Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Hanover, MD
Two thumbs up
I took my 10-yrld son and my father this last April (08)and we had a blast. We sat in second row of the Green Knights section right by the King. Every time the knights would come get the flowers from the Princess we would boo loudly for the other knights and cheer wildly for the Green Knight. It was about the third time that they came around that the Blue Knight pointed at my son, then slid his finger across his neck and then pointed back to my son. He just turned to me and we started laughing. It was the highlight of his evening. My son loved that he felt included in the festivities. The food was great, our server was awesome and the entertainment outstanding. Thanks for a wonderful time.

My group had a great time. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, and the atmosphere, and the show and tournament. The horses were exquisite and the actors were very talented. We would certainly do it again.
