Buena
Park, California is home to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. On most
evenings, you can enjoy a roasted chicken while watching Knights engage in
games of chance, skill, joust and battle. The experience is like no other on
the planet. The great people at MedievalTimes are now offering a matinee show titled, “Chivalry in Action.” This show
is geared towards teaching our youth about anti-bullying while encouraging chivalry
at every point in their lives. The cost is $25.00 per person which includes
lunch and this great educational show. The plate is a quarter of a chicken, a
half of a baked potato, half piece of corn on the cob, delicious garlic bread
and a bottle of water to drink. They also give you a chocolate chip cookie at
the end of your meal for desert. All of the
food is eaten by hand, just like the evening shows and how food was consumed in
the royal era. For vegetarians, they offer a delicious pasta veggie dish with
fruit and garlic bread. I have a diet restriction so I tested the veggie plate.
Let me tell you, my meal was super delicious.
The
beginning of the show is tailored toward presenting how a knight would handle
bullying and over sharing on social media.
For thirty minutes, we are entertained with several great examples of what
the “Chivalry in Action” would look like with a modernized twist. As the show
continues on, the knights compete in tournaments and show off their skills. The
crowd is encouraged to cheer for their Lord.
By the end of the show, the crowd has received a great message of
kindness and compassion as well as experiencing an amazing medieval jousting
tournament.
On the day
we attended, the matinee was booked to capacity by several local schools. As we pulled into the parking lot, you saw the
school buses lined up as they finished dropping off the students. When the show ended, like a well-oiled machine,
teachers and students loaded up on to their buses within minutes while the
knights climbed onto every bus to bid the students a final farewell. It was an
amazing sight to see 1,100 students disappear on to the highway within minutes
of the show finale.
