Incredible experience

First but not last time there. My husband and I loved everything. Staff members are always smiling, friendly and ready to help and the place is amazing. You literally go back in time!!!! Looking forward to go again for their winter wonderlights.

Sovereign Hill

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

Intéressant

Visite en famille qui permet de mieux comprendre le travail des mineurs de l'époque. Visite de la mine assez expéditive mais instructive. Dommage pour les étrangers qu'il n'y ait pas de casque audio

Waste of money in a cost of living crisis

Over $110 spent for a family of 3 to enter the park, not including food and souvenirs… that was even with a discount from bookme!!! Complete waste of money during a cost of living crisis… outings like this is a luxury & this was a HUGE disappointment!! After a musket shooting display and some colonial type singing our hopes were high, rapidly went downhill…performances which were advertised times were non existent…school kids running around like unsupervised brats, otherwise ghost town…no information explaining the historical areas!! Felt very sorry for numerous foreign tourists walking around aimlessly with no signage!! Will HIGHLY recommend avoiding!!!
