Dark Ages Museum
The Dark Ages Museum is a fun place to go for children and adults of all ages. We welcome anyone wanting to dress up in the medieval times outfits. There are multiple stations set up for each of the battles that were fought. At each station there are multiple buttons for certain areas of the battle field that holograms will show you what happened at that time and place. Every station of the museum will have the layout of the battlefield that went on during every part of Lord of the rings. By watching all of the holograms at each station you will understand more about the movie and they will explain aspects that maybe you didn't quite understand properly
Sword Fighting
Here in the Dark Ages Museum we want to show how some of the sword fighting works. In this event you will choose a plastic sword and the instructor will then show you a few tricks. You will then spar with your opponent until one of you gets hit three times. Then the next two will get ready to spar.
Testing the equipment
Here you will be able to test on the actual armor that the Lord of the Rings characters wore. You can choose to try on the Leather armor, Chain mail armor, or the Plate mail armor. Each piece has its ups and downs. The Leather armor is light by provides little protection while the chain mail is heavier but provides protection against arrows. The plate mail is the heaviest and provides Protection against all sorts of attacks.
Archery Practice
The archery practice is set up so that you can be on top of a tower and shoot the bow and arrows down at the target. An instructor will show you the basics on how to hold and shoot the bow and arrow but, you will actually get to aim at the targets below just like our heroes did in Lord of the Rings.
