Eureka Centre Ballarat

Very interesting, had never heard of this, so glad we went. It's a great place with beautiful grounds. Cafe is really good. If you're interested in history you should call in. Staff in reception are very welcoming and helpful.

The Eureka Stockade has often been referred to as the birthplace of Australian democracy and every visitor will understand why as they learn the details of the 1854 battle. A worthwhile visit, even just to see the original Eureka flag in the flesh. Souvenir shop attached and new exhibits are changed every couple of months. Locals of Greater Ballarat area even receive a cheeky discount 😉

A must stop when staying or travelling through Ballarat.
Under $10 entry to the Eureka Stockade museum, $6 for concession.
It's a self walk museum with interactive displays. To actually see the original Eureka Stockade flag is worth the entry price in itself. I love Australian history, and Ballarat has so much of it.
Well laid out, easy to get around, I only needed 40 mins to go in and out.
Cafe (open to public) was quite large & really busy when l was there.
I actually enjoyed the outside area as much. The monuments, flags, and parkland are beautiful.
I'm glad l stopped to visit.

I was honoured that I got see the Eureka original flag & to be standing on the location where the Rebellion took place.
The centre has alot of information on the men & women who risked their lives in the fight for miner's rights & stories of the Eureka Rebellion. So when you are in Ballarat go & see a part of Australian history.

Very educational and definitely worth the visit as it's apart of Australia history

Well laid out and an interested place to read about the Eureka Stockade. Seeing the original flag was a highlight.

Excellent purpose-built museum and commemorative centre focusing on a key event in Australian history. Well worth a visit

Great part of our history. All nations together . As it should be now. We are one not divided. I'm glad I visited this museum.

Really nice place to visit with the kids! Learn all about an important part of Australia’s history at the museum and then head to Lilly’s for lunch which has a great view of the gardens outside. Play some board games while you wait for your food to arrive and after filling your tummy, perfect time to check out the playground which has lots of sensory elements for the little ones to explore.

A very interesting insight into a part of Australia's history that is hardly ever spoken about
Great Cafe with very reasonable prices a must see in Ballarat 😀👍🏻😎👩‍🦰

Little museum about the Eureka Stockade. Great to learn about history of Ballarat other than gold mining.
There’s a lake and a nice playground outside the museum. Also a nice cafe within the museum if you want a bite.

I dropped into the Eureka Centre as I'd heard so much about it and I wanted to share it with some school clients. Absolutely worthwhile visiting. At only $6 for a child entry fee, it's excellent value for money.
There is plenty to see, with stunningly laid out it has plenty of interactive / educational displays. Viewing the original Eureka flag was quite special to me as a Melbournite. The story that goes along with it is equally interesting.
The centre also has a theatre where presentations are given as well.
There is a coffee shop available on site, although it wasn't open at the time I was there. THere is a gift shop which has some beautiful items for purchase, especially for tourists.
Located just as you drive into Ballarat from the east, it's surrounded by green grass, a playground, toilets nearby and plenty of parking. There are picnic tables and seats and a shelter.
This is a must visit when visiting Ballarat. Sovereign Hill is one thing but this is far more intimate, personal and contained into one facility.
Highly recommend.

Really incredible collection of photos, diaries and stories about the Eureka Stockade the events that led up to it, and what happened in the aftermath.

The Eureka Centre is definitely the cleanest museum I’ve ever been to. I went on Wednesday and the carpets were spotless and the glass displays had no smudges. Very high quality museum and the cleanliness is a testimony to that.

Insightful collection with a variety of items related to the Eureka Stockade. Staff were friedly. Offers concession tickets for students.

A brilliant tribute to the Foundations and History of early Australian's.
Your staff are awesome, they are a tribute. An online presence for the gift and souvenir shop would be an asset to share the Eureka value.

Your Coffee shop is among the best we visited in Ballarat.

Very interesting and informative exhibition of Victoria's Gold rush history. Great aircon, plenty of seats and well stocked souvenir shop. I remember as a kid in the 80s visiting the stockade and there was with the original stockade or replica of the stockade. It was disappointing knowing that has been removed. Exhibition is located in well maintained public gardens that offer picnic areas, children's playground.

A worthwhile place to visit. A well set out museum exhibition of important Australian history. The outside surrounds are well kept and contain a number of memorials. The cafe attached to the museum provides good refreshment.

Worth a visit. Low cost entry and lots of interesting information. Also great Cafe with the best salad!

Fantastic, not what I expected. It celebrates so much. Some of the finest displays I have ever had the privilege to see. The Eureka flag has such a different meaning to me now. The famous speeches room was very moving. But nothing on the song room. Crack that code and you will be truly rewarded. Do yourself a favour.
