Amazing for people of all ages. They have a very enjoyable show with an incorporated dinner. The outcome of the show does change every time to not make it the exact same. Medieval times is great for large parties and small groups. When you go, you can expect a very nice dinner along with a jousting match and other medieval themed competitions. What also makes this place interesting is the splitting into different teams/countries to have the suspense of who wins.
