadium a bit chilly.

Went for a 13th birthday of my cousin great times omg!!!! Food was very good drinks were on the expensive side but it's the collective cup it's soup full course dinner dessert coffee and beverage choice!! Good family fun and clean bathrooms!!

I love it here, have been 2 times as full adult. Would go back again for the ambiance, the hawk, and the bar.

This place was one of my favorite places as a little girl, and it definitely still is fun as an adult educator. The staff here are outstanding and I am floored that they take unbelievable caution with food allergies here, it was a relief to be able to enjoy a modified version of the same meal everyone else was enjoying. Excellent job by the kitchen and servers (was it the best meal i ever had? No but again the effort to make all guests comfortable was amazing). The knights are definitely the stars of the show and I was lucky enough to see my knight win! I was a little surprised how pricey tickets are but you are seeing "dinner theater " and in a tech crazy world it's great to have a place all about being present in the moment.

The food is very tasty. My favorite was the tomato soup and chicken. They serve the food during the show. The show was also great. I like the show ambiance too. You also get to choose what you want to drink. Another thing is that when it's over, you can take food home which in my opinion is great service.

This was a fun and unique experience! My friends and I got really invested in the challenges even thought it's obviously scripted. The food was also surprisingly better than expected. I think its better to come in with no expectations so you can be surprised. Pro tip: They say to get there early to roam the castle but there's not too much to see, it's just a bunch of booths to buy merchandise.

I went here for my birthday celebration and I was truly blown away. The performance was incredible not to mention the horsemanship and knights. I was really impressed by their talent and ability to really get the crowd riled up! Our server was also super friendly and very attentive to any of our needs. He even gave me a bday shout out which was so thoughtful. Overall, this is such a great experience. I'll be back for sure.. Until the next joust.. lol

What a fun place for the family, and everyone!!! We came here on a Saturday for a 2pm event. Highly recommend getting there early for the purpose of exploring the place. Also, seating starts 20 minutes before the event starts. The 4 course meal was delicious and filling. They have a general feast, and also a gluten free and vegan option. The stars were truly the servers; they get the kiddos and everyone else into the show. They are quite attentive. The actors are quite good at their trade. Tip is not included in your ticket fyi; so do please tip. Parking is free and on premises.

My partner recently surprised me with a trip to Medieval Times, and to say I didn't know what I was in for would be an understatement. I had only vaguely heard about it before this past weekend, so I was going in almost completely blind. To say I had the time of my life would also be an understatement. The whole experience was hilarious. A giant castle-shaped building appearing out of nowhere on the horizon. Walking in and getting a crown placed on my head. Knights! Royalty! Horses! JOUSTING?? It just kept getting better and better. I would say the food was decent, the only part of the whole night that didn't totally wow me. The servers, however, were outstanding. I was amazed watching this army of waiters feed an entire arena of people a five course meal simultaneously. A night here is perfect for anyone. I can't think of a better place to bring your kids, and it's perfect for a date night if you're the kind of people that don't take yourselves too seriously.

First time at a Medieval Times and I can't believe what I was missing! The most impressive thing that Medieval Times does is absolutely stays on theme on scale with incredible execution. They totally have the service down plus good food and great drinks. Medieval Times doesn't take itself too seriously, but stays on theme and I loved being for the yellow knight! We lost - but had some great drinks and delicious chicken and soup. The portions were all perfect for a late lunch after a very tall frozen cocktail. You can have NA or alcohol added to the frozen drinks, and I got the mango with some rum. Our service was fantastic and honestly, I was expecting to not care about the food so much, but the tomato bisque was so good, our server gave me some more. I loved the chicken. It was a perfectly cooked chicken portion and it was so tasty. The show itself was SO impressive. The horses all looked so good, the battles were fun, AND the story was great to follow. This is such a cool thing to do for a celebration, birthday, large group and now my goal is to go to EVERY Medieval Times locations around the country. Bravo!

Drove from The Bronx to NJ just to get here. My family and I had a great time! It took a while to get to the fights, but the fights were epic if you were there. The place itself has a lot of people, especially in the arena you go in to watch the fight, the place was bright and definitely packed. The garlic bread they served us mixed with the tomato sauce is too good, you should really try that if you get the chance.

We came to celebrate my friend's birthday, it was a fun experience! Food was decent, definitely more about the show. The knights and king/queen didn't break character the whole time. It was an action-packed show, would definitely recommend especially for families with kids.

