Travelled from Barmera to Loxton (about 40 min trip). Village is down near river. Great spot. I think it was $32 for family. Each building has interesting facts about the old days when you enter it. Some sheep and a friendly kangaroo also roam around. Just enough to see with a young family. Will be back with parents for a more detailed look.
We went on a quiet day as school holidays hadn't started. Had a two for one voucher thanks to travelauctions.com.au so we definitely had value for money walking around and learning about life back in the day. Worth a look!
Loxton Historical Village is definitely a museum with a difference. We loved the way they brought each building to life. Make sure you go to Church here, even if you don't usually! Friendly staff too.
The loxton historical village is well laid out, with a lot of history about the riverland. The 1956 flood was very interesting, old machinery, steam locomotive and tractors. A must for kids.
We found this fascinating and we learnt so much about the area. Will definitely explore again when we are in the area. But if you're into history allow at least two to three hours,
Really interesting, lots of information about different aspects of life but in an easy way for kids to read and understand. Allow 2 hours max if you have kids who will get bored if you go too slowly. We missed the "live day" by 1 week which was a shame.
Didn't know what to expect when visting the historical town of loxton - was very impressed and glad we went. had two teenagers In tow and found it very educational, interesting and well presented! would definitely recommend anyone that is interested in Australian history to visit!
This is the best I have been to seen lots of great ones but I give this one 10/10 interesting grandkids loved it ,lots to look at lots for the kids to interact with.
An excellent presentation of early pioneer life in the area. Fantastic visual history lesson for young & old
a bit outdated, but still some interesting things for the younger ones to see. easy access and walk through. lovely location.
