Rute

1. Sovereign Hill is a living museum that presents the story of Ballarat during the gold rush era. Purchase your general admission tickets to Sovereign Hill online here to step back in time and wander the streets and laneways that represent an era gone by. Back in 1851 when Gold was first discovered here, a 'gold rush' was triggered and Ballarat suddenly grew from a tranquil pastoral town to a provincial city attracting dreamers searching for a piece of gold. Sovereign Hill's Outdoor Museum covers 15 hectares of a former gold mining site bringing this historic time period to life through a living township. With over 18 scheduled activities taking place throughout the day, you can find yourself panning for real gold, witnessing musket firing, and seeing boiled lollies, wheels, and candles being made right in front of your eyes. Sovereign Hill is a great family friendly activity for all ages and no doubt you'll walk away with a better sense of Australian history and life in the 1800's.

• 4Needs some new things

  Have visited Sovereign Hill several times over many years. Last visit was with young grandchildren 3 years ago so really wasn't focussed on what I was seeing. The visit prior to that was almost 20 years ago. What I can say is that not much has changed in those 18 years. There seemed to be fewer costumed staff wandering doing presentations, more rooms set up as classrooms. There were lots of school groups wandering around and not many of the general public (although it must be added that it was a cold day). Aura is a fantastic sound-and-light which costs extra, far advanced from the old Blood on the Cross after dark show.

• 4Good look back at the past

  Really enjoyed our day out. The price is a little on the expensive end, however you probably get bang for your buck. Their is people dressed in era clothing constantly around engaging with the crowd. There is something to see every half an hour and guided tours. The souvenir shop was quite good as well

• 5General review

  The staff are friendly and the experience is amazing for everybody. The atmosphere felt like you are walking into the 1850s with staff dressed up. There’s a few bakeries and restaurants to go around sovereign hill.

• 1Terrible customer service, terrible experience

  Terrible customer service. We pre booked a ticket and were not able to attend as our little man became unwell. Emailed their customer service. Would not offer a change of dates or a refund. $150+ for admission. Awful policy, and a customer service team with a lack of empathy.

• 3Not what it once was.

  Sovereign Hill doesnt seem to have the same experience that I remember from past trips. No longer do they have the role-play shoot-out down the main street with horses etc. Its been replaced with a simple 3 gun salute from the balcony of the Hotel- pretty boring. The school has been closed off. You used to be able to sit at the desks and get told off by the teacher played by one of their staff. The whole place seemed to be lacking something and it was pretty boring I felt. Most of their staff seemed to want to be somewhere else! Makes me wonder if they're cost cutting? I'm sure first timers still would find it interesting but no more for me-thats the last trip.

• 4Fun family day out

  It was a fun day out, with lots of things to see and experience, especially for the kids. But you need to be prepared to pay for all of the additional add on activities. A bit of walking along uneven terrain and steps up and down. Many of the staff came across like they really did not want to be there, a bit surprising considering this is such a popular tourist attraction.

About Ballarat

Ballarat is a Victorian goldfields city whose broad avenues, stone buildings and an open-air museum recall the gold rush of the 1850s.

Ballarat stands on the Central Highlands plateau, west of Melbourne, and became rich when gold was found nearby in 1851. Its wide main streets, among them Sturt Street and Lydiard Street, are lined with grand Victorian banks, hotels and a town hall. In 1854 miners rose against licence fees at the Eureka Stockade, a clash remembered as a turning point in the story of Australian democracy.
