Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament Celebrates 25 Years with 'Kids Free' Promotion

From PR Newswire:

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament last week announced that North America's most popular dinner attraction will offer its first nationwide "Kids Free" ticket promotion to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

The special promotion, which includes Medieval Times’ Myrtle Beach location and encompasses the company's nine North American Castles, will help guests save up to $40 per ticket for children 12 and under. The "kids free" promotion is available for any performance from May 23 through July 6, 2008.

Each "free kid" must be accompanied by one full-paying adult. Performance times and tickets are available at the company's re-launched Web site, http://www.medievaltimes.com, or by calling 1-888-WE-JOUST (888-935-6878).

The promotion is part of the company's year-long 25th anniversary celebration and timed to coincide with the launch of Medieval Times' first new live production in five years, which is debuting across their castles through the spring and summer months.

"We created this inaugural nationwide 'Kids Free' promotion to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our family-friendly attraction and to thank our valued guests for their patronage over the years," said Kenneth Kim, president and CEO of Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. "Whether families come for a birthday or experience Medieval Times on vacation, we want to take everyone back to the 11th century and help them create memories that will last a lifetime."

At Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, guests experience an evening of quality, family entertainment (including live jousting, sword fights, equestrian skill and falconry) inspired by 11th century history. Guests are taken back in time and encouraged to cheer for one of six "Knights of the Realm," named after historic regions of medieval Spain, while feasting -- by hand -- on a four-course banquet served in true medieval, pre-silverware fashion.

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament launched in Majorca, Spain, in 1973, and opened its first North American Castle in Kissimmee, Fla., in 1983. Now regarded as North America's longest running and most popular dinner attraction, more than 40 million guests have experienced Medieval Times at Castles in Myrtle Beach and Buena Park, Calif., Lyndhurst, N.J., Schaumburg, Ill., Dallas, Toronto, Hanover, Md., and Atlanta.
