Our red section managed to get a rivalry with the green section before the wench came for our drink order! It was a fun, competitive edge that kept the kids entertained and the bachelor parties in our section cheering. Plus, seating is first come, first serve unless you purchase an “upgraded” package.*Īs the arena filled, guest were already chanting for their nights. * Tourist Meets Traveler Tip: Make sure you arrive as the doors open! This will give you plenty of time to explore all the castle has to offer. My husband quickly found a bar for the adults that offered ales and even scotch in souvenir cups you keep. Booths with shirts, crowns, conical princess hats (they are called “hennin” according to one wench), swords, wands, flashing light necklaces, wooden axes, banners, cups and trinkets beyond imagination are offered. A few of the show’s horses are in a viewing area across from a Dungeon that you can tour for an nominal fee. I thought we’d be ushered straight into the arena, but the Chicago Castle is packed with other areas to explore. We were adorned with red paper crowns that my kids didn’t take off until they went to bed that night.
They speak in a manner that is amusing, but not patronizing, while sneaking in a tiny bit of a history lesson.įrom there, guests of the king are divided into sections emblazoned with the color of their knight. As we took a picture with a squire, he asked if the device would snatch his soul or just his handsome looks. You enter the castle and immediately are greeted with titles like “Lord” and “Lady” which is fun, but the staff take the experience seriously and rarely miss a beat. At first I wondered why, but the show soon proved it is so much more than just a kid pleaser. I noted several bachelor parties, a couple of wedding anniversaries and even a 21st birthday that were all being celebrated the night I went. However, you don’t need to have kids to have fun. Now that I have children of my own, I have made it a point to experience the show at least once. (About 30 minutes from Willis Tower.)Īs I child I begged my parents to take me to the giant castle, but we never made it. This paticular castle is just outside the inner city hustle. I was surprised to learn that there are actually an abundance of locations. For some reason I associate the dinner and tournament with Florida.