The new show is still a great experience! The food is delicious ! However , they had the speakers up so loudly during the middle of the show when the cage was put over the stage. We had to all put ear plugs on. And our Apple Watches were telling us that the noise is dangerous and damaging to the ears. We ended up leaving early

I had an amazing time here as a kid and I enjoyed it even more as an adult. We recently had a friends birthday party here and as a group of ten adults - we had a blast. The tournament was alot of fun and all of the actors and staff perform perfectly throughout the evening. The horses and falcons look to be under great care. The food wasn't bad either. We left full and theres vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options now. Plenty of drink options as well. Its really rare to see theme attractions like these maintained in the NJ area and I was so impressed to see how clean and updated the establishment was. parking was easy and the location is easy to get to from NYC. We had alot of fun and I really enjoy that there's a queen now and a new plotline.

I've been wanting to this for years now and finally had a chance to with a small group of friends. We were filled with excitement as we pulled into the parking lot and got a view of the iconic castle shape of the place. There was a line out the door, which moved quickly. Upon checking in, we were given our crowns, which were red and gold. We were then seated in the upper level of the Perelada section. Shortly after that, our waiter came around to take drink orders. I went with the lemonade, which was quite sweet and refreshing. The first course was Tomato Soup with Garlic Bread. The soup was okay, but a bit lacking in flavor. I did enjoy the garlic bread though, as it was lightly toasted, buttery, and full of garlic taste. For the entree, we were served a humongous chicken breast, corn on the cob, and potato. The chicken was nice and tender, well seasoned. The veggies were cooked perfectly and soft. We were happy to find out that coffee and chocolate eclair was offered for dessert. Coffee was from Dunkin Donuts and pretty good. The eclair was not the best, and seemed to be slightly stale, but appreciated that there was something sweet to end the meal. The space was airy and spacious, as well as decorated with much fanfare. I really enjoyed the show full of gorgeous horses, dialogue between the King and Queen, brave knights valiantly fighting, and hyped up music. One of the dappled pale grey horses even did a beautifully graceful dance. There were games, followed by jousting. Our knight lost in the first round, but came back to fight during a later round, however the green knight prevailed. Service was solid. Our waiter was very personable and funny. We were well taken care of throughout the evening. I'm so glad I was able to experience this with good friends!

I thought this place shut down! Haven't been back since middle school and took the chance to take my 4yo. It was just as much fun as when I last went. People were so excited to get into their seats. Loved seeing people dressed up for the occasion. It was nice to know we didn't have to make a line at the bar because we were able to place order from our seats. The food was sub par but that was expected. Cost for 3 even with a 15% discount (from their site) IMO still expensive but we did upgrade and bought extra things.

My daughter and I were there on December 20, 2025. Really enjoyed ourselves. It was the 3 time for me and the seventh time for my daughter. Can't wait to go back. Everyone was so great that works there. Very clean place.

Great atmosphere and great food! The chicken was very moist and flavorful . Our server was very attentive and friendly! It's been over 10 years since I went last time and it's just as exciting ! My kids had a great time . Cant wait to go back next time !

There's not a lot of other businesses that you can really compare to Medieval Times and for that reason it really stands on its own as an experience worth having at least once. It's one of the few things that can be fun for all ages. Yes it's scripted and can be a bit hokey but that's part of the entertainment. You have a mixture of people from families, school trips, to entire groups of grownups going to the extent of dressing up in their ren faire attire. Food is what you'd expect it to be when you're serving in bulk, so surprisingly good for what it is. The bar provides some additional social lubrication for you to really get into cheering on your knight!

I went on March 16, 2025 for the 1:30 showing. Everything was better than expected!!! The voices.... The choreography!! Omg queen was beautiful and I loyally cheered for her!! See Ian at the gift shop for the full experience. My lord never broke character for even syllable!! Loved it!!!! For Nevara!!!!

Thirty years is a long time, but that's how long it'd been since I set foot inside Medieval Times. The first time was a 6th grade class trip (best. Trip. Ever.) The latest was with my wife's nieces and nephew. This is a great place to visit for all ages, but it's definitely more fun with kids in tow. Seeing their faces light up as they cheer on live jousting is priceless (especially in the current gaming/'Game of Thrones' era). The staff do a really great job of riling up the crowds. Upon first entering the castle, there's a large hallway and several smaller passages filled with various exhibits, merchants, and a bar. Yes, they sell swords. The metal ones range from 100-700 Gold Pieces (or "dollars," if you prefer). The blades on the weapons are dulled, but these are VERY heavy items, so probably not a good idea to buy a spiked mace for your hyperactive 8 year-old. The doors to the actual tournament arena open about 30 minutes before the action starts. The tournament's about 2 hours long, and featured a (surprisingly) delicious multi-course meal of "Dragon's Blood" (tomato bisque), garlic bread, a whole cornish hen, baked potato, corn on the cob and "Ye Olde Pepsi" (with refills). Bar service is extra. Dessert was a chocolate eclair. For those with dietary restrictions: This place has you covered too. And of course, the best part: You get to eat everything with your hands and zero judgement. Our wench was Isabela. Very lovely and engaging woman. She told me they re-tool the show every 5 or 6 years or so, which is probably how long I'll wait to come back here again. The prices are...not cheap. Paying for priority seating is worth it (we were close enough to practically reach out and touch our knight), but if you're coming here for the first time with a big family, be prepared to spend a paycheck. If I had to offer one tip for improving the show, it would be to include a jumbotron in the center of the arena to help highlight which characters are talking when. It was hard to follow the story when people were speaking with their backs turned, on the far side of the arena. Y'know, for people who watch Medieval fighting tournaments for the story. The King may return...

