About Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament
: The concept of an 11th century-style dinner attraction was first launched in 1973 on the Spanish island of Majorca. Ten years later Medieval Times opened its first dinner attraction in Kissimmee, Fla. This thrilling, action-packed entertainment experience was inspired by the true medieval tradition of royal families inviting guests to a festival and feast to watch knights compete on horseback. Now regarded as North America’s longest running and most popular dinner attraction, almost 50 million guests have experienced Medieval Times at all nine locations, which include castles in Buena Park, Calif., Orlando, Fla.; Schaumburg, Ill., Hanover, Md., Lyndhurst, N.J., Myrtle Beach, S.C., Dallas, Texas, Atlanta, Ga. and Toronto, Ont., Canada. In 2007, Medieval Times moved its North American headquarters to Irving, Texas, close to the company’s Chapel Creek Ranch in Sanger, Texas.
