Spending an evening at Medieval Times is well worth it, but you should know what you're getting yourself into.

That's because the family that started it was Spanish.
Medieval Times was started in the 1970s "as a dinner-theater attraction on the island of Majorca. Javier Romero, a proud son of Córdoba, was there, performing feats of horsemanship for tourists. It has grown to become a theme restaurant empire, with nine castles in North America; horse ranches in Texas, Florida and Maryland; and attendance figures in the tens of millions," explains the New York Times.
