Behind the Scenes at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Myrtle Beach

Greetings, lords and ladies! I'm Genevieve, your veteran wench blogger, sharing exclusive insights from the dais at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in beautiful Myrtle Beach, S.C. With years of experience, I'll reveal daily life at the castle and share fascinating medieval history.

For first-time visitors, Medieval Times offers a thrilling, family-friendly feast and tournament set in 11th-century Spain. As honored guests, savor a delicious four-course banquet while witnessing breathtaking horsemanship, falconry, music, and intense tournament games. Cheer loudly for one of our six Knights of the Realm—typically the one in your seating section—or root for them all!

Behind the Scenes at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Myrtle Beach

Experience it yourself—it's unforgettable! Our newest show premiered this summer, featuring innovative elements. Our magnificent horses shine, opening with the enchanting Liberty Horse, an Andalusian stallion. This 1,300-pound performer executes gravity-defying steps perfectly synced to the new Medieval Times soundtrack—a captivating spectacle. All our horses are bred and trained exclusively for Medieval Times, receiving top care from expert trainers.

The production boasts more live jousting, swordplay, and falconry. Award-winning composer Daniel May, who scored IMAX films and features, crafted the soundtrack—his third for us—starting in fall 2010. It perfectly enhances the dinner and tournament experience.

I must prepare for the next show, but here's exciting news: The production includes a new storyline, lighting, choreography, battle scenes, costumes, horse dressage, and a custom score recorded in Kiev, Ukraine.

Fare thee well—we hope to welcome you to the castle soon!

    Like our first visit to Lanai, we approached Molokai with curiosity and uncertainty.

As avid ocean enthusiasts, we anticipated a departure from our usual Hawaiian adventures. Our flight from Maui to Ho’olehua Airport offered stunning aerial views of Molokai’s rugged coastline and pristine, empty beaches, hinting at the raw beauty ah

    99% of our free time and weekends are spent hours away from Seattle hiking and backpacking through the beautiful trails that Washington gracefully provides. This weekend, my wife and I, along with our two little paw friends, indulged ourselves in what Seattle has to offer us: delicious bites, piers, parks, and so much more! Believe it or not, we were able to get ourselves lost in nature without having to step out of Seattle. This is what makes Seattle unique—there are skyscrapers, the hustle
