What a privilege to explore this historical village and enjoy the miniature trains, hayride and animal feeding time. My kids absolutely loved the free bikes to get around for the special Science and Nature day. A testament to the dedicated volunteers who give of their time.

Beautiful grounds, picnic areas, BBQs, toilets. Cheap entry, free parking. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
If you are visiting Sydney, it's well worth a day trip to the Hawkesbury region. read less

Greeting and dressed like the old days. When you standing on the main street It gives you the feeling that time traveled back for 100 years.Price is cheap. Lots activities to do. And the Devonshire tea is a must try.Only down side is the waiting time for the train ride. We waited 40mins to get the admin tickets and another 40mins to get a train ride.But still it doesn’t bother us enjoying the site.Great job. Would definitely recommend to others. read less

It features genuine, (not replica), buildings from Sydney’s distant past set into a colonial village atmosphere. Entry is only $15 family (4) people (as at 1/2020). The food also is about half the price of anywhere else, and probably twice as good. It is an enormous spread of land with sheltered picnic ares in abundance. Only open Sunday and public holidays from 10am to 4pm. It is operated and supported by volunteers, hence the cheap prices. The village atmosphere and free guided tours was enjoyed by all of us from 11 year old to 73 years old. It’s located about 5 minutes drive north of Windsor NSW. You will have a great family day and it cost very to similar places. It needs patronage to keep open, or genuine places like this could be lost forever. I hope you support this historic attraction. read less

Our large group was broken into smaller groups. Each group had an historian and a medium.Night started with fish, chips, salad and a cold drink. An alternate meal was chicken, chips, salad and a drink. At the end of the tour, coffee, tea, cakes and biscuits were served. read less

It's a place frozen in time. Everyone is dressed up to fit the time of early settlers.You get to see how kids were educated in the day and lots of other sights and sounds to really take you back in time.Highly recommended. read less

Entry was super cheap! My small sons loved the reptiles and horses and penny farthing rides, my husband and i loved the historic value of the whole place... we will definitely go again! Lots of shady areas too, which was good for such a hot day. Make sure to buy some souvenirs whilst you're there, or grab a treat from the candy shop, or damper and tea from the cafe. Delicious!!! read less
