Started as a dinner attraction in Spain in 1973, Medieval Times is in its 25th year and counting in North America. This entertainment venue was inspired by the true medieval tradition of royal families inviting guests to a feast and festival to watch knights compete on horseback. With nine locations in the U.S. and Canada, Medieval Times is a unique location for a variety of special events from birthday parties to bachelorette parties.