I highly suggest buying the VIP package. My little guy couldn't view the show. Sat in the back with rows of seats with and without flags infront of us. First come first serve is BS. It doesn't matter.

We've been here a few times to the different castles. It's always always a great experience for the family dinner and a show. Great service good food nice cast. I'm sure we'll return again.

Amazing food and service! The staff was super friendly and nice! The show was also incredible! I really enjoyed my experience here and recommend this place to others!

We went to Medieval Times last week. MT decorated a bit for the holiday season, but much of what I remembered from when I last was here twenty years ago remained the same (a good thing). You still get the same camp aspect of dinner theatre, the showmanship of the actors and horse riders, a falcon let loose in the arena with sharp talons and all, the immersive experience with crowd participation and eating with your hands, etc. I'd say they've only improved with better meal options for people with custom dietary needs - gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian. Shout out to our server, Isabella! It's family friendly fun, and great for kids and adults who are kids at heart.

I had not been back to medieval times in about 12 years and I can tell you nothing has changed. Is that good or bad ? I don't know , you decide . I brought my family here as no one had ever been here and I thought it would be a fun time . I bought the tickets online and chose the first upgrade that gives you the VIP entrance and better seats (I think it's only worth it if you go on a crowded day ). The tickets are up there in price so make sure you google for any discounts , I got 20% off each ticket and it sure makes a difference. It was 12 of us so it adds up and we went on a Sunday . They let you in an hour in advance. It was a quick and easy check in . We were able to go in through the VIP lane , we were given a VIP badge, lanyard and a paper crown upon check in. You get to take a picture of your group upon entering but that has a cost of $23 for 1 picture and $32 for 2. I did end up getting one to have a memory of this moment. Once you're inside you are transported to a different time and it is a cool place - lots of old artifacts , all the staff are in character , there are many things for purchase and there's a bar ! I got a light up souvenir cup with a lime margarita and my husband got a mug souvenir with beer , $10 refills on any souvenir cup - seems like a good deal to me. Our tickets were for 1:30pm and they let us in to the main show area at around 1:20pm, the show started at 1:32pm. We were given tomato bisque and toasted garlic bread as our first course - both delicious & just how I remember it. Then we were given roasted chicken , corn and potato - the chicken was okay , it tasted like the ones they sell at a super market (nothing special), the corn was delicious it had some sort of spicy added to it & the potato was too burnt , not crisp and tasty just burnt . The last course was a chocolate cannoli type dessert - it was pretty good. In terms of the show , it was pretty hard to hear the actors , on top of the accent they use , the sound was muffled and very hard to understand most of it . The games were nice but the fighting part was what really made the show . It's not as entertaining as I remember it or maybe I was just a little kid then so everything was amazing lol either way it was okay but nothing new . The show lasted two hours . Overall, I think it's a fun place for kids, the food is decent but they can certainly make it better and the show is average - I do feel they can improve it , it's been so many years they should invest in some high tech stuff to make it more entertaining and change it up. I would say to go at least once but I think I'm done going for now .

The staff here are Disney quality. Everyone you interact with is part of the show. They feed a lot of people, every day and night. The food is OK. The show is AWSEWOME!

I haven't done a MT experience in two decades, so I came in with zero expectations and two kids in tow. Gotta say we had a great time and this is most definitely a terrific experience for children and adults alike (though I definitely had a better time with kids tbh). We got the Queens royalty package which was worth it just for the good seats we had as part of the upgrade. The photos that were included were also a real nice plus and they turned out nicely. The show was terrific and the kids were all engaged. The crowd was raucous and really into it. The actors all did a great job and it was very entertaining from beginning to end. I like how they paced the program well based on when they served the meal. The jousting was exceptionally good and very fun to watch. As for the food it was surprisingly filling. The tomato soup was good and the garlic bread paired nicely with it. Everyone got a half chicken and it was pretty huge. There's no way a kid can eat all that but they give to go boxes so nothing to worry about there. The corn was actually tasty and so were the potatoes. The meal wrapped up with a chocolate eclair and some coffee. Note there are no utensils here so get ready to eat and drink medieval style. I think overall the experience is worth the money and the upgrade is also reasonable for the extras you get as well as the nicer seats/vantage points. I would definitely come back here again as everyone had a good time. The staff here were also very friendly and did a nice job.

