| What Theme Parks Are In Melbourne |
The OG: Luna Park
First up, we have the granddaddy of them all, the iconic Luna Park. Established in 1912 (that's practically ancient in theme park years!), Luna Park is a St Kilda staple. Think whirling dervishes on the iconic Scenic Railway (the world's oldest operating wooden rollercoaster, no less!), heart-stopping drops on the Mr. Moon Drop, and enough fairy floss to choke a Willy Wonka. Just be sure to pack your sense of humor, because the park's delightfully kitschy charm might raise an eyebrow or two.
Pro tip: If you're feeling peckish, don't miss the Dagwood Dog - a foot-long monstrosity piled high with every topping imaginable. Because, Melbourne.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
Family Fun for Everyone: Funfields and Beyond
Looking for something a little less, well, let's say vintage? Funfields Park out in Melbourne's outer east might be your jam. This vibrant park caters to the whole family, with kid-friendly rides, dodgem cars (a theme park essential!), and a giant jumping pillow that will have you feeling like a kid again (or launching yourself into next week).
Funfields Fact: Did you know they have a reverse bungee jump? Because of course they do. It's Melbourne.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
But wait, there's more! Melbourne also boasts a surprising number of hidden gem water parks and adventure playgrounds. For a splash-tastic day, check out Riverwalk Water Park, or get your adrenaline fix at Enchanted Adventure Park with its tree surfing and tube slides.
