Excalibur Tournament of Kings

Travel back in time to the medieval world of knights, horses, jousting, and Cornish hens at Tournament of Kings. Everyone will love the rowdy, thrilling, and delicious experience of dinner and a show.

While the knights are in the arena jousting to prove their worth, you’ll be living out your childhood dream of eating a multi-course meal with nothing but your hands.

That’s right, as you pull juicy pieces of Cornish hen off the bone, your eyes will be enthralled by the Tournament of Kings show down below. The Excalibur Tournament of Kings doesn’t stop at just jousting. The show takes audiences on the journey of a Prince trying to find his wife.

Along the way, there are beautifully choreographed dances, knight-worthy competitions, and a lot of laughs. This show is an updated version of “King Arthur’s Tournament” which ran for 9 years before the new and improved Tournament of Kings was brought to life.

Tournament of Kings Review

Upon entrance to the King Arthur Arena, you’ll first enjoy an enticing medieval meal of Cornish hen, roasted potatoes, corn on the cobb, an apple square, and a dinner roll that’s included with your Tournament of Kings ticket.

Don’t spend too much time looking for your silverware because the only utensils allowed are your fingers! As guests work their way through the meal, the show will start.

During the show, you’ll meet different characters, witness the athleticism of 10 different horses, see titanium swords throw sparks as they clang together, and maybe even witness a marriage proposal.

The Tournament of Kings sees several real marriage proposals each year, so if you’re lucky you might be at one of the shows that are packed with even more romance!
