Lovely experience to learn about the gold mining days. School camp kids dress in period costumes and have lessons in the various classrooms onsite.

Buy a day pass and get the next day free. Great value if you are in Ballarat for a few days.

After you've panned for real gold don't forget to visit the boiled lolly shop for red raspberry drops - a Shane Harwood favourite!
