Luna Park, Melbourne

Opened in 1912, Luna Park is the most identifiable landmark of St. Kilda with generations of children walking wide eyed through the broad clown's mouth entrance. Although threatened by developers on numerous occasions, it has miraculously remained intact. The charm of Luna Park is its old world character. No comparison can be made to the special effects laden amusement parks around the world. Luna Park relies on spectacular views from the Scenic Railway, the glamour of its historic carousel, and the fact that children still love eating fairy floss! Hours vary seasonally, do check website for further details.
