UPDATED DECEMBER 2023. If you haven't ever been to Medieval Times, this is the time to consider it. And if you have been to Medieval Times, chances are things are a little bit different than the last time you visited.

At Get Away Today we pride ourselves on being your Southern California experts. That means our staff regularly visits the local hotels and attractions like Medieval Times.

Today we are sharing five things you didn't know about Medieval Times. We think you'll learn a thing or two, whether or not you've been to Medieval Times:

Medieval Times is located in Buena Park, just about 10 minutes from Anaheim and Disneyland Resort. It’s also only minutes away from other popular attractions including:

• Knott’s Berry Farm (half mile)
• Porto’s Bakery (next door)
• Pirates Dinner Adventure (next door)

Medieval Times is one of the only Southern California attractions that has free parking for ticketed guests. They are also open 365 days a year - including Christmas, New Year's, Mother's Day and everything in between.

If you're looking for something unique to do on your Southern California vacation, this is it.

The show at Medieval Times may have changed since your last visit. Kings, Queens, new costumes, a new musical score, a new story line and so much more.

In fact, the score for the show is custom made exclusively for Medieval Times by a choral group from Kiev, Ukraine. But it's more than just the music. All of the sound effects from the show are created by this choir as well. It's incredible, and when you know this little tidbit, it makes it even more spectacular to watch the show live.

One of the fun features of Medieval Times is that you can eat with your hands! The traditional menu features a hearty stew, bread, meat and more.

What people may not realize is that Medieval Times can cater to any dietary needs. They have vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, Kosher and other options. Just be sure to mention any dietary needs or preferences when you make your reservation.

Medieval Times is so much more than dinner and a show. You can explore the whole castle including a Museum of Torture. You can even venture to the stables that house the horses that perform.

It is a whole other experience being able to see these creatures up close. You'll want to allow yourself enough time to explore the additional adventures, plus enjoy the two hour show and meal experience.

We hope you enjoyed learning a few things about this one-of-a-kind dinner show. If you'd like more information or would like to add Medieval Times to your Southern California vacation, we'd love to help.
