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 4.1 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating Definitely our family’s favourite spots. We are annual pass members! It works out so much better to be an annual member. If you go twice that’s the membership paid! There is always great vibes Happy people Happy workers Great picnic area Great shade spots too. The indoor part is fantastic for when it gets hot outside we usually go indoors for about 2 hours in the middle of our day just to cool down or if it is raining. I can’t praise this place enough The staff are always so upbeat and fun The mechanics are always checking and safety is a number one here. Some times you do have to wait but it’s because safety comes first. And I don’t mind waiting to ensure me and my family are safe on rides. I always find it best to go first thing so you beat the crowds and get a loaf of rides in early. The parking is very affordable here too. It’s 49 for 3+ hours so I usually park the car and put all our bags and water and picnic In the car until we need it. The car is on site underground so it’s so convenient! Saves you walking to public transport.

4 Star Rating One of the most iconic carnivals in the world, without any doubt, all at the foot of the harbour bridge with a postcard view of the city's impressive skyline. The atmosphere in the park makes you forget about how central you are in the city and makes you focus on the music and diversity of rides, You'll be reminded of the location whenever you peak outside the gates (open to publix) or when you take a ride on the ferris wheel. You just can't get a better view of the harbour! Quite recently, two new overhead rollercoasters were opened and you may wonder how they managed to fit them in the compact location. There are enough rides for toddlers and the indoor area with the beanbag slides and other rides are excellently entertain young and old. During peak period, there are a few street entertainers in beautiful costumes, such an asset. The waiting times are most reasonable, even when it's quite busy, except for the tango train. It takes forever to get people on and off. Prices are quite ok, except for the toddler games, ten dollars to fetch a few little ducs is appaling.

4 Star Rating Had a great time with the family and made some fun new memories. The staff were under the pump due to being school holidays and tried their best, the rides, food service and events went shockingly slow because it seemed like there was only one staff member per ride, staff were doing their best with minimal resources it seemed. Not much shade or seating, but otherwise had a good day.
