A day in historic Swan Hill

Pioneer Settlement invites visitors to explore heritage streets, shops and attractions at their own pace. Open daily from 9.30am to 4.30pm, it is a strong option for a relaxed half-day in Swan Hill.

Add the river or an evening show

For a different view, cruise the Little Murray aboard the PS Pyap. Evening visits can centre on the settlement's light, sound and storytelling shows, so check the current program when planning your visit.

Plan your visit on the Pioneer Settlement website (opens in a new tab).
