Cần Quan Tâm

Sovereign Hill

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.

There are several demonstrations, activities and events that help to explain how life was in an old mining town. It’s quite hilly so be prepared for the walk. It’s an interesting and educational place and it’s worth a visit.
Amazing experience

I remember going to Sovereign Hill multiple times as a kid which is about an hour drive from Melbourne, in 1851, there were large discoveries of gold in Bathurst, New South Wales then soon in Bendigo, Victoria and Ballarat. When news came to the world, people worldwide began, people from Britian, Ireland, China, Germany, France, and other European countries up to 300,000 people came to Australia starting the Australian Gold Rush. I remember there being underground tours explaining some popular stories in the Gold Rush like 2 brothers digging for gold at night and the mines suddenly tumbled, how one died and one escaped, the main street in Sovereign Hills are 19th century houses with people dressed in old western clothing making you feel like you in the 1850's. Overall, if your visiting Ballarat, I highly recommend visiting this place, prices are budget friendly whilst the staff members are really nice, my most cherished memory was going into the underground mines by the diagonal mine cart.
Fun fun fun

We paid nearly$ 100.00 dollars to get in for a couple! It's a very expensive day so take your money! We had four adults and two children and it's a busy day! There's lots to see which is great! Shops to go in lovely staff there and music which is great! You pay for a lot as you go though like your down gold mine! Lollies at shop and wanted posters but some things you don't ! Beautiful pies at pie shop but they ran out so over to kiosk which has great variety! Lovely staff but if your worried with covoid there forget it ! It needed tables cleaned badly there! I complained about toilets they were filthy! Lady told me won't be cleaned till 2.30 pm ! For the men to complain how bad they were they were terrible! Please it's a big place making good money and windows needed good clean up there so I don't understand how you can leave it like this!
Great staff

Brilliant day out !! Lots of walking so bring good shoes as it is on dirt. ( it is 1850). All the shopkeepers, presenters and shows were OUTSTANDING!! This is the best way to get the most out of the day - Go to every “show” you can - the pantomime is a must!! We listened to the digging talk and building Ballarat - (not sure of the name) the lad who was from Yorkshire - was hilarious, informative and generous of his time. Everyone was informative. Some shows crossed over by 10 min, so that was hard, but understandable. If you asked questions they enthusiastically responded in Character. We went mid week, it was a nice day- took our own food, but spent money in the shops on experiences and coffee. Terrific for all ages, all day … lots of places to sit and rest… if you needed to. A must for all and would be an amazing school excursion for kids/ teens.
Enjoyable day out

Great day out going back in time. Interesting conversation with a "shrouding woman" in the funeral home who explained the role of shrouding women in 1800s Victoria. The mine tour and gold pouring were great. An enjoyable day out.
Terrible humiliating experience.

Rude staff who treat people with mask exemptions as if they are diseased and will give you disgruntled looks, I was even denied from being able to participate in an underground mine tour as a result of not being able to wear the mask. Everything was also expensive and very little is actually included with the entrance fee and you are essentially paying to walk down a short street of shops.
Nice day, but….

My daughter and I enjoyed our day at Sovereign Hill, although it didn’t get off to a great start. The staff member conducting the ‘Diggers tour’ spent most of the time preaching her political views to unsuspecting tourists. Her commentary was ill informed and wreaked of prejudice. Luckily I was there to set the record straight with my daughter. Aside from this we enjoyed the day and the various tours and activities it had to offer.
