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.

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.
