Lonely Planet review

There's still a hint of the sideshow, carny atmosphere at this historic amusement park. Luna Park opened in 1912, sporting the impressive façade of Mr Moon flanked by oriental-style towers. Mr Moon's gaping mouth is still the park entrance - and it's arguably creepier than the ghost-train's quaint cobwebs and glow-in-the-dark skeletons.

Other sentimental favourites include the heritage-listed Scenic Railway (the oldest continually operating roller coaster in the world) and a beautifully crafted carousel (with 70 hand-painted horses and chariots). Complemented by a few newer rides, Luna Park will still thrill the kids.
