  Our group had an incredible time at Sovereign Hill. There was so much to see and do, I only wish we had more time. It's the perfect activity for kids! As a mom of a 6 and 11 year old, I highly recommend it! The employees at Sovereign Hill are so passionate and entertaining! Thank you Janelle and Jennifer for your hospitality. We will be back soon for some delicious Raspberry Drops and fun times at Sovereign Hill.

  Must go to place if you're near Ballarat Wildlife Park, it's just a 4mins+ drive away. You'll spend about 3hours or more at this place. Closing time is 5.30pm, but most shops inside closes at 5pm. Their large carriage rides, gold panning area, mini tours etc. Went for the secret chamber tour and it was totally worth it. Thumbs up to our tour guide Adrian! Best time to go is around 1.30 - 2pm, when the sun is not so blazing during Dec period (which was the time we went). Weather was still quite cooling even though the sun is scorching. Still better than the weather in Singapore :)

  Good value for money. Visited the Bakery for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. There was so much to see and do and learn. It's an important experience every Australian and Chinese person should experience. It's definitely a full day but there is so much else to do in Ballarat that it makes sense to stay a few days.

  Just spent 2 days here and had a magnificent experience. Went with a school group and did the dress up school experience. I really enjoyed getting dressed up in 1850's clothing and the kids had a ball and enjoyed their experience dressing up as school children. The staff were brilliant and so accommodating, thanks to Stephanie who was our school teacher for the 2 days and she really made kids feel comfortable for the 2 days. The kids loved how strict she was and i think they really got a lot out of the experience. The meal we had before the night show was beautifully and the show "blood under the southern cross " was brilliant.

  Lots do do and the walking around in itself kept the kids from going feral. The demonstrations are informative and interesting but not too long. The gold mine tour scared some kids but others found it fun. The school was informative and the kids remember lots of interesting tid bits and appreciate their life of today. Gold panning was a good time filler and some found specs of gold
