Great for kids and adults

We took our 2 daughters, 9 and 7 years old and they both loved it. There was lots to do. I definitely recommend it.

Sovereign Hill

Book Me General Admission Tickets to Sovereign Hill not only saved us money, we were also able to get through the queue faster with our "pre-booked" tickets. We arrived at opening time the queues were already snaking through the carpark. Once inside visitors scattered to various locations throughout Sovereign Hill, the only crowded place was in the "shopping street". Great place for families to visit - lots to see & do.

Boring

We made a special trip from Melbourne to visit this place and regret doing so. We could have spent that day doing a myriad of other better things

Sovereign Hill

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