What travellers say about Ballarat

You can experience riding a mine cart down the mine shaft, with a 45-minute guided tour, which is quite a novel experience. Overall, it's pretty good! However, considering the two-hour drive and ticket price, the value for money isn't very high, so it's not a must-see attraction. If you're short on time, you can skip it; if you have more time, it's still a great option!

We are able to feed and pat the free roaming kangaroos and to pay for certain animal encounters to get close to the animals. There's also timed animal talks too.

The Ballarat Botanical Gardens is not very large, but it has several greenhouses, all of which are powered by solar energy and are very warm all year round. There are many plants from all continents of the world planted in it, with many varieties. It is definitely worth a visit.
