Close to downtown Chicago you’ll find one of the country’s most famous and beloved family attractions – the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. At 85,000 square feet, the Schaumburg, IL castle is the largest of the nationwide phenomenon’s eight castles, and is easily reached from Indian Lakes Resort. With 1,430 permanent seats, Medieval Times is open year round for a thrilling family experience.

The Medieval Times experience is one that the entire family will never forget. A combination of fun, feasting, and competition, an evening at the castle will leave you all exhilarated. Guests are greeted by King Alfonso and his daughter Princess Esperanza as they take their seats. A sumptuous feast in honor of the knightly tournament soon begins. To the special delight of the guests, the feast is served in medieval style – with no silverware! While the feast is enjoyed, the legend of a kingdom threatened by betrayal unfolds. Soon a tournament begins, with all the sword clashing and lance-splintering the audience can handle. Six brave Knights compete in the flag toss, ring pierce, and javelin throw before the great Joust begins. Once the knights are unhorsed, they fight on foot with authentic medieval weaponry including sword, axe, mace and bola. Soon the dust settles and one brave Knight will rise victorious above the rest. The whole family will love not only the feast and tournament, but the Medieval Times souvenirs and period costumes, jewelry, weapons, and gifts for sale in the Great Hall.
