Hear Ye, Hear Ye! A Thrive Adventure Awaits

Step back in time for an unforgettable day of thrilling sword fights, heroic feats of skill, and a royal feast! We are thrilled to announce an incredible opportunity to experience the Scottsdale Medieval Times Castle’s 90-minute Educational Matinee at a Super Discounted Rate!

A Quest for Honor and Knowledge

This isn't just a show - it's an immersive history lesson brought to life. Our students will witness the pageantry of the 11th century as they are transported into the heart of a Spanish castle. The experience includes a special educational segment and quiz where students will learn about:

• The Code of Chivalry: Witness the values of the Middle Ages in action.

• Medieval Horsemanship: See beautiful Spanish Andalusians and learn about horse care, terminology, and their vital roles in history.

• Feudal History: Explore the ranks of the nobility and the significance of knightly houses.

• The Art of Combat: Discover the skill behind swordsmanship and the rigorous training required to become a knight.

Students will be enthralled by live demonstrations of falconry, equine dressage, and the pulse-pounding Tournament of Champions, featuring jousting and hand-to-hand combat.

Feast Like Royalty

What is a trip to the castle without a banquet? All guests will enjoy a delicious four-course feast served in the traditional medieval style - no utensils required!

The Royal Menu Includes:

• Oven-Roasted Chicken Quarter

• Sweet Corn Cobbette and Herb-Roasted Potato

• Grandma’s® Chocolate Chip Cookie

Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available upon request to accommodate all dietary needs.
