This place exceeded my expectations. Did not allow enough time. The collection is vast and varied. It really is huge. A full day would not cover it. My 11 year old grandson could not get enough.

We spent the whole day here. Absolutely incredible display, that is so beautifully preserved. Staff members were all very friendly and offered their knowledge on the history of the area. In my opinion, $35 for adult entry is far too cheap for the experience at this little village. Not to mention this $35 gets you a 3 day pass! We loved it and will be recommending it to everyone we know.

The demonstrations - the woodworking, blacksmithing, printer & John Deere tractor were terrific. The craftsmen are very knowledgeable & enthusiastic. The display of so many historical artifacts is unbelievable - a fantastic collection from days gone by.

Well preserved and presented displays of the past with working engines and machinery. Allow a full day. There is so much to see.

My son loves trains so a train trip is a must on any holiday, so we went to Herberton to ride the train and the village was going to be secondary. The train ride was great but the village was amazing. At the front door I thought the entry price might be a bit steep however I was wrong. For what’s there it’s cheap as some of the items on display are worth a lot of money and the up keep wouldn’t be cheap. There’s even a wonderful kids playground which looks new and the facilities are so tidy and clean. The downside is we didn’t allocate enough time to see everything so I would recommend at least a few hours. As mentioned by others it’s a three day pass which is awesome however it’s a bit to far to drive back with the kids even though this kid wanted to do it. Well worth the trip.

There is a reason they offer a complimentary 3 day pass. It truly would take 3 days to see and experience everything. What an amazing place! The rich history and countless pieces from a bygone era will leave any traveller overwhelmed and wanting to learn more.
