Both of my children (now grown up) visited here on school trips so as adults we've never visited when staying in Ballarat. We spent 2.5 hours leisurely walking around and it was enjoyable. Glad we've been now.

Review of: Sovereign Hill General Entry Ticket
Half price ticket and half the experience. Treating people as if there is a plague. Using video surveilance to monitor people and keep them apart....wiping down seats and surfaces continually.

I visited this place in 2013 and again during my February 2020 Australian trip. Good and hokey as before but this time we went and took the optional mine tour. The tour was the highlight of the visit since you can imagine what the miners had to do to get the gold. Also enjoyed the gold smelting show - $250,000 of gold melted down and made into a bar. Overall, the visit is well worth spending 3-4 hours.…
