Mind you, I'm a female writing this, but am so sick & tired of this being shoved down our throats- & yes, this storyline went there. With the new storyline, a queen has now taken the throne, & to that, I was wondering if it was going to be a message of being "politically correct," & sadly, it was. *Warning: spoilers ahead* The old show consisted of a threat, a dark knight (black knight as they called him) & the goal was to eventually eliminate him, once a victor knight rises through competition, challenges & such. She didn't care whatsoever, so it was discouraging for us audience members that wanted to get into character & play along, especially for the sake of our children. They could have replaced it with something chocolaty, at least! Next, The Service: our wench was completely out of character.
The Menu: They took out the spare rib & replaced it with corn- boo! Secondly, they replaced the apple pastry with lemon pound cake- yuck! After they brought out the cake, my daughter asked "where's the dessert?", to which I replied,"that was it", & my daughter then replied with a quivering "Whhhhaaattt?". So, let me get to the little things first. It's been a few years since we last came to medieval times (Schaumburg) & wanted to come back when our children were old enough to understand the story- our kids are 5, 7 & 8 now. A few other disappointing aspects to this visit, as well, so I'll get to that first. always such a good time whether your knight wins or loses, but the new story plot has completely changed our minds & we won't be coming back unless it changes again. We used to love coming to Medieval Times. It was really an enjoyable afternoon and I can't wait to visit again! The horses are beautiful and the performance was fun and engaging. and he was fabulous! He gave us a fun presentation of every food item.
The fun starts right away and continues for the whole two hours. We did not opt for the VIP and just had the basic admission and it was great. It was pretty good! (If you like sweet wines which I do!) There is a bunch of fun stuff to see in the great hall, and we were soon welcomed and then sent to our entrances.Įvery seat in there is great. We stopped at the bar and I had a Honey Mead. That said, the staff is marvelous and really hustled to get everyone in. It was already filling up and we had about a 20-25 minute wait in line to get in. We went to the early 1:00 show and arrived at 12:15. 😃 The food was good, and there is a lot of it! They offer you a doggy bag at the end in case you want to take some home.
My husband took me today and it was so much fun! The seating is great, and comfy even for those of us who are a little bigger. I've always wanted to go here since I was a kid. Quite frankly, that impressed me so very much! He greeted all the guests thanking them for coming. I truly cannot wait to go back! Thank you Hank Bonnette for truly making this a very memorable night. It is very expensive but, it is worth every penny. Watching the show, we could not get enough. The drinks at the bar were incredibly well-made, the food was delicious, and the service was better than it's ever been. Everyone was genuinely happy to serve us and to make sure that this was a great experience. From the first moment we walked in I could already feel the vibe is quite different. My two grandchildren, my son, his wife, my husband, and I all decided to go. However, driving with my grandson, he saw the castle and asked me to please take him. I had gone a couple times in the past and felt it was way overpriced, mediocre food, and and definitely a struggle to keep my attention on their performance. Ok, if you asked me to write this review 2 years ago, it would definitely be different.
