The large-scale theatrical production at Arabian Nights features riders and acrobats performing with more than 60 horses, including Walter Farley’s Black Stallion. The nightly performances, featuring delicious menu options, give guests the most incredible experience among Central Florida’s dinner shows.

The entire Arabian Nights performance and dinner show is hosted inside the Palace of Horses, the world’s largest indoor equestrian arena for a permanent show, where  11 different breeds of horses are trained and cared for by the dedicated staff of this amazing dinner theater production.

Your dinner options while you watch the show are:

Someone sent in their address with a guess at a price for something. Looks like they were entering a contest.  How this postcard got out on the market is beyond me!  (I bought it on-line for $4.48)
