It’s a good idea to arrive in time to explore the castle and peruse the souvenir store prior to sitting down for your 4-course feast. Upon arrival, you’ll be presented with a colored crown that determines which knight you should cheer for, so brace yourself for a couple of hours of raucous cheering as the knights perform extraordinary feats of jousting, horsemanship, falconry, and hand-to-hand combat. When you arrive, you can ask staff about seating upgrades and packages.

You can’t miss the sprawling European-style castle that houses Medieval Times, which is located between entrances 1 and 5 in the Arundel Mills shopping mall in the suburb of Hanover. It’s around a 25-minute drive southwest of downtown Baltimore. Ample parking wraps around the castle and is free of charge.
Shows take place every day except Monday, and the castle gates open one hour before showtime to allow guests to explore the grounds. Your seating is reserved when you book, so there’s no need to rush to get a seat. The show lasts around 2 hours, and there is no intermission.
If the adults in your group are looking to continue their evening entertainment, it’s just a short stroll from Medieval Times to Live! Casino and Hotel Maryland. Open 24 hours, it offers 4,000 slot machines and 200 table games, and hosts entertainment ranging from live music to DJ sets to championship boxing—check the event calendar for details.
