Medieval Times Buena Park
One of America's favorite dinner attractions, Medieval Times Buena Park presents an evening spectacular of pageantry, dramatic horsemanship, breathtaking swordplay, and romance. Guests feast on a 4-course banquet served without silverware in a mock 11th-century Spanish palace, complete with red tile roofs and palm trees.
The basics
This family favorite dining experience includes two hours of medieval jousting entertainment, featuring six competing knights performing stunts with real weapons on real horses. The spectacle accompanies a 4-course meal. General admission tickets can be upgraded to include priority or VIP seating, a framed group photo, or a cheering banner in the colors of your section’s knight. The Castle also features a bar, a gift shop, a medieval torture museum, and the Hall of Arms, which displays myriad medieval artifacts.
