Not enough? Visit the conservation lab, interact with Viking Warriors, Roman Legionaries and armored knights, have your face painted, enjoy balloon art with Jason Kallio, make a pennant or metal pin, and definitely don't leave without being knighted by the King and Queen (certificate included)!

Hot dogs, pizza by the slice, snacks and drinks will be available in Crusader Café. Medieval and Renaissance dress encouraged (no historical replica weapons of any type will be admitted into the Museum).
