Ryoha~~ Today, while I was choosing places to visit during my trip to Sydney, I came across a tourist attraction that I was considering heading to North Sydney along with the Harbour Bridge. This attraction is Luna Park Sydney, one of Sydney’s photo spots, a vibrantly lit attraction at night and a vibrant array of rides in the morning, creating an exciting atmosphere for everyone.
Luna Park Sydney’s main entrance features a mascot with distinctive features and heavy makeup, making it a popular photo spot for many travelers. Operating hours are generally from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and until around 8:00 PM on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It was quite crowded on the day we visited.
While the variety of rides attracts mostly young children, there are also attractions like the Gyro Drop and the Ferris Wheel that allow visitors to explore the surrounding area, making it a Sydney attraction worth considering at least once.
We started our visit to Luna Park from our hotel, View Sydney, and walked along Lavender Street, taking in the ocean and harbor views. Those in the south could also take a ferry via Circular Quay or walk across the Harbour Bridge.
For travelers starting from the north, like us, we recommend the Clarke Park – Wendy Whiteley’s Secret Garden – Lavender Street – Luna Park route, as it offers even more stunning views.
While walking along the waterfront, we saw a variety of people: people running topless, people jogging lightly, people swimming in the clear, blue waters, and people enjoying the moment with fish.
This natural, picturesque view of the Harbour Bridge, Luna Park, and even the ships in the distance makes for a truly fulfilling start to a long or short Sydney trip.
The resting chairs and water fountains placed along the route to Luna Park felt like a great way for runners to relax. The road conditions and clear skies seemed to celebrate my visit to Sydney.
Luna Park’s back entrance, along the North Sydney waterfront, was mostly filled with attractions for children, such as the Mini Gyro Drop and roller coaster.
After a day of fun, we headed to the other side of the park to find delicious Luna Park food. And since we could wander around without having to reserve a ticket, it felt like a relaxing Sydney attraction.
The dining area had tables and a wooden horse-like interior, reminiscent of a large amusement park. It felt like everyone was eating at an amusement park.
The first thing that surprised me about visiting Sydney was the prices. Lipton, a drink that would cost 2,000-3,000 won in Korea, was priced at around 10,000 won. Even considering the nature of the amusement park, it felt quite expensive. I thought it would be wise to take advantage of the water fountains scattered throughout the park.
As I explored Luna Park Sydney a bit more, I noticed characters from the drama Squid Game, one of the dramas that sparked the Korean Wave, proudly appearing in Luna Park.
I felt they matched the Luna Park mascot at the main entrance quite well. It was also fascinating to see how the Korean amusement “The Rose of Sharon Has Blossomed” spread around the world through the drama.
While there weren’t many attractions along Luna Park Sydney, some of the more appealing ones included the Gyro Drop, which offers panoramic views of Sydney from above, the Ferris wheel, and the mini-games offered at the stalls.
While visiting Luna Park, I initially thought it would be a shame to visit just for the amusement park. However, following the route described above, I realized it was worth the time, as it included Sydney’s perfect picnic spots and the azure ocean. It also satisfied my curiosity, making me feel like I had started a wonderful trip.
One of the must-see photo spots during my visit to Luna Park is the ferry dock near the main entrance, where you can capture both the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House simultaneously.
This spot offers even more beautiful photos than the one shown above, thanks to the frequent ferry crossings. It also allows you to capture two iconic Sydney attractions simultaneously, making it a must-see attraction during your visit to Luna Park.
Luna Park, a must-see in North Sydney during your Sydney trip, is a photo spot where you can freely wander around and take many beautiful photos without having to ride any of the rides. If you’re crossing the Harbour Bridge or heading north, why not make some special memories by stopping by Luna Park Sydney, where you can take plenty of beautiful photos?
