Sovereign Hill, Ballarat

Great set of attractions and worth spending the whole day there. Photography was sold out on arrival at 10.30 so book it early. Staff working there are always in character which is impressive, compared to other local attractions. Do the mine tours first (some extra cost) and that will free you up to walk around casually after. Horse ride also available although you queue longer than the actual horse ride which only does one small circle lap around the centre part. Should be around the whole place for the price they charge. Food is okay although not enough hot food shops. Queues for food stands were too long. Winter Wonderland was worth it and very professional. Aura was amazing at night time and worth the extra cost. It's up there with some international shows. Overall great day out

Amazing day, very informative, loved how people were in period dress. Great way to learn about the Gold Rush here. We came back for the Winter Wonderland. Oh my what a spectacular event. Came down from Queensland and was well worth it! Congratulations to Sovereign Hill, brilliant effort! We planned for Gold, went down the mine, brilliant experience!
