Luna Park Melbourne

Overlooking the famous Port Phillip Bay, this historic park has been a destination for Melbourne families for the past century. With over 100 years of fun-filled adventures, Luna Park continues to surge forward with a generous mix of heritage-listed attractions and brand new thrill rides to satisfy all thrill seekers.

Luna Park Melbourne

Step through Mr Moon’s giant grin and into a magical world where timeless charm meets year-round family fun. Nestled in beachside St Kilda, Luna Park is a vibrant mix of heritage-listed charm and contemporary excitement, and whether you're five or fifty-five, there’s something here to get your heart racing!

The most famous of the Park’s attractions is its heritage-listed Scenic Railway Roller Coaster, a large wooden coaster that propels its passengers, at high speed, around the outside of the entire Park. This renowned roller coaster will not only provide you with heart-stopping dips and turns but also the most stunning views of Port Phillip Bay that St. Kilda has to offer.

Luna Park offers a range of attractions for all ages, from mini roller coasters such as Speedy Beetle to nail-biting thrill rides such as Supernova, the Pharaoh’s Curse and Power Surge. A day at Luna Park cannot be missed when visiting Melbourne, no matter your age.

It’s not just about the rides! Luna Park’s Games Huts serve up a dose of nostalgia with good old-fashioned carnival games like Laughing Clowns, Knockems, and Big Bang balloon darts.

If you're looking for a fun-filled school holiday outing, Luna Park Melbourne is open every day throughout the Spring school holidays, with rides, games and plenty of family fun from 19 September to 4 October 2026.
