10 Fun Things to do in Kissimmee at Night

“Night life is when everybody says what the hell and you do not remember who paid the bill.” – Ernest Hemingway

“Doth thou have a mug of ale for me and me mate? He has been pitched in battle for a fortnight, and has a king’s thirst for the frosty brew that doth might brow for doth!”– “Chip Douglas” (Jim Carrey) at Medieval Times in The Cable Guy (1996)

Let’s face the facts – Kissimmee, Florida, is not going to end up on any of those crazy lists of “Hardest Partying Cities,” “Best Cities for Trendy Nightlife” or “Booziest Cities” anytime soon (and for that we can be eternally grateful!). At first glance, you may even very well believe that the entire city, affectionately known as “Kowtown” for its rich history in the cattle industry, simply turns off its lights and goes to sleep at the first sign of sundown – allowing its sister city Orlando to enjoy all the nighttime fun. However, a closer look reveals that Kissimmee actually boasts a veritable smorgasbord of fun-filled nightly activities that range from bustling beach-inspired nightclubs and lively medieval-themed dinner shows to laid-back British pubs and relaxing whiskey lounges. There are also plenty of free things to do in Kissimmee.

Best of all, it’s always good to know that you don’t have to drive all the way to Downtown Orlando, Disney Springs, or rely on the things to do on International Drive or Universal CityWalk in order to hoist a frothy mug of brew and simply chill out after a busy day wandering aimlessly around busy Orlando theme parks! Here are 10 fun things to do in Kissimmee at night:

1 | Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament | Perhaps you only know of Medieval Times indirectly from watching a frantic Jim Carrey as “Chip Douglas” ham it up as a jousting knight much to the chagrin of Matthew Broderick as “Steven Kovacs” in the 1996 dark comedy The Cable Guy (see introductory quote above). Why not travel back in time to the age of chivalry and experience the real deal for yourself? Billed as “North America’s #1 Dinner Show,” Medieval Times opened in Kissimmee way back in 1983 and today continues its legacy of offering “Epic Battles of Steel and Steed.” Highlights of Medieval Times, which is housed in a huge European-style castle, include a thrilling, two-hour medieval jousting tournament featuring six competing knights on horseback in the Grand Ceremonial Arena, an abundant “hands-on” four-course feast (featuring roasted chicken, herb-roasted potato and corn cobette) and even the live flight of the royal falcon, as well as the Hall of Arms, King’s Hall and Medieval Life Museum.
