Luna Park Melbourne

Unclaimed

It was a really good day out for the whole family. While your here you must take a ride on the historic carousel and famous roller coaster. If it's gut churning rides your after, there's a few of those here also. There are a couple of food shops if you don't want to bring your own and save a little bit of money. Be ready to stand in line for long periods of time at each of the rides.

I haven't been to Luna Park for a few years, so I thought it was time to return. I was very pleasantly surprised and we had a great day out . The booking process was quick and easy online (you can buy tickets at the gate, but the park can reach capacity, especially on a nice day or weekend, so it isn't worth the risk). The park was clean, everything was well organised and run efficiently. Line wait times were reasonable for a Sunday on the school holidays (just the scenic railway wait time was a bit longer). All of the staff we encountered were friendly and professional. I resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to end up eating fried food for lunch, but the cafe offered a varied menu. The kids wanted chips, nuggets and pizza, but I ended up with a beautiful, fresh and tasty chicken and avocado focaccia. (note- i did read that the Cafe had varied opening hours, so perhaps it is only open on busier days). The staff took safety seriously and always checked the height of riders if they looked like they were close to the restriction, double checked rides and gates were locked before rides started. As soon as it started to rain and the wind picked up, they temporarily shut some rides for safety reasons and ensured umbrellas and loose object were secured. I think if your kids are into rides, the cost of a unlimited ticket is very reasonable. My only complaint is that the toilets were a but run down and some soap dispensers were missing, but they were clean. Overall we had a fantastic family day out and would highly recommend a trip to Luna Park Melbourne.
