Here's all you need to know before heading out to the Ballarat Wildlife Park.
Established in 1970, Soverign Hill is an open-air museum in Golden Point that portrays the first 10 years of Ballarat after gold was discovered there in 1851. Go here to enjoy a fun learning experience with costumed characters, horses, and cats that displays what life was back in the Victorian Goldfields. See the amazing gold pour where $160,000 worth of gold is melted and converted into a 3 kg bullion or watch the outdoor show Aura, an after-dark theatrical experience. While you’re at it, dress-up and take photographs with your friends in the old-timey photography studio!
The oldest and largest regional Australian gallery, the Art Gallery of Ballarat was established in 1884. It is home to Australian art from colonial to the contemporary periods. Discover here works of Fred Williams, Sidney Nolan, Clarice Beckett, Arthur Boyd, and other famous artists. The heritage-listed Gallery building also hosts temporary exhibitions and often puts on shows inspired by the works in the gallery.
A fantastic place to spend time with the whole family, the Ballarat Botanical Garden is 40 hectares and has an Ex-Prisoner of War Memorial which honors the many thousands of prisoners held during the World Wars, and the Korean War.
