Top 1 adventure things to do in Ballarat

1. General entry to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat

Full-day admission to Sovereign Hill — coach rides, gold panning, gold pour, and live demonstrations showcase the 1850s gold rush.

“This reconstructed gold mining town from the 1850s offers a range of activities that kept us occupied for over four hours. There is one self-guided mine tunnel included, with another available for an additional fee. The gold panning activity in a gravelly stream might entertain kids for a short time, but it seems rather pointless. I must also point out that the scone I had during the Devonshire tea was the most rubbery I've ever encountered. In general, it seems more suited to children than adults, but it makes for a pleasant half-day outing.”— Xedos1
