Medieval Times is basically a big, castle-shaped arena where they put on shows in the style of a Medieval jousting/fighting tournament. They have actors who are trained with the weapons and horses, and they put on a very realistic show, complete with maces, swords, lances, and all the other kinds of fights you'd expect. It's sort of like professional wrestling, only with actual weapons and horses. They have a "storyline" to go with the fights and keep everything going with the theme that you're at a Medieval tournament.
While you watch the show, you eat a Medieval-style dinner, and you get assigned a knight to root for based on their color. They give you little paper crowns to wear based on your knight, which the kids love. All in all, it's a good experience - you have a fun evening, adults will enjoy it just as much as the kids, and you can rationalize it as being at least kind of educational. I say kind of because it's a sanitized, Hollywood version of the Middle Ages - but something realistic probably wouldn't be any fun.
It costs about $40 for adults and $25 for children. That's for the evening, including the meal. You can view the official web site here. They've got some videos and pictures of what you can expect from the show on there. The Myrtle Beach Medieval Times is located at:
