About this tour
Enter through Mr Moon's gaping mouth into St Kilda's vintage amusement ground, where you'll chase unlimited rides across a century-old park. Luna Park has been Melbourne's seaside thrill machine since 1912, modelled on New York's Coney Island charm. The centrepiece is the Great Scenic Railway—a wooden coaster that's been rattling around the park's perimeter since 1912 and remains the world's oldest continuously operating wooden roller coaster, complete with a live brakeman riding shotgun. Spin the vintage carousels, scale the modern rides, or loop back on classics as many times you want within your visit window.

What to expect
You'll walk straight in and can spend anywhere from an hour to a full afternoon hitting rides in any order. The Great Scenic Railway offers genuine thrills—it climbs, dips, and swerves around the park's outer edge with wind in your face and that distinctive wooden clatter underneath. Alongside it sit modern rides offering sharper angles and G-forces, plus restored classics that appeal to nostalgic rides and younger kids alike. Weather and mechanical maintenance may close individual rides on the day, so check the website before you go. The park sits right by the beach, so crowds and energy shift with the season and time of day.
