Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament

Tickets & Visitor Guide to the Castle Dinner Show

⏱ 2-2.5 hours👤 All ages$$$

Medieval Times is a long-running, internationally popular dinner-and-tournament attraction, and its Orlando-area location in Kissimmee delivers the full experience in a purpose-built castle. The premise is simple and fun: guests are seated in a large, banked arena around a central jousting floor, divided into color-coded sections, each cheering for a knight who competes on their behalf — turning the audience into rival, roaring partisans.

The show is a fast-paced spectacle of medieval pageantry: knights on beautifully trained horses compete in jousting, sword and weapon combat, and feats of horsemanship, with a loose storyline of chivalry, rivalry, and a tournament to crown a champion. There's falconry, an impressive display of the trained Andalusian and other horses, music, and plenty of drama and audience interaction (you'll be cheering, booing, and waving your section's banner). Throughout, you're served a hearty multi-course meal — typically including soup, roasted chicken, ribs, and a pastry — eaten without utensils, in keeping with the medieval theme, which kids especially love.

It's an unabashedly entertaining, all-ages evening — touristy, yes, but genuinely fun, and a popular change of pace from the theme parks. The whole experience runs around two hours including the meal. It's in Kissimmee, near many hotels and other attractions, and tickets often include the dinner and show together (with upgrade options). Reserve ahead, especially in peak season, and arrive early for the pre-show. It's a reliable family-pleaser.
