Are your little ones into knights, horses, princesses or just the whole medieval lifestyle? Well this is the perfect place for you! Located conveniently inside Sugarloaf Mills, this large arena has lots to offer!
(When you arrive at Sugarloaf Mills, be sure to park by the BIG CASTLE you can't miss it. ;) )
Upon arrival, you will be given a crown that matches with a certain section and given the opportunity to take your picture with someone from the "Royal Family". After this, you are given the option to go to your seats or enjoy the bar, souvenirs or just admire all the great props! Since we have a one year old, we waited to take our seats until right before it started so he was able to run around and be free!!
Once at your seats, you realize every seat in this place is incredible! They had your seats positioned perfectly and there was only a handful of rows so everyone was able to feel like they had the BEST seat in the house. As you pick up your napkin, you will find a menu with everything you will be served and your wench(waitress) briefs on the fact that they intend on making this experience as pure as possible... so NO silverware. (Who knew they served Pepsi back in the day... hehe ) Then as the lights dimmed and the audio kicked in.. we knew the show was about to begin.
Just to brief you on the show: Lots of horses, knights, fighting, games.. you know everything you have imagined going on back in the Medieval Times except its actually happening right in front of you! It was incredible and kept you on the edge of your seat as you cheered your knight on (this is where the different color crowns and the sections come in play). Unfortunately, our knight was beaten but we still cheered for our "side" of the arena, haha. Jude and my husband loved the horses and the loud fighting (as any boy would).. Jude also loved clapping for every single knight, haha! The food was better then I expected.. the portions are VERY large so it was enough to feed me and my "lap child".... they offer alternatives to people with food allergies which I thought was wonderful.
Overall, we will definitely go again! We have been three times in the past 2 years and now that my husband realizes my son is starting to get into it.. I see this number drastically increasing!
Tips:
- They sell flags and lights at your seats so bring extra cash
- Gratuity is not added to the checks, so keep your waitress in mind
- Every seat in the house is good but for special occasions you can book one of the first couple rows and have them announce it!
- They will bring your picture to your seat and show you; be prepared to pay $20 for the pictures but you have the option to buy after the show if you wish.
- Don't be shy! Cheer for your knight and really ENJOY the experience!
