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 We visited Luna Park with our six-year-old, who is 110 cm tall, and we were able to ride every attraction available for that height — which turned out to be a lot more than we expected. The surprise favorite of the day was the Boomerang, a high-speed roller coaster that brought genuine excitement (and a few screams of joy). We also explored the heritage zone, with its old-school rotating barrels, shifting bridges, and funhouse-style challenges. It was quirky and amusing, but noticeably underused — very few visitors ventured there, which made it feel a bit forgotten. There’s definitely room for improvement: the charm is there, but the area could use some revitalisation with added interactivity, maybe competitive games or live elements, to bring the space to life. Another missed opportunity was the giant slide zone — a series of long slides where you ride down in sack-like mats. Out of five or six slides, only one was open, which was disappointing for such a unique and fun attraction. We came with modest expectations, planning to spend just a few hours — and honestly, Luna Park is perfect for a half-day visit. We arrived after 2 PM, stayed for around four hours, and had plenty of time to explore without rushing. There were no lines, no crowds, and it was a huge relief compared to the chaos of larger amusement parks. Despite its size, the park offers both gentle rides for younger children and thrilling experiences even for smaller guests. We had a great time as a family and appreciated the mix of nostalgia, fun, and no-pressure pacing.

5 Star Rating Have been to Sydney many times and finally came to visit the iconic Luna Park. My 13 year old son got great value from his pass. We came on a Friday morning and returned that night. Wasn't very busy (NSW term time still) so short waits for the rides. Dodgems and Boomerang were his favourites. Plenty of places to sit and relax with great views of the harbour and city. Food was the usual theme park offerings but not outrageously priced. Very cool place.

3 Star Rating Luna Park Sydney offers convenient parking, though it comes at a premium cost. To maximize the value of the daily ride passes, which are the only tickets available, it's advisable to arrive early. While the park is clean and well-maintained, some areas, including worn decals, suggest it could benefit from a refresh. The ticket price of $80 per person feels quite high, and food options are notably expensive. Despite these factors, the park provides an enjoyable experience for families, albeit with a sense of catering more to tourists.
