Wonderment Abounds During A Medieval Times Educational Show

Posted on May 11, 2017 | Filed Under: Field Trips in Orange County, Giveaways | 27 Comments

Where can you go on a cool lunch date with a Knight, a King, and Princess? To Medieval Times in Buena Park, of course! Recently over spring break, my three kids and I went to see the new Medieval Times Educational Show. Although it had been a few years since our last visit, my children still remembered what a great time they had! As soon as we arrived, my son exclaimed “A castle, a real live castle!” That was just the beginning of our adventure!

Immediately were met by a very kind tour guide, named Alesha, who took us on a behind-the-scenes tour of the castle. She shared with us that the newly revised educational show was geared especially towards schools, families, and students of all ages.

The show still features the same epic battles between the knights and has a lot of sword fighting. However, the battle scenes have been toned down a bit and the show is more appropriate for younger audiences.

Alesha liked to referred to herself as a “Medieval Times” nerd! She told us that Medieval Times was her absolute favorite place to visit during childhood and that the highlight of her summer was going on a field trip to the “great big castle” in Buena Park.

During our tour, it was easy to see why Medieval Times is similar to a castle right out of a fairytale filled with specular horses, knights, a king, and a princess. It was truly magical to see the knights in shining armor, a wide array of Medieval swords and breastplates, and even a Knighting Station, where you can become an official “Knight” yourself!

Are you looking for a unique field trip for your classroom, homeschool group or summer camp? Then check out a Medieval Times Educational Show in Buena Park, California! Imagine a history lesson presented by A King and his Noble Court set within the walls of an 11th century-style castle. Every detail is painstakingly recreated as your students take a personal journey back to the Middle Ages.

Best Time To Visit Mission San Juan Capistrano + Giveaway

Posted on February 6, 2017 | Filed Under: Field Trips in Orange County, General, Giveaways | 20 Comments

One of my favorite places to visit in the late winter, early spring in Southern California is The Mission San Juan Capistrano. The character of the buildings, the history, and uniqueness of the mission add to the charm of the small town which it resides in.

The History of Mission San Juan Capistrano

Mission San Juan Capistrano has been the home to many people over 230 years of history. Its history consists of memories and stories of its past inhabitants and present visitors. It is a place of historical, cultural, and religious significance, as well as a place of inspiration and education.

The story begins in 1775, when Mission San Juan Capistrano was first founded by Father Lasuen, on October 30th. But just a few weeks after the party of padres and soldiers arrived, they received word of the revolt occurring in San Diego. The founding padres, and soldiers decided to leave San Juan Capistrano, and go back to San Diego to help there. Once things had settled in San Diego, Saint Serra personally led a party to re-found Mission San Juan Capistrano on All Saint’s Day, November 1, 1776.
