I came with a one day tour group and it was good. This is the second time I have been to Sovereign Hill. The last time I went it was twelve years ago with my aunty on the Melbourne tour. I liked going down into the mines. I think that is the only place worth going. There is a bakery... More

We booked for the dinner and show as well They show was grat The dinner not so. Pity that the school children were not kept a closer eye on the day we visited Spoiled it a little bit Went back next day which was much better

I read lots of these reviews, and especially the bad ones, so I felt prepared for all the negatives. The biggest concerns I had were prices and possible boredom, but I need not have worried about either.

We visited Sovereign Hill on Good Friday 2013, and had a great day. We were advised by friends to pre purchase our tickets as the lines are very long to get in at 10am, so we did this by visiting SH the day before.

This place has really paid attention to the little details. I have been to similar themed "gold rush" parks in other countries, and this is the best I have seen. Very authentic and so much fun for the kids. Really geared towards families, and kids will love exploring all the houses.

Sovereign Hill living museum was brilliant, after visiting Beamish living museum in UK I was a bit sceptical as to how they would compare. Need I have worried we were greeted by one of the members of staff who had actually been working in Beamish in the UK so we could exchange notes. After we had been there for most... More

Great day out immersing yourself in the gold rush days. Lots of "hands on" activities for the kids - bowling, candle dipping, panning for gold etc. Some incur an additional charge. The kids particularly enjoyed the underground gold mine tour.
