Fun day out

We enjoyed our visit to Sovereign Hill with kids 7 & 4. Their favourite parts were the gold panning (see if you can find someone in costume to help you), the gold pour, the lolly shop and the playground. The bakery was good for lunch and we enjoyed the little scenes that were acted out during the day. The self-guided mine tour was hilarious (4yo thought they were really finding gold). Would recommend for a full day out.

A Journey Back in Time-An Unforgettable Experience

Sovereign Hill is an absolute gem for anyone interested in history, adventure, and immersive experiences! From the moment we arrived, we were transported back to the 1850s gold rush era in Ballarat, Australia. The attention to detail is incredible — from the cobblestone streets to the costumes worn by the friendly staff, every aspect felt authentic and well-crafted.
