During the program, kids will get to join the Medieval Times knights for a behind-the-scenes look at the show. They'll witness swordplay skills first hand during a weapons demonstration and get to try their own hands at it with an interactive tutorial.
It ends with a "knighting ceremony" with King Carlos himself.
