Sovereign Hill is a must see and probably the most iconic spot in the whole of Ballarat so you'd be silly not to check it out, even if you're just going to grab a jar of their famous raspberry drops (hard candies).

It's a fun-filled historical theme park where visitors can step back in time to the 1850s gold rush era and wander the grounds filled with old buildings and live actors walking the streets and working in the shops (they're really good and won't break character)!

From gold panning and confectionery demonstrations to interactive experiences and cultural precincts, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, you can even stay at the on-site hotel for a truly immersive experience. With a mix of history, entertainment, and education, Sovereign Hill offers a unique and memorable adventure for all ages.
