A great place to spend a few hours (as two 19 year olds, my boyfriend and I got around it quickly, would take longer with children I expect). Learnt heaps and is a gorgeous place to explore. Loved the mine tour and recommend doing this despite having to pay for it. Only major negative is once inside soverign hill you... More

We visited Sovereign Hill over the Queens’ Birthday long weekend. Even though we enjoyed the day with our teenage children and another family, we felt that the whole experience could be vastly improved if Sovereign Hill followed the example of many “castle attractions” in the United Kingdom – and actually had written signs/information telling visitors all about each exhibition. As... More

The park is well organized, with a lot of activities to do during one day and gives the possibility to go for Gold Panning as long as you want. We spent a nice day here.

April 2012 visit, just remembered to write it up. Live the life of a prospector, pan for gold (they put some in fresh each day), watch ingots being made, ride the stagecoach.

Took the family here in early 2012, Great place for the family to visit. Reminded me when I was a child and we went there on a family holiday. Didnt have as much when I was a child and drinks etc were a bit pricey etc but being a great tourist attraction it is to be expected. All workers were... More

The fact that you can visit for two days in a row, makes this a less stressful, more enjoyable attraction. The staff were very helpful,... More

We, 2 x adults and 2 x kids, went to Sovereign Hill on the school holidays. Had a lovely time and it didn't break the bank. Entry was discounted (use your vouchers from the Entertainment Book to get 25% off) and bring your own picnic lunch. Most of the activities were either free or reasonably priced. The kids had a...
