Family fun: Luna Park

Set on Sydney's north side of the iconic Harbour Bridge, get set for a day of thrill rides, old fashioned amusements, fairy floss, hot dogs and million-dollar views at Luna Park.

The amusement park exudes a charm that lies in its 1930s seaside-style fun, featuring a host of rides and parlour games, ranging from high-octane to more gentle offerings for the littlest of kids – the Ferris wheel, mirror mazes and teacups co-exist with rollercoasters.

Not into the rides? The location, history and dining options still make this famous landmark a must-visit.

In 2010 the Luna Park Face was listed as an item of national heritage by the National Trust of Australia, making it one of two amusement parks in the world that are protected by government legislation

Grab a table at one of the many eateries, while taking in spectacular views of Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, Botanical Gardens and the CBD.
