Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament-An Exciting Family Evening

We recently went to Medieval Times in Lyndhurst, NJ for Dinner and a Tournament. My husband had been to Medieval Times in another state years ago but, it was the first time for myself and our kids. We were greeted at the door and given red and yellow crowns which were the color of our knight.  After that, we were escorted to our seats and then given a “goodie bag” of special merchandise.

We had great seats at the front of the arena. We sat at a long desk type table allowing us to eat, while not missing any of the action. The waitstaff was great and brought our drinks, soup, main course, dessert and coffee to us. The food is selected so you do not need utensils to eat it. Being able to eat with their hands was a real treat for our kids.

There were also flashing swords and other things you could buy to cheer on your knight. We bought the kids 2 of the flashing LED swords.

When the tournament started all of our eyes were glued to the action. We thought our knight was going to win. Our knight did not win, but he made it to the very last battle. Regardless of the outcome, the evening was still entertaining and fun. Upon exiting the arena, we were able to take photos with the knights as well as buy souvenirs.

After buying some towels and other items, we headed home with great memories. Have you ever been to Dinner and a Tournament at Medieval Times?

As a blogger with the USFG, we received free tickets to Medieval Times. As always my words and views are 100% my own.

LEGO Brick Fest Live Lets LEGO Lovers Get Their Brick Fix! #BrickFest

Lego 19

One of our summer day trips recently took us to Brick Fest Live at the Meadowlands Expo Center in New Jersey.  Our kids are huge LEGO fans, so this was something they were really looking forward to.  We arrived at the center for one of the 4 hour sessions.

When we walked in we were immediately greeted by a full size Woody from Toy Story figure made entirely out of LEGO bricks. We looked at amazing LEGO structures of all kinds-motorized, glow-in-the-dark and one of a kind creations like the full size portrait of Bonnie Raitt.

Then they tried some hands on fun in the huge pit of red LEGO bricks of every shape and size.  My kids loved sitting in a sea or red LEGO bricks and building structures they could then leave for all to see on a display table.

There was a LEGO brick character to take pictures with, LEGO miniature golf, free build areas where you could design your own creations on vertical panels adding to a LEGO billboard of design. Build creations and add them to the LEGO City. Build a race car then race against others.  There was a section for little LEGO lovers that featured multiple sit and build play space filled with single color Duplo blocks.

Of course there were vendors where you could find all kinds of minifigures or build your own, find that rare figure you were looking for and even a bargain LEGO club deal that we could not pass up.  Our kids had a great time and came home with some custom minifigures, a Hulk LEGO, the T-Shirt, backpack, and LEGO building sets and accessories deal.
