It’s time to move that once-per-year suggestion to go to Medieval Times out of the group chat. An evening at the immersive experience is unique, to say the least, and DFW boasts one of only 10 locations across the country.
Here’s what you can expect and some advice to make the most of it:
Transport to the 11th century during the two-hour show. Depending on your seat, you will have a knight to cheer on as they fight to protect the queen and the kingdom.
A four-course feast is served during the show. Eating with your hands is more authentic, but you can ask for cutlery. The cocktail menu is less authentic.
Our biggest tip: Arrive early. Doors open an hour before the show, giving you plenty of time to look around the Hall of Arms, get some photos, and snag some merch.

Using hidden cameras, the BBC caught workers at a scam call center laughing at the people they were tricking.
The disturbing truth? Scammers don’t pick phone numbers at random. They buy your data from brokers.
Once your data is out there, it’s not just calls. It’s phishing, impersonation, and identity theft.
That’s why Incogni stands out. The data removal service deletes your personal info from the web, then continuously monitors and removes new data as fresh threats emerge.
