Medieval Times Corporate Office

Medieval Times was founded in Kissimmee, Florida, in 1983 by Jose Montaner. Montaner actually began in the 1960s with plays in his native Spain.

In 1983 the Spanish investment group Manver opened the first U.S. show at Orlando near Disney World. In 1986 they opened their second establishment near Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California.

The company operates an entertainment arena that offers simulated medieval jousting, sword fights, and other games while patrons eat a buffet-style dinner.

Shows change about every six years, with the latest change being in 2017, where a queen ruled over the games, rather than the traditional king.

Jose’s son Perico Montaner is now the President and CEO of the private company, overseeing 10 locations in 9 states.

In February 2023, workers at the Buena Park, California, location went on strike citing unfair labor practices.

In December 2022, the company donated $10,000 to several food banks across the country.

Medieval Times maintains a corporate office in Irving, Texas.
