There’s a king and princess, and there are 6 knights and their helpers. There was a story, but to be honest, I had a hard time following the details. This is great fun for the kids! At your seat you get a flag to waive with your knight’s colors, and your napkin doubles as the menu. As you may have heard, it’s a utensil-less meal (unless you get the vegetarian option). You’ll be in the arena almost two hours, which includes the dinner and show. Your server will introduce herself/himself, and there’s also bar service from your seats, so you don’t have to get up to get an alcoholic drink. Everyone wears their crown, and its color shows your section and which knight you’re rooting for. When you enter the building initially, they give you a crown. VIP seating at Medieval Times Copyright Deborah Abrams Kaplan If you sit up higher, you don’t have that in your direct sight-line. Why? We had plastic paneling in our direct view (protection, like at a hockey game). I think the higher rows can be better than the first row where we sat. Each row is set up high enough that you have a good view. I’ll say that there are no bad seats in the house. Not sure how that works, as we had a VIP package. If you have a VIP package, you get seated early in reserved spaces. Lots to choose from! There’s plenty to buy at Medieval Times. There is plenty to buy at Medieval Times, from chess sets to champagne glasses with pewter decorations, to clothing to wooden sword/shield combinations. They serve ye olde Sam Adams and other spirits and colorful slushies at the Medieval Times bar. They have a stocked bar with alcohol, as well as slushie colorful drinks (non-alcoholic – I asked). Photos are put in a heavy duty cardboard frame (nice frame) and it’s $20. They have a separate throne area, where you can get pictures taken by them. They could go and pose with the king for a photo, though there’s a sign that you’re not allowed to take your own photo.
The king was in the throne area, calling out people’s names who were celebrating a birthday or special occasion. I didn’t have time to go in, but my son went in for a few minutes, as we needed to get seated, and said it was really interesting. Inside, the building is decorated royally, with painted ceilings, suits of armor and there’s even a Museum of Torture ($2/entrance). You don’t need to get there that far in advance, but give yourself some time. The building opens up 75 minutes before the show. The exterior of New Jersey’s Medieval Times.
