** Note that for every paid adult admission a child (18 and under) can get in free. They've never run a special like this before. Angie and I've already got our tickets. We can all get tickets separately as long as we're all there in a group to get in when they open the doors.

The journey back to the 11th century begins as visitors are greeted by King Alfonso and his daughter, Princess Esperanza. Guests receive a colored crown corresponding to their seating area and the Knight they will cheer throughout the show. The Master of Ceremonies soon orders the Trumpeters of the Realm to announce the opening of the Grand Ceremonial Arena. Guests proceed to their color-coded pavilion as the sumptuous feast begins. We will leave my house at 2:30 for the 6:00 show. I am thinking about going in costume but not totally sure yet... They recommend being there 90 minutes early for prime seating and the best chance of sitting together. I'd love to be able to sit in the front row! Each person is responsible for purchasing their own tickets at the following url (https://tickets.medievaltimes.com/reservation.aspx). Purchase the Royalty level so we are all together.
