Overview

Ballarat's gold rush, brought to life.

Step back in time. EUREKA GOLD! This isn't just a tour, it's a time-travel adventure that brings the 1850s to life at Sovereign Hill, Ballarat's world-famous open air museum.

Begin your day with a personalised meet and greet with characters in authentic period costumes, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience. Witness the Gold Pour presentation and the thrilling Redcoat Parade with musket firing. Try your luck panning for real gold and feel the excitement of the 1850s rush, then descend underground on a guided mine tour to glimpse the harsh conditions miners faced.

Add the guided Ballarat City Tales walking tour (Rezdy 645619, code PCGVXG) for the stories, scandals and hidden laneways behind one of Australia's great gold rush cities.
