Amazing effort by everyone involved to present such an incredible range of goodies from the past. Great to stroll around, look in the shops, see how the houses and businesses (doctor, police etc) were set up. So much to see! And stop for lunch at the cafe near Rose Cottage... $30 for a tasty feed for two of us. Better than at the pub! Only open Sundays. Make the effort, you won't be disappointed read less

The Australian Pioneer Village is a wonderful place for the whole family to experience, and with the fantastic volunteers that manage this magnificent museum, makes it feel if you are in the 1800s. Me and My wife visit The Australian pioneer village a few time's a year and enjoy the sites and smells and the atmosphere of the village. We love the billy tea and damper with butter and honey as we sit and relax in this wonderful village, we both walk around and enjoy spending the day in the peaceful village around us. The Australian pioneer village is a fantastic place to learn and experience what life was like and how people used to live and work and everyday living in the early days, The Australian Pioneer Village is a magnificent place for all to visit. read less

Vintage style is good for photography. If you love about photography, I do recommend you to get old-style dresses. The mini train ride and an old car. Awesome Australia heritages places. Plenty of car park. Nice Damper Camp, nice food and drink. The price is fine. You can have food and drink with the old-style place. 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's was an awesome experience. The only regret I have is not taking the kids earlier as the shows start at 10.30 and the last one is at 2.30pm. On Sundays the gates close at 4.00pm. But would definitely go back and recommend my friends. read less

Great way to learn about Australian history. They have scheduled activities (may change on short notice depending on how many volunteers they have). Wish we stayed longer because I wanted to see inside of the public school house but it was around 2pm to 3pm. Definitely worth a visit again. read less
