Medieval Times Toronto and Car Rental Mississauga
Take a trip back in time during your upcoming car rental Mississauga vacation and enjoy an authentic medieval tournament at Medieval Times Toronto. Guests will be transported back to the 11th century, where King Philippe and his daughter-in-law, Princess Leonore, are hosting a four-course feast. As one of their privileged guests, you’ll be treated to a traditional four course meal and authentic tournament-style competition. But hurry, the tournament is about to begin, and you don’t want to miss one moment of the competition.
A quick history of the show
Medieval Times launched their first unique dinner show in 1973 on the island of Majorca, Spain. This imaginative dinner theatre show is inspired by the true medieval tradition, where the royal family would invite guests to a feast and tournament. While much has changed since the inaugural Medieval Times tournament, the company’s commitment to accuracy remains. Car rental Mississauga travelers can rest assured that the costumes, weapons and competitions showcased at Medieval Times are designed to closely replicate actually medieval activities.
The only Canadian castle is located in Toronto
Car rental Mississauga travelers will find Canada’s only medieval castle in Toronto’s Exhibition Place. Located inside the Ex’s former Arts and Crafts building, the Toronto castle provides King Philippe and his faithful knights with plenty of space to duel. More than 1,400 revellers can attend a tournament at the Toronto castle, which is located near the Differing Gates.
A medieval menu awaits
The bill of fare at the Toronto Medieval Times Tournament features an authentic mix of traditional 11th century food. To start, car rental Mississauga travelers will enjoy garlic bread and tomato bisque soup. This is followed by spare ribs, roast chicken and an herb-based potato. And for dessert – a hearty pastry stuffed with seasonal fruit. All of this is server on platters reminiscent of the middle ages, and sans utensils. Please note that vegetarian meals are available, but only if you request the service when you place a reservation.
Don’t forget to cheer for the horses
The magnificent stallions of Medieval Times are bred exclusively for performance at castles throughout North America. In fact, nearly all of the companies more than 400 horses are raised and trained at the Medieval Times’ Chapel Creek Ranch in Sanger, Texas. Opened in 1991, this 241-acre ranch is home to Quarter Horses, Friesians and Menorcans, as well as Purebred Spanish Andalusians. Training begins early in the life of a Medieval Times’ horse, as there is much to learn. From lead ropes to advanced-level dressage, the horses of Medieval Times are some of the finest show horses in all the land.
