This Castle Restaurant In Arizona Is A Fantasy Come To Life

We have quite a few castles here in the Grand Canyon State, but few are quite this awesome. Medieval Times in Scottsdale not only serves four-course meals fit for a king but also has live jousting tournaments while you eat! Travel back to the Dark Ages for an unforgettable experience that’s fun for the whole family.

With nine restaurants across the U.S. and Canada, Medieval Times is adding one more location in Scottsdale this summer.

A live jousting show plays out for two hours while you eat.

Six brave knights on horseback go head-to-head with real lances, and a majestic falcon even takes flight when it's all said and done.

The meal includes garlic bread, tomato bisque soup, sweet buttered corn, herb-basted potatoes, and a pastry. It's a feast fit for a king if we've ever seen one!

A separate meal is offered for vegetarian guests, and it includes hummus, warm pita bread, carrot and celery sticks, three-bean stew with fire-roasted tomatoes and brown rice, and fresh fruit.

Two rounds of alcoholic beverages in addition to coffee are also served.

Anyone care for a tall, frothy glass of mead? What about a refreshing margarita or frozen wine slush? Servers will be available during the show, so feel free to ask for any other beverages from the bar that your heart may desire.

It doesn't get much better than dinner accompanied by quality entertainment.

Chow down on a hearty, delicious meal while watching with undivided captivation as jousters battle it out for the prestigious title of Queen's Champion. It’s a night of wholesome fun that all ages are guaranteed to enjoy.

Stick around after your meal and check out the gift shop.

Glass cases and shelves are stocked with all the souvenirs necessary to not only make your experience unforgettable but turn you into a full-blown knight as well. Shields, faux swords, novelty trophies, and a variety of additional memorabilia will have you ready to defend the kingdom whenever necessary.

Address: 9051 East Vía de Ventura, Scottsdale, AZ 85258
