Eat With Your Hands as Knights Joust at Medieval Times
A no-forks four-course dinner in a castle arena while six knights joust, sword-fight and race for your section's cheers.
Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament runs its Orlando-area castle on West Vine Street in Kissimmee. You sit in one of six colored sections around a sand arena, each tied to its own knight, and dinner arrives while the tournament plays out in front of you: horsemanship, a falcon flight, sword fights and full jousting passes.
Dinner comes without silverware, so the chicken and everything else on the plate is eaten by hand. Gray Line Orlando sells this ticket and books your seat through the castle's own e-ticketing system.
Tickets are priced per person, with a child rate for ages 3 to 10 and adult pricing from 11. Children under 3 come free if they sit on an adult's lap and share that plate.
Buying the ticket does not lock in your date: Gray Line requests it through the castle's system and contacts you if that night is unavailable, and the sale is final with no refund.
Medieval Times Dinner Show in OrlandoTwo hours at the Kissimmee castle with a four-course dinner, two rounds of soft drinks and the knights' tournamentwww.viator.comSix Knights, One Sand Arena and a Falcon Overhead
The program moves through horsemanship, falconry, sword fights and jousting, and the horses are Pure Spanish horses. Each section cheers for the knight in its color, and the knights play to their sections all evening.
Strobe effects are part of the show, which matters for anyone sensitive to flashing light. The show itself runs about 90 minutes inside roughly two hours at the castle. One October 2026 traveler called it a fun and unique date night, and families on recent visits wrote about kids cheering on their knight.
What the Four Courses Are, and What Costs Extra
The meal is garlic bread, tomato bisque, roasted chicken with sweet buttered corn and herb-basted potatoes, then dessert and coffee, with two rounds of select soft drinks. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free plates are available if you tell your server once you are seated. The vegan plate is hummus with carrot and celery sticks, then a three-bean stew with fire-roasted tomato over brown rice.
Tips for your server are not part of the ticket and are paid at the end of the show, by cash, card or phone. Alcohol for adults comes from the full-service bar, outside the two included rounds.
Seats Go by Package, Then by Who Arrives First
Seating inside each package is first come, first served and also depends on group size, so arriving when the doors open gets the better rows in your section. The door time comes in the confirmation email from Medieval Times, which carries the confirmation number that gets you into the castle and should arrive within 24 hours of booking. If it has not, Gray Line's ticketing office is on 407-522-5911.
Keep that confirmation number on your phone at the box office; one July 2026 traveler said check-in took about ten minutes because staff could not find the booking. Parties on separate orders sit together only if they show all order numbers at the box office and hold the same seating package.
Ages, Access and What to Wear
Children under 16 need a parent or guardian with them; guests 16 and older can enter on their own.
For wheelchair-accessible seating, tell staff when you arrive and they will seat you accordingly. The castle is indoors and climate-controlled, the dress code is casual, and some guests bring a light sweater. Before the arena opens, the Hall of Arms holds medieval artifacts, coats of arms and a gift shop to pass the time.
