Numerous historic buildings have been relocated to the 16 acre site on the banks of the Wild River. There is something for everyone's interest, with Chemist shops, a schoolhouse, chapel and Masonic Lodge, Garage filled with restored vehicles, and the smell of petroleum. The Toy Store is filled with creepy dolls and dollhouses. We spend a couple of hours wandering the manicured streets. read less

The place is quite big and incredibly well maintained. Lots of authentic original buildings that had been relocated to the site. There’s so much to see that we spent hours wandering around. The blacksmith demonstration was the highlight of the day! The cafe also has delicious scones and cakes. Well worth the entry price. read less

You purchase a ticket which you can use over a 3 day period. I was there from 10am to 5pm the first day and 3pm to 5pm the next. There is just so much to see and read about. They do close the entry from 3pm as they believe 2 hours is not enough time for viewing. They have live demonstrations of blacksmithing, wood turning, miniature steam engines, vintage cars running, vintage john deer tractors running. In each shop, pub,school,house, bank, post office, shed etc there are displays after displays of you name it and it will be there. A amazing collection. What really impressed me was the cleanliness of everything. The sheds even with the old machinery sitting around it wasn't covered in cobwebs or layers of dust.I highly recommend seeing this village. read less

Very tidy,plenty of toilets. There is also a Cafe, where you can buy a light meals.Very educational and lots of photo opportunities. They have a few demonstrations, through the day.I don't think it is very wheelchair friendly, as there are lots of hills and steps to get in to the buildings. read less

It was their heritage weekend so they had live music and character dressing everywhere. Absolute wonderful experience. Even the pharmacy had a knowable Alchemist.The restorations are first class, buildings perfectly set up and a great day out. Able to stay dry all day by hopping from one building to another. Gifts and souvenirs are available in the entrance shop at ok prices.Lions had a BBQ so food was available. read less

Best museum and collection I have ever seen with staff keen to help and educate you on what they know, When we are back up this way we are coming for another visit for sure, Thankyou for a great day out guys read less

Great place, stacked with lots of things you will remember from Years ago!! Well worth the visit!!
