This Schaumburg Spot Is A Medieval Themed Restaurant In Illinois

The older I get, the more important I think it is for adults to indulge in the fanciful activities we tend to associate with childhood. That’s why, whether you have kids or not— and certainly, this would be a fantastic outing for families— I recommend checking out Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Schaumburg. While this medieval themed restaurant has an excellent menu, it also comes with an incredible show featuring performers, music, and horses.

Located just an hour outside Chicago, Medieval Times in Schaumburg offers diners a one-of-a-kind, immersive experience. Admittedly, from the outside, it looks more Burger King than King Arthur, but trust me. As soon as you step inside, the atmosphere and anticipation will transport you to *ye olden times*.

That's because, since 1991, Medieval Times has staged spectacular events. The hook is simple: in a land where gallantry and chivalry remain in vogue, a Spanish queen holds a tournament, drawing the land's most dashing knights to compete for her favor.

For the food-oriented, like myself, it's worth highlighting that a delicious meal accompanies this performance. In Medieval Times-speak, this dinner is called "the feast." Trust the Queen will ensure her court— you— is only served the very best.

Pair your adult libations with a must-have entrée at any medieval-themed restaurant: the leg of roast chicken. It's served alongside sweet, buttered corn, a rich tomato bisque, and herb-roasted potatoes.

Don't fear, acolytes of special diets! The Queen won't let you starve! In fact, I think the vegetarian dinner is just as good as the standard fare. Optimize your order and put in for both.

Between your savory meal and the exhilarating show, Medieval Times is a delightful sensory experience. The young will be transfixed by the regal world of long-ago Spain. The old but young-at-heart will experience the joy of make-believe, facilitated by an environment that rewards childlike wonder and a sense of play.

And for the animal-obsessed like myself, the horses are the show's ultimate stars. Impeccably trained and utterly gorgeous, they do the heavy lifting of creating Medieval Times' magic.

If you’re looking for a medieval themed restaurant in Illinois, check out Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, a beloved local fixture for more than three decades. Whether you’re bringing your family or just your inner child, the Medieval Times experience connects you to your sense of wonder, play, and aristocracy.

Though you’ll find it just an hour outside Chicago, I recommend staying the night in the area to enjoy more of what charming Schaumburg offers.
