Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament is located in Buena Park, California, less than seven miles from Disneyland, off the 91 Freeway at Beach Boulevard. Parking is free and on-site. The Buena Park castle has been operating since 1986 and runs shows year-round, with both afternoon matinees and evening showtimes available. 

​

The show runs approximately two hours and is fully indoors inside a climate-controlled arena. Six knights compete in jousting, sword fights, and games of skill on horseback, with Andalusian stallions and a trained falcon as part of the performance. The arena seats approximately 1,100 guests, divided by color section — each assigned a knight to cheer for. Dinner is served during the show: a four-course, hands-on meal with no utensils. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available upon request, and the show uses stroboscopic effects — worth knowing before you go. 

​

Standard tickets run roughly $50–$75 per adult and $40–$60 per child, depending on the date and show time, with discount codes frequently available through the Medieval Times website. Children three and under are admitted free as long as they sit on an adult's lap and don't require a meal. Upgraded VIP packages are available at a higher price point and may be worth considering — priority seating puts you in the front rows, which means a closer view of the action and a bit more breathing room from the general crowd. Budget for extras regardless — the gift shop, souvenir photos, and bar service add up quickly once you're inside.
