Another one of them places we have driven past for years, and decided we might have a look, We were not left disappointed, place is busting at the seams with old time memorabilia, if you like spending hours walking through places looking at they history of the area, old cars, trucks, etc, this place is a must. Churches, barns, houses, dentist, doctors, bakery, mechanics, fire station, police station, cemetery, Trains are just a few out of 100+ shops/houses etc from yesteryear Well worth the stop, alow 2-4 hours,

Take the time to stop and call in, there's such an amazing collection of Australian history there. We spent 5 hours strolling around, don't forget to bring your lunch! I loved the old dance hall and the hotel, the buildings are original and have been moved to the village for your enjoyment. The railway signals and fire engine collection are incredible, not to mention the wooden speedboat collection, the facinating engines, an old Glenelg tram and the iconic Balfours pie cart!!

Such a good collection of antiques slowly going to ruin :( . It's a good place but has so much more potential to be something terrific it would be great to see someone or something step in and fund it's revival . Could easily be as good as a sovereign hill the basics are all there .

A great day out at Old Tailem Town today. So much history & can't begin to imagine how many years it has taken the owners to build/create and collect so many pieces from the past for everyone to enjoy. Worth the trip to see and support this great SA business. Added just a few photos to help people see how amazing this place is !!!

This is an amazing place to to take a step back in time. So much history and much to meander around and see. Well worth the entrance fee and a real credit to the old timer caretakers.

Great place to walk and around and check out history and how life once was. Great selection of old buildings, vehicles, machinery and much much more. Well over 100 buildings with a lot accessible. Easily spent 3 hours soaking it all in, owner is lovely and loves a good chat.
