After the show, make sure to venture around as there are plenty of things to see, including photo ops. The place serves alcohol, either at the bar or by the server.Ĥ. Just because there’s no utensils, doesn’t mean there’s no alcohol for the non-designated driving adult. Which is probably how it was like back then.ģ. Remember when I said this place takes you back in time? Well, there are no utensils to eat your food. If you’re coming from the city, leave at least an hour before the show starts. A FEW THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MEDIEVAL TIMESġ. Trust me, it was more than enough food! The service was great, too! And…the jousting tournament was pretty exciting to watch as there was lots of action and sword fighting. Our four course meal included garlic bread, tomato soup, half a rotisserie chicken with corn and potato, and an apple pastry as dessert. The show included a four-course meal followed by a live jousting tournament. It turned out that our red knight won the jousting tournament! Speaking of rewards, we were seated in the red area, which meant we had to cheer for the red knight. As a parent, to watch your child experience and react to something they like for the first time is truly the best reward. That’s when I knew I needed to put my camera down and “be present”. Charlie and I had such a great a time watching Luke’s eyes and amazement.

Then he really got into it! So much so that he asked if he could have a sword so he can wave it around. Afterwards, we entered the seating area where we were shown our seats.Īt first, Luke wanted nothing to do with the castle and what was inside it until he saw the procession and all the horses. Then we got to take pictures with the princess. We were given the red tickets and red crowns. Upon arrival, we were greeted by some nice lords and ladies to give us our seating tickets and paper crowns. I know for kids, it would most likely stimulate their imagination.

When we entered the castle, the decor and the size of the interior kind of took you back in time. When driving west on 1-90, you can’t miss the huge castle. The one in Schaumburg is just minutes from O’Hare. There are only a handful Medieval Times locations in the city and we are lucky to have one so close to us. We did something I never thought I’d do, we went to Medieval Times! And it was so fun and such an adventure! We ventured out to the suburbs – to Schaumburg to be exact. Last Sunday we tried something different.
