midevil times dinner theater in CA
 
WE are thinking about going to the midevil times dinner theater in February. Is it worth the money? Is the food good? We have two girls 10 and 13.

The food is ok, served in buckets and pewter bowls. I found the faint odor of livestock a little unappetizing. The beer and wine help with that.
Two girls that age should really enoy the show and cheering for their own handsome knight to win the joust.

We did the Medieval Times outside of Washington D.C., but I imagine they are all pretty much the same. Our kids were in their upper teens at the time and I was afraid they might think it was hokey, but they both had a great time and they still talk about it even though it's been a couple years ago.
Considering the amount of food they have to prepare, we thought it was tasty and very nicely done. The menu is on their website and remember there are no utensils! The soup is served in a bowl and you drink out of the bowl and you eat the chicken, ribs and potato using your fingers.
The show is very good, too. The storyline is appealing and the horsemanship is excellent. You get to cheer on "your" knight and if your girls are lucky, they might catch one of the flowers that he tosses.
We definitely thought that the dinner show was worth the money (especially if you can take advantage of one of their frequent specials). YOur daughters will love it.

We took our whole company there two years ago...including a toddler and 4 year old. We all had a good time and enjoyed the meal and show. Just don't expect fine dining!

Went to it as a 13 year old and really enjoyed it. Definitely gimmicky but definitely worth it.

We went to the one in Orlando 2 years ago. My teens (13 & 17 at the time) enjoyed it so much, they are asking that we go to the one near us in NJ.
