Good for kids
Good spend the day with kids. But it is all about spendings. Kids are so excited to that anyway 😂. Venue is well organized no issues there. It is ok to visit once there.

Trip at sovereign hill
Visiting Sovereign Hill was like stepping back in time to the gold rush era of the 1850s. The meticulous attention to detail brought history to life, from the costumed actors to the authentic buildings. Panning for gold in the creek was a highlight, offering a hands-on glimpse into the past. Wandering the streets, I explored the charming shops and watched fascinating demonstrations, like candle-making and candy crafting. The sound of horse-drawn carriages and clattering blacksmiths added to the immersive atmosphere. Mine tour was truly unforgettable. It was an educational and enchanting trip.

Fun and Informative
We loved our day at Sovereign Hill. I took my 2 daughters (11 & 14) and my sister in law visiting from oversees to Sovereign Hill. We loved the atmosphere througout the village, it's great that all employees/volunteers are dressed according to the time of the Gold rush. The tours were all great, and the tourguides very enthusiastic and friendly. We arrived at 11.30 and didn't stop once. I'd recommend going earlier so you can make the most of your day and also take some time to relax near the playground and dam.
