A good day out
Surprisingly good. Bit of patience needed whilst panning for gold so for the highly strung it’s a good lesson. Awesome old joker helped our strung number out with SUCCESS!! Everyone was a winner. Food good value and wonderful service all round. Worth the visit.

This is amazing !
This was bigger then expected! When you enter you feel like this is it, but then you hop on the train and there’s so much more. I love how they recreated this, it’s awesome ! I highly recommend this if you love the learn about history !

In days of old
A fabulous step back in time. The train trip was a real treat and the hologram theatre is just the cutest. The hospital is plain scary but makes you realise how far we've advanced in medical procedures, thankfully. I had picked up a souvenir book on Shantytown I had found at a garage sale and it had heaps of information about most of the buildings. I was pleased I had bought it. Only one downside was the old time photo was dbl booked and even though we arrived early, the person running it had decided to take a family over us. I was really disappointed.

We had a wonderful time at Shantytown. The whole complex was amazing, so well presented. The staff for us were the highlight, friendly informative and full of laughter and fun. We spent the whole day there and recommend it to any age.
