Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Hanover, MD
The show was awesome! More than I expected. Getting in was easy. We were sat at our table quickly and served almost right away with our soup. (which was delicious). There is stadium style seating so that everyone can see regardless of where you sit. It was like going back in time. And I will say, bring your appetite! They served us so much food, one of the entrees is literally a 1/2 chicken!! And it was a unique and fun experience watching the jousting and sword fighting while eating with no utensils. Everyone from the wait staff to the performers were entertaining. It's very reasonably priced considering all that you get. Very enjoyable!!
