Visited Sovereign Hill in Ballarat and absolutely loved it! It is truly a place where history comes alive. The old buildings, heritage streets, traditional shops, and vintage atmosphere make you feel like you have stepped back in time. As we say, “old is gold,” and Sovereign Hill is a perfect example of that. The attention to detail in preserving the old heritage is amazing and worth appreciating. It was a wonderful experience for the whole family, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ballarat. Definitely worth visiting!

Myself and my friend have not been to sovereign Hill since we were in grade 2 and grade 3 at primary School. We are now in our 50s and the memories that were regained from our younger years this week at Sevenhill were very special. The ticketing system work extremely well and being able to walk straight into the attraction at the start of our day was less stressful and maybe for a wonderful experience throughout.

An excellent way to experience a lot of interesting animals, including gentle patting of kangaroos! Compact and easier for children and those who don't like long walks! Tickets via Headout accidently charged for an extra adult but after notififying at Ballarat Wildlife Park on entry, Headout were prompt and polite with the important refund after I emailed. Thanks Ballarat Wildlife Park for a wonderful time with my grandchildren (7&10yrs) and thanks to Headout!

We had an amazing time at the Ballarat Wildlife Park! Using the Headout tickets at the entrance was super quick and easy, which got our day off to a great start. The staff were some of the kindest I have ever met. Getting up close to the koalas and seeing the incredible reptiles was unforgettable. We also fed the kangaroos, and they were such cute animals! It was my first time seeing these animals and the penguins. Thank you to the Ballarat Wildlife Park for providing this experience. I highly recommend it!

The park was great and my son loved it, especially being able to feed the kangaroos. Also loved the gift shop. Only compliant was they needed more staff at entrance and have line for pre booked tickets and also more staff at cafe, very slow service.
