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 I LOVED my experience here! I only had the chance to attend for an hour and 15 due to other commitments but it was well worth it. The rides were engaging for both adults and children. I went on the Volaré, Wild Mouse, and the Devil's Drop slide. It has a good range of thrill rides, family rides and funhouse style games. There's also themed sections. In my visit there were the Stranger Things and Squid Game interactive exhibits. An extra fee applied to these, so with limited time I stuck to the main park. This isn't just a novelty in a pretty location. For thrill seekers and families alike, this is a fun half-day to full-day activity. As long as your expectations are in check (this isn't Universal Studios or Movie World) this is well worth your time. I took the train to Milsons Point, though it has a ferry dock directly out front. This could be a fun and visually impressive way to arrive in style.

4 Star Rating We recently visited the Stranger Things Experience at Luna Park and had a great time. The park is easy to reach—just a 10‑minute walk from Milsons Point train station—and you can also take a ferry that drops you right at the entrance. Parking in the area is limited, so public transport is definitely the better option. Luna Park offers plenty to enjoy, from classic rides to carnival‑style games. The toilets are conveniently located a few metres to the right of the entrance. Alongside Stranger Things, there are other immersive experiences inspired by popular Netflix series like Squid Game. Food prices aren’t cheap, but they’re reasonable for a theme‑park setting. Overall, it’s a fun spot to spend time with family. Because the park sits right on the harbour, you can capture fantastic views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House from angles you won’t get at Circular Quay. The atmosphere is lively and enjoyable, and if you’re in the Sydney area, it’s definitely worth a visit.

5 Star Rating Huge Stranger things fan here, so I was so excited to go to the Stranger Things Experience. The whole family loved it, the actors and storyline were great and the visual effects and 3D were done really well. I loved that the main characters in the show were included too. We had some food at the end and it was really fresh and tasty and not too expensive either. I would have liked there to be a bit more merch, I was looking for some of the items from the Netflix shop to be there to save paying huge postage from the states but looks like I will have to order online. Overall super happy to have been able to go to the experience before it finishes up soon.

4 Star Rating Mainly closed in the weekdays when its not school holidays but still a few sideshow stalls and small kids rides open, a couple of food stalls too. You can still walk around good chunk of it and its worth seeing for all the art and facades. Its a historic park too with a lot of history including the tragic fire on the ghost train incident. Its truely an icon of sydney and I hope it always remains where it is. Also great for pictures of the bridge and Sydney opera house.

4 Star Rating Very fun day out with lots to see and do! We ran out of time to see everything, you really need a whole day there to enjoy all the rides. I would have given 5 stars if there was more rides available for the 'red ticket' holders (generally 3-4 year olds) and if the park had some sort of lockers available to store your things in. Don't buy any food here if you can avoid it....it's pretty expensive and make sure you catch the ferry over. It's much quicker than trekking back up the hill to the train station.
