Luna Park

Luna Park

Located on St Kilda beach facing Port Phillip Bay, this is a historic amusement park that has been operating since 1912. Visitors go here to experience classic carnival rides and see the park's iconic entrance. It serves as a landmark of Melbourne's seaside entertainment history.

Getting There

The park is located in St Kilda, south of the city centre. You can reach it by taking a tram from the central business district. The journey typically takes between 20 and 30 minutes depending on traffic and the specific tram route used.

Duration of Visit

Allow approximately 3 to 5 hours to explore the grounds and use the available rides. This timeframe may vary depending on how many attractions you intend to experience.

When to Visit

The park is generally more crowded on weekends and during school holiday periods. Visiting on a weekday can reduce wait times for rides. Because it is located on the coast, weather conditions can change quickly, affecting the outdoor experience.
