    Princess and Knight Training at Medieval Times

    By 60 Comments

    One of my favorite places in Chicagoland has become Medieval Times, and I love it because it makes my kids smile. We have been there a few times with them now and it really is a great price for what you get (read my review on the new show).

    Well just recently we got the chance to attend Knight Training (there is also Princess Training available) before the show and my boys had a blast! The Princess and Knight Training was a free pre-event available just for purchasing your tickets! The class is one hour before the first show on Saturday (Princess) and Sunday (Knights) for children ages 5-12.

    We walked in, went through our line and dealt with very polite and friendly associates. We had time to spare and walked around enjoying the atmosphere. I do recommend getting there early though as its nice to have some time to walk around rather than rushing right to your seat.

    Knick-Knacks to buy in the lobby:

    For Knight Training my boys went out in the arena and stood there with a wooden sword. A Knight showed them some moves and all the kids (both boys and girls were out there) worked that sword! It was a nice little bonus for the kids to feel like they were involved and better yet that it was free.

    After training, we had a little bit of time before the show so we walked around for a few minutes before the show. We were greeted by the King and took our seats next. While we did have great seats (second row) there really is no bad seats in the house!

    So the show started and our server was off brining us our drinks and meal. No utensiles were needed, which honestly was perfect with the food we were served. Tomato Bisque, Focaccia Bread with Olive Oil and Seasoning (or Garlic Bread), Barbecued spare ribs, Oven-Roasted Chicken, Herb-Basted Potato Split into Two Quarters, and Braided Apple Strudel was our menu. My mother-in-law was with us and she actually got the vegetarian meal, which was peppers with rice, hummus, and veggies.

    Our section was the Green Knight, each section having a knight they cheer for. Our knight ending up winning which was extra exciting. The whole show though was packed with action from sword fighting to knight challenges to a bird soaring around the arena. The show can be pricey for a family, but there are always coupons or specials out there if you look for them! When you think about it that you get dinner and a show, it is reasonable.

    BUY IT:  You can purchase tickets for Medieval Times for $59.95 for an adult and $35.95 for children 12 and under. Don’t forget to check for coupons!

    WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive 4 tickets to attend a performance at the Chicago castle (only); tickets to be used within 60 days from time winner is announced (advanced reservation is required) This is a $240 suggested retail value.

      We went when I was a kid but I haven’t been there since! Looks like it is still a ton of classic fun! Thanks for the giveaway!

      We took a field trip there when I was in 6th or 7th grade. So it’s been about 20 years. I would love to take my 2 girls and let them experience how fun it is also!

      I actually went in middle school and high school as field trips, but haven’t been there on my own in quite some time! I would love to go again though, it’s so much fun!

      I have never been to Medieval Times, but I would give the tickets as a gift to my cousins who would be ecstatic at the opportunity to go to the event!
      Thank you so much for the giveaway!

      Although we live in the Chicago area, I am sorry to say “NO” we have never been to Medieval Times – and I’ve always wanted to go. It would be great to finally get there this Fall! Thanks.

      I went once with my husband for a birthday may years ago. My son is begging to go for his 8th birthday in October and there is no way we can afford it. This would truly make a dream come true if we win.

      We love Medieval Times. We have only been able to go 2 times in the 16 years we have had kids though. It is such a fun place for both adults and kids! We would love to win these tickets to be able to take our kids.

      We go this Sunday. Can’t wait! I didn’t realize girls could go out for knight training, too. My problem now will be that David will want to go and he’ll be too young.
