It is hard to sometimes find something that we can all do as a family and have everyone have a good time. Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament is one of those places!
If you have not been here before (Medieval Times Chicago), the building is a castle. You cannot miss it from the expressway. After you get your tickets, you are assigned a color to root for. You get a crown that color. As you can see, we were rooting for the red/yellow knight. This also tells you where you are sitting once you get into the theater. You will be called for seating by the color you are. We’ve sat in several different places over the years (we’ve been here before), and I can honestly say that there isn’t a bad seat in the place. This was our first time being in the front row, and it was pretty cool being that close!
The fun part of Medieval Times is that not only do you get dinner, you get a show! There is setup for why the knights are fighting. Also be warned, you are eating during the show without utensils. Yes, you eat with your fingers! The kids always seem to love that. Also, all you food allergy people like me — there are options for you! I was worried, but my waitress made 2 substitutions for me, and they are delicious. They were more than willing to deal with my gluten allergy. Our server was amazing.
Our knight won! On the way out (and on the way in), there are several gift kiosks set up where you can get your kids outfits, swords, shields, stuffed dragons, etc. Anything that would remind you of the medieval times, you can find in the gift kiosks! You can also order drinks from the bar in really good mugs and glasses. There is something for everyone here.
We’ve been here before, and I can honestly say I’ve never seen the same show twice. They have different shows which keeps my kids interest, amazing food, and great service. I can only recommend checking out Medieval Times if you are in the Chicago area. You won’t be disappointed.
That is why I have arranged for one lucky reader to win 4 tickets to Medieval Times! Here’s what you need to do:

I have always wanted to go to one of these! If I lived closer to Chicago I would be entering this! It seems like such a fun experience.
I have always wanted to visit one of these places, but cannot convince my boyfriend to go.
I wish this giveaway was for New Jersey! I have always wanted to go. I’m sure my family would enjoy it!
I haven’t been to Medieval Times in years but I remember it being so much fun! It looks like it’s still an amazing time for all! I’ll have to see if we can work it into our schedule when we go to the beach later this year!
This looks like so much fun! The fact that it’s in a castle would totally impress my princess-minded daughters! lol
This looks like so much fun. What knight would not want to eat a banquet with his fingers? A trip to Medieval Times sounds like a must do adventure.
Medieval Times is the most fun you can have without breaking the law. We go there all the time, and it never gets old!
Does this go for the Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Myrtle Beach, SC as well ?
We have always talked about going to Medieval Times but we have yet to go. I think it would so fun for the kiddos, I just don’t know if it’s my thing. Sounds great though, and what a great giveaway!
We love the Medieval time theatre here in FL. So fun fun is to be had there.
I have always wanted to visit these. Entering the giveaway hope to win, even if not will definitely be visiting now.
Oh this looks like so much fun!
Can not wait to take the kids when the youngest gets a little older.
The memories they are going to make is priceless!
I have ALWAYS wanted to eat at Medieval Times! I just haven’t made it to one yet! It always looks like so much fun!
I have been wanting to take my kids to Medieval Times in Orlando which is the closest one to home. I wish this giveaway was for that one. Looks amazing!
We haven’t gone to one of these in years but it was so much fun. Would love to go back!
I love dinner shows. Medieval times is one of my favorites.
Medieval Times I have gone to the one in Kissimmee and is pretty entertaining. The tomato soup they serve is wonderful!
I have wanted to do this one day with my kids. We have one that is an hour away. This looks fun. I’m sure my boys would enjoy it.
I can’t wait until my kids are old enough that I can take them to one of these…I’ve been dying to go myself 😉
I love Midieval dinners and have many fond memories with families and friends!
I wish they had something similar here! The food was always fun and was heaps fun cheering on the winning side!
What a fun and unique experience! My son will love this!
What a thrilling experience it must have been to watch a medieval times tournament. I bet it was also fun to eat with your hands while watching.
My son would love to see this kind of event. Looks like not just a fun event but educational as well.
This looks so fun and I’m sure my kids would love to try something like this. It’s a unique dining experience.
My sister and niece went here for her birthday a few years ago, I keep saying I will bring y kids but I tend to become distracted with other places I want to bring them to. This is def going on this summers bucket list.
I love a good dinner theater. I haven’t been to a Medieval Times when it wasn’t fun for the whole family. I will have to win this giveaway and check it out again!
It’s great how you can watch the show and eat dinner with your hands. We live so far from Chicago but it would be a memorable experience if we have that same tournament in our area.
How fun and exciting! My family and I hoping to attend this dinner tournament someday, especially if we’re in the Chicago area next time.
Fun! We have never done this before. I bet my son woudl love it.
I’d love to visit the one in Orlando. I think that would be a really fun time.
How fun! My kids have been, but I have never been to Medieval Times. My cousin was recently in one of their commercials, lol. He loves that place.
If we’re in the Chicago are, we would definitely watch that show. I have no doubt that is a fun show to watch. I would love to see those costumes in person!
I’ve only been to Medieval Times once, it was fun experience. My kids are a little bigger now and they would probably enjoy a show.

I’ve always wanted to go to Medieval times. Wow! Your little guy must have truly enjoyed it! Definitely a boy’s dream!
It is always a good day when your knight wins the joust! What a great giveaway. Wish I was closer so I could win too!
We visit Las Vegas frequently and they have one and I would love to take the boys. I have never seen the show http://www.parentinghealthy.com/
This would be really cool. Ten year old me would flip his lid over this and even my kids might!
Wish we lived closer! This looks like a really good time!
We haven’t been to Medieval Times in such a long time! It has always been a family favorite. I am going to tell the hubby that we need to make plans for this real soon.
i had no idea something like this exist. i saw something similar in one of those old Casper Scare School episode my little man was fond of watching. this should be a very interesting and exciting activity to do with the family!
