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

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. We returned within the week to explore further! read less

Fantastic family day out. Kids loved the train rides, hay rides and animals. Picnic areas and bbq available as well as reasonable priced kiosk if you don't want to bother with a picnic.

Take a step back in time as you explore the buildings and talk to the staff and volunteers who wear period costume. Entry fees are very reasonable, bring a picnic, cook up a BBQ or eat at one of the two eateries on site. read less

The Australiana Pioneer Village is a cool place to learn and experience the Old Aussie Times. You can explore the town or sit down for some tea and scones. Very enjoyable and recommended.

We loved the shops and being able to poke about as much as we wanted. Exhibitions very interesting. The volunteers were very fiendly and happy to have a chat. Food was good, nice and fresh and not over priced. The children liked the animals and feeding them was good. The only problem with the whole experience related to social distancing, although there were signs up about the number of people who could enter a hut there was no one including the staff who were policing it, consequently too many people in some huts/shops. The Hay Tractor was adverstided as only allowing 5 people at a time but infact they were allowing 15 (yes I counted) on at a time. When our turn came I asked that we social distance, the volunteer make it clear he did'nt like this but only put 10 on our ride..this worked because our family bunched up at one end of the cart. To be fair the train was well supervised and only allow the appropriate number on at any one time. Our family of 5 had two carriages. Great place to visit but need to consider carefully if intending to visit in the near future. read less

Especially good for children who can get their Convict Identification Cards....but no Freedom Certificates!
And most cottages and shops are staffed by volunteers dressed up in authentic clothes.
Don't miss the school master keeping the children in discipline with his cane....whilst telling how it was for young people in the past
Choice of food ranging from traditional damper to modern burgers and steak sandwiches....or bring a picnic under the trees read less

Apart from that minor disappointment it was a worthwhile days outing getting a glimpse at the colonial era and the echo's of pre federation settlement. The blacksmith is clearly skilled and knowledgeable and happy to talk about his craft. The chapel was also very pleasant very humble an quiet monument to faith and community. Youd have to be very critical to question the entry price which was $5 a head and the volunteers are clearly passionate and informed for the most part.My thanks to the skilled craftsmen and volunteers that keep this little corner of living history alive and open. read less

Great fun day out with the kids and really great value. Lots of history and interesting things to see... Would just be good if they had ATM or eftpos facilities

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
