Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament with Kids + Ticket Giveaway!

We have visited the Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament Show in Buena Park several times now and and every time, we have a blast! The show is fun, family-friendly, and it includes dinner. As we walk through the Court of Flags, they crown us, and we instantly feel like we are in for a great adventure! One of the first things we did upon entry is meet Princess Catalina for a photo opportunity. This varies between the King, a Knight, or Princess. The printed keepsakes are optional to buy and distributed later in the show.

Adventure City Little Theme Park Anaheim

One of the attractions that is big on family fun is the little theme park in Anaheim – ADVENTURE CITY! Did you know this amusement park is right down the street from Knott’s Berry Farm (between Ball and Cerritos) on Beach Boulevard? This family owned and operated park has 17 rides, shows, and attractions including a petting zoo, a misting rain room, arcade, and Thomas & Friends area which is a great resting spot. Their newest ride is a coaster called “Rewind Racers”. It goes backwards, forwards, and once it reaches the top, it goes backwards in rewind! It is a favorite! With admissions like $18.95 per person, unlimited rides, and free parking, it’s really hard to beat! This park is not that big, but it’s packed with things to do for all ages. It’s also the perfect size for the little ones. The park is not super crowded like the others so it’s less time in lines and more time on rides. I’ll highlight a few with height and age restrictions below.
