Medieval Times or Pirates Dinner Show

[doombuggy]

I have been to the Medevil Times in Lindhurst, NJ and had a great time! Went with adults, no kids, though. I have not been to any of the ones around here, mosly b/c I just don't have much free time, since I work every day.

My brother did the Sleuth one last time he was down here and said it was horrible. Sorry to hijack, but I'm really curious at how bad Capone's is. We've been wanting to do one as in they're all really right out our back door (live in Celebration) but haven't decided. Capone's is always packed, but then again, it's ALWAYS half off.

I liked Capones. The thing with Capones is it is a buffet so you serve yourself and has italian food on the buffet.

This thread is a little old, so I don't know if the OP still cares but:

We went to MT a few days ago. We all (DH, DS's 11,8,8), and we loved it. But I would not spend the money with a 2 and 5 year old. The seating arrangements are somewhat confining. It is dark and noisy. My kids would not have been interested in the show at those ages. And the "chaos" would have just made them fussy.

To anyone else reading this, kids from about 6 and up should enjoy it. The horses are beautiful. The stunt work is incredible. Check out their website http://www.medievaltimes.com/ .

Basically the decision really comes down to this:
do you want to see horses or not? MT has horses...PDA doesn't.

I have done both and prefer MT to PDA. I have also been to Arabian Knights and Dixie Stampede. My favorite of all 4 is Dixie Stampede.

Best food/entertainment.

Thanks for the advice! I Have been to MT & PDA, but wanted to know about the other 2.

Thanks again!!!

I would say pirates will keep your 5 year old more amused. I have a 4 year old and that is what I am doing.

I have been to pirates, medieval times, and several others except Dixie stampede. Pirates was the first one we went to and we enjoyed that more than all the others. We always ended up regretting not going to pirates. We are going back this year. Make sure to get your tickets at a discount online place. They are a lot cheaper.


MT is ok but caters more to an older audience. Last time I went the 4/5 year old kids at MT were bored. They could not follow the story and so the parents ended up haveing to amuse them making the parents miserable.

I found the food at pirates good. After waiting in the opening area the scene starts as a festival and then the princess is kidnapped by the pirates. You are then ushered into the "ship" where the rest of the story unfolds. Each section gets their own pirate to root for. There is lots of acrobatics and things going on. Great for the younger kids and dh and I enjoyed it too. The free wine didn't hurt either!