Very cool experience, horses are so pretty, a great place for kids to enjoy, just glad I didn't come starving because the chicken could've been cooked longer. Overall amazing.

If you been to one, you've been to all. It has been several years since we been to this Medieval Times in NJ, but the show was very much the same as it was several years ago. Even the menu is very consistent. Nevertheless, it was very entertaining. Our daughter was so young last time we were here, it was like a new experience for her. We dressed them up in costumes and also saw many adults dressed up too. Be sure to get here at least 30 min before the show ( door opens 1 hr prior) so you can walk around, shop, get beverages, etc. The whole show lasts 2 hours. You'll get to see horses do some tricks, falcon fly around, cheer for your knight and see some jousting and duals. All this and you'll get to eat with your hands like the old days. They do give you plenty of food, so come hungry. We took our leftovers home! Here's the food menu: Non-alcoholic beverage: Pepsi, lemonade, or water Tomato bisque with garlic bread Herb chicken (thigh and leg) with 1/2 baked potato and corn - huge portion, chicken was very tender. Dessert (chocolate eclair)- not good, tasted like the cheap ones at grocery store Coffee/tea Look out for discount tickets posted on their site. You can opt of VIP seating for an extra fee. We were happy with our seats even though they weren't VIP.

Chicken was so wet but in a funny good way and wow the joust was exhilarating Good dietary options. Pescatarian pal got celery carrots and hummus

Went here for a birthday celebration and it was definitely a great time. I had way more fun than I expected so safe to say this place exceeded my expectations. One small thing is that since the theme for this place is Medieval times, there are things that you won't expect. For example the following they served (good food by the way) they don't offer utensils. You can eat everything by hand, but that's something you want to remember. Fortunately for me, I did have plastic fork and knife as I used that for my meal. The chicken, tomato soup, potato, and Garlic bread were all delicious. Also the entertainment was amazing. It helped that the table I was sitting at was representing the Black and White Knight and he won so that added more to the fun and the entertainment for the event. Overall i had a great time and looking forward to coming back here again.

We recently went to Medieval times in New Jersey to celebrate my sisters birthday. The medieval times has been for many years. It's great place to celebrate birthdays or just for a great show and a meal. The food was actually pretty good. The chicken was well seasoned and delicious. We had great service and the food and show started promptly. The show was really amazing and hasn't changed. So many photo ops as well. what's not to love about being in a castle with knights and staff dressed up like that time period.

Amazing. Great food. Great entertainment. Great acting and training of animals. Allergen friendly for most allergens, however if you are allergic to soy it will be an issue. Staff were very friendly. Seats are a bit cramped, so if you tend to need the bathroom a lot make sure to try and get an end seat.

We drove over two hours to get there. I purchased online so I just checked in when I got there. I was given two passes for the table and the ticket person gave little instruction beyond that I was at table 14. When we got to the arena the 2:00 show was leaving so we made our way to the arena, found table 14 and took a seat. We were there about five minutes, my grandson, and I, and we were confronted with a female security officer I think who in an effort to intimidate me I think told me that I was not allowed to be there and I had to leave, there was no room for explanation or conversation. So I told her I would, she laughed. I was in the middle of something on my phone so I was trying to finish that before I moved. She showed up again with two other people about 30 seconds later, raising her voice to me yet a second time telling me that I had to leave and that if necessary, she would involve other people to make me leave. This is all in front of my 13-year-old grandson. We made our way down to the entrance and stood by the rope so that we would have a good spot in the line, which is what the ad tells us, she was guarding the entrance but never mentioned to us that we were at the wrong doorway so we waited there for about 45 minutes before another employee came and told us that we were supposed to be at another stairway. Of course by the time we got there there was a large line that had formed. While we waited for the VIP people to enter, my grandson was still a little bit, shook up from the interaction as was I. We finally were allowed into the arena, got to our table and sat down in the center, which is where we wanted to be. Another employee confronted us and told us very nicely that she wanted us to move to one end or the other because there were only two of us and it would make it difficult to see the other people. I really didn't have a problem with doing that, but in the brochure it says first come first served so I guess that's not true either. As for the rest of the night, it was absolutely magical, our food server was great. The food was decent and the show was really good but the stage it was set by the early interaction was hard to shake. I couldn't wait to get out of there and drive another 2 1/2 hours to get home.

It's hokey and a little bit touristy, but if you can ignore the constant sales pitches all around you it's a fun time for you and the family. Once you get into the main event they keep you entertained for sure and surprisingly the food is pretty good. We had a great waitress, her name escapes me, they only real negative was since we were a large party we had to pre-pay our gratuity, which they didn't advised her of. Made me a little suspicious that they get ppl to double tip. Other than that we had a great time!!
