Luna Park Sydney
Kids of all ages will love spending a day at Luna Park
Luna Park is an amusement Park, situated at Milsons Point, on the North Shore of the beautiful Sydney Harbour. It is readily accessible by a quick and scenic 5-minute ride on Sydney Ferries, or if preferred, by city bus or train.
This park is one of Australia's most familiar amusement parks. Since February 19th, 2010 it is listed on the State Heritage register. This assures the park is protected and can be appreciated for many years to come.
This fun and exciting amusement park first opened October 4th, 1935 and has been closed and restored a few times over the years. After all the years and changes the well-known entrance still shows off its popular smiling face and towers even though there have been several changes to them over the years — eight different faces in all, with the last one made in 1994 which was based on the 1950s version of Old King Cole and made out of polyurethane.
There is no cost to enter the park, which is great for parents that prefer to pay for their kids to go on the rides while they watch and enjoy the ambience of the park. Usually, the park is not too busy and queues for the rides are reasonable, allowing you to get plenty of rides in during your visit.
If you really want to save money while enjoying the excitement of the lively amusement park, you can pack your own picnic. There are plenty of picnic areas in and around Luna Park such as Lavender Green located at the back of the park, Watt Park with its exotic trees, picnic tables and heritage theme playground or underneath Harbour Bridge you will find Bradfield Park, but there are even more to choose from. It might be best to ask the staff which would be the best spot to picnic in on the day you arrive as sometimes the beautiful areas are reserved for special events.
If picnicking is not your thing, no worries. There are many outlets and restaurants for every mood and taste. Whether you are looking for a romantic meal or a group lunch, the Deck is perfect. It has a wide variety of both food and cocktails on the menu. Sit back, relax and soak up the spectacular panoramic views that spread out over Sydney harbour extending to the Harbour Bridge, Botanical Gardens, Sydney Opera House and Circular Quay.
Fish 'n' Sips is a great place to enjoy fresh beer batter dipped fish and chips, pizzas, sandwiches, salads and more while relaxing and sipping on a glass of wine or a cold beer with your sit down meal.
If you don't want to stop to eat and are still hungry, you are in luck as there are more than enough venues for you to sit down at or to grab a quick bite and go. Satisfy your hunger pains with old time carnival treats, such as sweet rolls, fairy floss (cotton candy), ice cream and more. Stop by the Coney Island Cafe for a quick snack like a Turkish roll, croissant, danish or a variety of muffins or at the Lighthouse Cafe, where you can pick up hot dogs, hamburgers, corn dogs, and meat pies.
Luna amusement park and Coney Island Funhouse have a wide selection of amusement rides: wild and crazy rides such as the The Wild Mouse Roller Coaster or the Hair Raiser for those seeking thrills, rides that toss, turn and bump you all about and mild or romantic rides with gorgeous views like the Ferris wheel or the Carousel with 1,640 twinkling lights. There is also a Mirror Maze, fast, slippery slides and many rides for the children to enjoy and get excited about. Keep in mind that there is a height restriction.
What is an amusement park without sideshow games? Luna park delivers in this area as well. There are lively and entertaining games where you can show off you skills and impress that special someone or keep the prizes you win all to yourself.

Luna Park Sydney Reviews
Rated
out of 5 It is the Icon of Sydney entertaiment park.
Spend whole day here to experience the games and activities.
My children love to go here. My parent and older people also love to come to the Luna Park.
It is not required to buy a ticket for entry. You only buy the ticket if you want to participate in the activities.
Enjoy your time with the show during the day.
It is more than word to express the beauty of the Sydney Opera House overview from Luna park side.

What an amazing day! We’ve been watching Luna Park videos for the last two months to hype us up for our visit and it did not disappoint. Green pass and definitely was a lot of rides to enjoy and 6 year old enjoyed it way too much!
Perks were the games were easy to win, little man overcame his height fear on the Ferris wheel, the funhouse is still a classic must do and the food was pretty good and got to enjoy a nice public holiday ferry ride there and back. Definitely much quieter than I’d expect for a public holiday.

We visited here recently as I was really keen to ride their rollercoaster. Unfortunately we found out that they do not sell single ride tickets for a majority of the rides. Almost all are included in a ‘day pass’ for $75, which was surprising because the Luna Park in Melbourne does sell single ride tickets.
The park itself is free to walk around so that was nice to know. Also the staff were really friendly and even explained how you can get the day tickets cheaper if you plan ahead and buy online.
All up it was a nice way to spend the afternoon and the views are spectacular but we left disappointed, having not wanted to spend so much money for just one or two rides.

Luna Park is a classic amusement park offering fun and nostalgia with its iconic entrance and vintage rides. Located near Sydney Harbour, the views are as memorable as the attractions. The park features a mix of old-school charm and modern thrills, making it perfect for families and friends. While the rides are enjoyable, lines can be long, especially on weekends. Admission is free, but ride passes can be pricey. Overall, Luna Park is a must-visit for a fun day out with a touch of history and fantastic views.

It's been 20 years since I last visited Luna Park and it's still FUN and would recommend arriving as early as possible to enjoy the full experience and value for money on all the rides especially the sledge hammer it's a must jump on to feel the adrenaline pumping or there's so much more you can enjoy for kids too if not into extreme rides like the Ferris wheel, little dipper and dodgem cars.
What can I say!? It's a GREAT day out!!!
Plenty of side games on the way through to play for awesome prizes.
