Medieval Times. Ever heard of it? That's right, I'm talking about knights, swords, a suit of armor, horses and castles. No, no - I'm not talking about history books, but rather the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. There are only 9 locations in North America, and one is right in our back yard!
Located amidst the chaos of Lyndhurst, the Medieval Times castle, which is visible from Rt. 3 if you know where to look, offers a great escape to the 11th century. While King Philippe and Princess Leonore offer a glimpse into their world, guests feast on a four course meal sans utensils. That's right folks, if they didn't have forks and knives in the 11th century, you don't get to use them in 2010 either!
Yet they they did have knights and battles to the death, all of which you get to enjoy! The arena is divided into 6 sections, each of which is represented by a knight who engages in different stunts and ultimately in battle. Only one knight will win - hopefully it's yours!
With a full service bar, full meal and great entertainment, Medieval Times is a great experience for all ages. The only drawback is pricing. At the most basic level, tickets cost $57 per person, although group discounts are easily available.
