I can just tell you what you'll see in a nutshell: Maybe you'll be a little disappointed, but I don't want to describe the entire show in detail to you. It was really fun to see everyone walking around with paper crowns on. They had just about every item you could imagine, even dragon items (though there aren't any dragons in the show). There were tons of fun souvenir stands selling light-up swords, wooden shields, authentic swords, princess crowns, royal 'jewels' and more. The ceiling of the main lobby inside the castle It really looked like the inside of a castle! It was so exciting for my son (and for all of us, I must admit). We were also offered the opportunity to take a photo with the queen, but our entire party hadn't arrived yet, so we decided to wait (and we never did get back to have that picture taken, so if you hope to purchase your souvenir photo later on, I recommend just taking it as soon as you come in, even if your whole party isn't present).ĭoors open 75 minutes before your actual show time, so if you've never been to Medieval Times before, I recommend coming early so you have a chance to see everything and explore. Kudos to all of you, hard-working folks of Medieval Times, Lyndhurst! I will forever be your humble servant, the loyal Jersey Momma! As you can see from the photo they even came outside to greet the crowd (on a horribly hot day, no less) before the doors opened. Now, on with the review. It was really special to witness and very impressive. I especially appreciated the bond they have with their horses and how much work they put into forming that bond. The amount of work and effort these people put into these shows- it's not lost on me, I assure you.

And the Lyndhurst crew itself was amazing- the knights, the performers, everyone. There are a bunch of things to consider before taking your family and children (which I'll get to in a minute), but I can't say enough good things about this show and how much we enjoyed it. Before I write anything about Medieval Times, I just want to point out that we visited the location in Lyndhurst, New Jersey.
