The area
Address
Neighbourhood: St. Kilda
St. Kilda is an iconic beachside suburb and one of the most culturally and economically diverse of Melbourne’s neighbourhoods. It is a traditional haven for musicians, artists and writers, drawn to the European ambience and fresh ocean breezes. At night, it can have an edgier side, but by day, it features a relaxed vibe – the market stalls, boutiques and outdoor bars display St. Kilda’s easygoing attitude. Ocean winds blow from Port Phillip Bay and waves lap onto its long and mostly deserted beaches. Rides whir at the world’s oldest operational Luna Park. On a lazy weekend morning, bikers cruise along Acland Street, showing off their motorcycles. But the late morning crowds are too busy at brunch to notice. St. Kilda is a perfect place to relax after a night out with friends.

Geez. Been here heaps of times over the years but this is now just silly. One ride is $10.50 or unlimited rides is $50.00 or more. On the maths surface this makes sense but, little kids, supervising adults are not catered for. It’s all or nothing. Why not just change everyone a flat fee with unlimited options. They are not separate carnies like an agricultural Show, that are big in Oz. It’s a ready made enclosed market. Once inside the food etc is also massively overpriced. Even the family ticket at $188.00 or whatever to get in is an insult. That’s why nobody goes! Yesterday Jan 7th 2020 it was dead. Mc Fly! Wake up guys, St Kilda rocks you not so much.

Had a great day here today with 2 10 year old girls and they didn't want to leave. The rides were great for them as we paid the slightly less price for them being under 12 but they were both tall enough to go on every ride. They probably went on about 30 odd rides and we paid $37.50 per unlimited ride ticket thanks to RACV. Worked out great. We even left at lunch time, bought lunch outside and visited the beach for 30 minutes or so then headed back in. I just paid $5 entry as I didn't want to go on any rides. You can buy single ride tickets if need be but if the kids are more than happy to go on everything themselves, save yourself some money and just watch. Plenty of places to sit and eat carnival type food. Toilets were clean and the staff were so amazing. We have been to Disney twice and they were on par with them for being happy and making the kids day. Well done!

Luna Park is a great stop as they still sell individual ride tickets, though you can get a pass to ride all day. The small admission ($5) is waived/included if you purchase rides. The old wooden coaster is not scary and a good bit of fun. I recently took my friend who had never been on a roller coaster. Staff as friendly. Big arcade, gift shop, limited food choices.

Go mid week when the crowds are smaller and the ques shorter. We went mid week with a 5 YO and he had a ball.Entry was cheap and all day ride passes very reasonable. Food and drink a little expensive. Water mist stations were set up to help patrons cool down.

Although at first glance the park is quite expensive it is definitely worth the money. I recommend setting aside a whole day if you are planning on going as it is jam packed full of stuff to do. The size of the park is quite small so it doesn’t require to much walking. The staff are also nice and ready to help with any problems you might have.

Childhood would not be complete without a trip to Luna Park. It's been around for a long time, the roller coasster is an institution in itself. The weekends can be crowded, especially on fine days -- go on weekdays sif you can. Luna Park is not all that exxpensive. It does have the appearance of being a bit tatty, but it has been around for many years, pleasing a new crowd of childrren in every generation.

Luna Park has gained a new lease on life as a bohemian destination. The Great Scenic Railway is the world's oldest continually operating scenic railway. It dates from 1912. Luna Park's Scenic Railway is only one of eight scenic railways still operating in the world. The track measures around 1 km (3200 feet). There's another Scenic Railway almost as old at Dreamland at Margate, in England. Both Scenic Railways have brakemen to manually control the roller coaster, which adds to the excitement. While Luna Park's Scenic Railway isn't as speedy as modern roller coasters, it can still get up to 60 km/hr (40 m/hr), and it's exciting.

This is a dishonest business that just tries to get as much money for as little value as possible. There was barely any staff, very long waits, and most of the food and drink venues were closed for events. Many rides were shut and the park didn't even open until 11am. Since you can't pay for less than a full day that is deceptive and dishonest. Noone should ever go there ever again. If I could give zero stars I would.

Still under renovation so some rides/ areas are closed.....not sure it's value for money at the moment. Kids were gutted that the dodgem cars were closed.
Staff are very attentive and do safety checks very thoroughly which is reassuring given how old some of the rides are!
School holidays was BUSY! Long wait times for rides and many rides not open....
Have found it better previously. Disappointed this time.

There is something here for everyone, from the gentle Carousal ride to the thrilling Scenic Railway which boasts the title of being the oldest continually operating wooden roller coaster in the world and the only one of its kind with a standing brakeman in control aboard its moving carriages. The queues were about 30 minutes each ride. Food was fresh and tasty. Probably works out cheaper to get the unlimited ride ticket.

Luna Park Melbourne has rides for all ages, young children need supervision at all times.
Depending on the ride will depend on the height of the child which will determine which rides a child can take by themselves.
Luna Park is open Saturdays and Sundays in May 2018.
Family pass for unlimited rides is around $150.

Can a 6 years old (120cm) takes most rides by herself so that I do not need ticket for myself?
Written 27 August 2017
It depends on the ride, the website has a function which you can sort the rides based on the height (i.e. 120-130cm). Based that your daughter is 120cm- she can ride on 17/20 rides. There are rides like the roller coaster, and the other fast moving rides such as the Enterprise and Prahrahs Curse that you may want to join her if she isnt that daring or independent. Also depending on the other people present, and her ability prehaps joining her on the Dodgem Cars?
Written 28 August 2017
Nothing to enter but pay for the rides. Have fun!
