The Amazing Mill Markets - Ballarat

I’ve driven past this place heaps of times, and I never knew what a find it was until I finally went inside! WOW. This is a true antique mall. Each stall has different things for sale, all in good condition and for a reasonable price. There’s no low-quality stuff at all, like you find with some antique places. A must visit in Ballarat if you like antiques!

This mirrors the one at Daylsford. It's great for everyone. Nostalgic to say the least. You could aspen half a day here easily. Staff are very helpful.

Perfect place for all things quirky. Highly recommend for anyone to pop in and have a look. I'm sure there will be something for everyone.

A close Second to the Geelong Store, it has Great Items and a very nice Lay out. Highly Recommended

Awesome place to shop at. Alot of good collectables. Alot of stalls. Reasonable price. Alot of parking space. Next to mini golf course. Great for kids. Awesome Cafe inside. Customer service is excellent.

Awesome if you like antiques! Pretty big shop, has a cafe and toilets! Staff are wonderful, but it will take you approximately 1 hour to see it all in the shop as the shops big! Would recommend for the tourist stopping by Ballarat!

Wonderful antiques and more including furniture, memorabilia, clothing, crockery and jewellery.

Excellent day spent exploring the vast array of vintage, retro and antique goods for sale. And found a few treasures that l couldn't live without. Brilliant place to visit.

First time I have been there, certainly will be going back. There were so many 'stalls' to look at. The range of items for sale was just amazing. My daughter and I wandered around for probably 2 hours at least, finding treasures everywhere we turned.

There are lots of old, new, & interesting collectables here. A very big store, with many stalls. I have gone a few times, and sometimes it is very busy, while the last time I went, there were only a few other customers there. Worth a look on a rainy day, but most items are marked up a fair bit, being a touristy place.

Stoke was diminished compared to previous visits, this was probably due to covid. The cafe was not operating however coffee van out front. Staff were very helpful and apologise for the cafe being closed.

Really cool place to stop and shop on your Ballarat journey. Pricey but you’ll deffo pick something up for gifts / etc. Avoid the cafe.

To be honest, the only thing I found interesting was the old ex-CFA Austin fire truck out the front, made in England it says on the plate in the engine bay. If you look closely at the door, you can see where the old CFA decal was. However, it's always interesting to walk around these places. I'm sure the shelves are changed continuously as goods are sold and replaced. It's one of those places you have to revisit now and then, to check if there's anything that will interest you.

WHERE: en Route to Ballarat Township
WHAT: Antiques, Local Produce, Cafe, Photo Ops

Great pit stop on a road trip or even as a destination if you mix in the neighbouring Gold Rush Mini Golf.

Markets have a great range of goods, new, vintage, food clothing, furniture you name it they have a stall for it.

Decent size to get lost in and includes toilets and a small cafe.

There is ramp access and aisles are big enough for a wheel chair or pram but if you have a little one that like to grab things you will have your hands full:)

Such a large range of products! Very interesting, always a great place to find something diffrent that you can't get from most shops.
Prices are excellent too.
They have a cafe that does burgers and a breakfast menu in addition to coffee and cakes. Coffee was sensational.
5 stars for sure!

We have visited the mill markets many times and there are so many interesting items to look at. We have come across items from our childhood that brought back many wonderful memories. The items are well priced and the staff are all friendly.

The four stars go to the CAFE. They'd get 5 but the review overall is for the MILL which is full of overpriced items. Close to Ballarat is Maryborough, with a small setup full of items near half the price. Anyway the cafe.outstanding friendly service. Good coffee made with a smile. As per previous reviews, you certainly do notice the several volunteers wandering about but they didn't bother us. Remembering this plave is smaller than other MILL markets so maybe it's just easier to spot them a'wandering!

I come here often hoping to find a good bargain. This market closely resembles a large antique shop. Lots of items, although mostly junk items. Decent prices. Although it does have that old musty smell. Worth the visit

Nice place to visit, mainly sell for indoor products. The other two mill markets (Geelong and Daylesford) has wide range of product competed to this

I like this place, however it's a bit more expensive than hunted antiques which is close to my house. I think they don't have anything under $5 which is a bit rough, I think it's a rule of the venue, which means you can't pick up small little cheap pieces.
I do enjoy going here when I visit though.
