Everything you need to plan a safe, stress-free Luna Park visit with your little ones.
Visiting an amusement park with children can be magical — but it helps to arrive prepared. This guide covers height restrictions, safety tips, family tickets, stroller access and the best kid-friendly rides at Luna Park Sydney, Luna Park Melbourne and Luna Park Coney Island.
Height Restrictions
Every Luna Park has rides for all ages, but thrill attractions enforce strict height requirements for safety. Here's a quick reference:
- Under 90 cm (35 in): Free entry at most parks. Enjoy carousels, train rides and playground areas with adult supervision.
- 90–120 cm (35–47 in): Ferris wheels, dodgems, junior coasters and many carnival games.
- 120–140 cm (47–55 in): Most family rides and mid-thrill attractions.
- Over 140 cm (55 in): Full access to all rides including the Cyclone, Scenic Railway and Wild Mouse.
Family Tickets & Savings
Family passes are the best value when visiting with children. A typical 2-adults + 2-kids unlimited ride bundle saves around $25 AUD / $20 USD compared to individual tickets. Children under 3–4 years usually enter free and do not require a ride pass if they are not going on attractions.

- Book online in advance for an extra 10–20% discount versus gate pricing.
- Twilight passes (after 5PM) are cheaper and great for families with younger children.
Stroller & Accessibility
All three Luna Parks are stroller-friendly with wide pathways, ramps and designated stroller-parking zones near major ride areas. Accessible restrooms and baby change facilities are available throughout each park. Wheelchair and mobility-scooter hire may be available at the gate — contact the park in advance to reserve.
Safety Tips for Parents
- Arrive early — beat the crowds and ride the most popular attractions before lines build up.
- Designate a meeting point — in case anyone gets separated, pick a landmark everyone knows.
- Sun protection — queues are often outdoors; bring hats, sunscreen and water bottles.
- Know the exits — familiarise yourself with first-aid station and exit locations on entry.
- Check ride restraints — ensure children are securely buckled and meet height requirements.
