Medieval
Times is based upon authentic medieval history and the true story of a
noble family whose lineage dates back to the 11th century. It began in
1973, with two dinner/entertainment complexes located in Majorca and Benidorm,
Spain. The first North American Castle in Kissimmee, Florida opened in
December 1983 and the company has since entertained more than 30 million
visitors.
Showtimes
are year-round on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:00pm, Fridays and Saturdays
at 6:00pm and 8:30pm, and Sundays at 5:00pm. Guests are encouraged to arrive
one hour before the start of each performance. Admission, which includes
the two-hour live show, four-course feast, and two rounds of select beverages,
is $45.95 for adults and $34.95 for children (12 and younger). Discount
tickets are available for groups of 15 or more.
Besides
