We spent 2.5 hours here but could easily have spent another one or two - take snacks and water and you’ll be set for a day out. The gardens are in excellent condition, the staff are knowledgeable and passionate and the whole facility was far bigger than we expected. You can go in every building, each of which has displays and information boards within. This is well worth its admission price and a great day out for all ages! read less

My grand daughters missed out on a school trip there due to COVID so we went and I thought I might spend half a day. But we spent a full one and rushed the last bit.

Whilst on our travels in the tablelands we had heard about the little town of Herberton & it’s Historical Village. Never would I have thought we could be so WOWED in a day! From the beginning to the end we had smiles on our faces. Staff were lovely & went above and beyond to ensure we were well educated & had a start & play on several of the vehicles including tractors, old cars & motorbikes. We have 4 children aging from 2-13 years and I can honestly say they all had a ball and our visit here was one of the highlights of our trip!! So many interactive sections that made the day interesting for all ages!! The cafe was clean, cute, offered a beautiful view & staff gave prompt service. The jam drop biscuits a delicious treat!! Our only downfall of the day was that there wasn’t enough time in the day!! Get that extended 2/3 day pass on your way out if you’re in the area for an extra few days there is a whole 16+ acres to explore!! (Don’t forget the joggers also). Will promise to tell everyone about The Herberton Historical Village & our experience! It’s 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars from us! Thanks again; The Parsons Family @the.parsons.adventures read less

We went for the morning and spent five and one-half hours enjoying the experience. There are so many different buildings/shops/workshops to cover everybody's interests. The atmosphere is genuine the displays authentic.
