We finally took Red to Medieval Times Atlanta. Being three years old, we were really afraid that Red wouldn’t listen to us, get restless in his seat, or be a little afraid of the smoke and strobe lights. But we were wrong! We bought Red a flag and a dagger (mini wooden sword) and he was “all in” to the action, the horses and the jousting.
While the silhouettes at MT are pretty good, I’m aching to change all the fabrics and trim of the Princess dress – they aren’t period AT ALL. And sometimes the silhouettes tried to combine eras. I mean really – have you ever seen a knight wear sequins? 🙂 Since it’s all in good fun, I have to remember that showmanship is the name of the modern game… current audiences are like the Romans, we need a little flash and suspense to keep up the hype!
We ended up trading our previously loved black and white flag for a Blue Knight one, and Red was in love. When I hid it during the meal, he looked to me and asked, “Mama, where my flag go?” His knowing look of a swap was so funny!
Our blue knight did splendidly, and won all the events – however, he did not win the battle. He lasted until the third round.
It was a fabulous (k)night, full of food, fun and a VERY well behaved boy. Red fell asleep as soon as we hit the car and hardly woke up to get into the bed. He loved the evening so much, we can hardly wait to take him back!
That looks like so much fun. We need one here in Boston!
You can tell when the little ones have a good time by how fast the fall asleep in the car! We went around Christmas time- and the kids had a blast! LONG LIVE THE BLACK AND WHITE KNIGHT!
My favorite part of Medieval Times is the food! Each time I have gone it has been so good and I learned that they have veggie plates! So my plan for the next time I go.. is to order one veggie plate for the girls and we can all share and have some green w all that awesome meat and the soup.. oh the soup is so good!
This is an awesome place. I want to go there soon.
I love Medieval Times! It’s been a long time since I’ve gone, but I remember that I Really liked the chicken! Haha
Sounds like fun. Have not been to one but I bet my boys would like it.
What a great family picture! We haven’t been in a while as E gets a little antsy still, but it sure is fun!
That looks like is was a really fun time! I’ve never been to Medieval Times before but I would love to see one of the shows.
So cool! It looks like Red had a great time! We need to check this place out!
All tuckered out. Medieval Times is always such a fun evening activity. I like it a lot!
Medieval Times is very close to me and I never visited there. Looks like fun so the girls and I will take a trip there soon.
Awww. Your little knight is all worn out. Jousting and rescuing damsels will do that to a fellow.
What a cute little knight! We have been wanting to take our 3 1/2 year old, but I am not sure he’d sit through the entire show yet…
I’ve never been to Medieval Times before. It sure looks like a lot of fun.
Wow he looks exhausted! Always the sign of a great time!!
I haven’t taken my son yet. I know he would love this too! What a fun memory!
That looks like so much fun. I hope to take my kids there soon.
How fun! You know it’s a great time when they get so tired out by the end!
I wish there was one of these close to us!!! Looks like everyone had a great time!
Awwww! He had such a good time that he conked out on the ride home! How cute!
Medieval Times is such fun! I’m glad he enjoyed his first trip there!
First of all, I absolutely LOVE your blog name! And looks like you all had a blast because your sweet boy was pooped. Now I want go!
Looks like he had a great time, so much so that it tuckered him right out! What a great night out for a little boy!
But sequins are so fun. 😉 I was disappointed in middle school, after going to to Medieval Times as a child, to discover that real knights didn’t wear sequins.
My boys would go so crazy at Medieval times. I hope to take them someday.
I want to go so bad. He had so much fun he was worn out! I shall be going the next time I go to Dallas 🙂
I’ve heard great things about Medieval Times. I wish we had one in our area!
That looks like so much fun! I’ve always wanted to go there.
I so wish there was some place like this here. I love midevil times.
You know it’s a good trip when they’re tuckered out tired at the end. 🙂 I’d love to visit one of these restaurants, I think it’d be a really fun experience.
My family had a blast at Medieval Times. Seriously, we went home with a sword.
We got free tickets to go. I cant wait until we can!
I’ve always wanted to go to that! They don’t have it here but they do have something similar. I went when I was little but I don’t remember it &I want to bring my son!
Medieval Times is on my list of must attend with the kids list. My 4 year old would have a blast!!
I’ve never been to medieval times either, but I want to go! I want an oversized turkey leg to eat with no utensils.
That looks so cool! I want to go with my son also!
