Sovereign Hill

Had an amazing day out and saved money by pre-purchasing a bundle ticket for entry and a mine tour.

Great visit to historical site

It was much larger and more comprehensive than we anticipated with lots of intriguing activities. The costumed interpreters were engaging and informative and made the place “live”. We’re seniors but clearly there were activities that were attractive to all groups. Highly recommended!
