Before Visiting Families can access Sovereign Hill’s Social Stories. They have been developed to assist people on the Autism Spectrum to become familiar and comfortable with Sovereign Hill before they visit. For example, it might be helpful to read The Social Story – The Inclined Rail before you take a Gold Mine Tour.

Special Advice Visitors are welcome to bring their own torches for use during mine tours. If parents get lost, children should tell a costumed member of staff straight away. Staff will assist lost parents by getting them to the Post Office (Visitor Map No. 16) where they will be reunited with their children. Coach rides cannot stop during the trip so it’s a good idea to watch the coach do a few laps first to see if it is something you would like to do. Drinking taps are hidden in wooden barrels around Sovereign Hill. Gold Panning at the creek is a very soothing activity.
