Luna Park Sydney Tickets: Entry, Rides and Ferry
Luna Park Sydney tickets are only needed for rides, because walking into the park costs nothing. The park's own site says an Unlimited Rides Pass starts from A$34, and a two-ride pass costs A$25. The steps below cover who needs a pass, how to pay less, how long to stay and how to arrive by ferry or train.
Luna Park Sydney sits on the harbour at Milsons Point, and this guide takes you through six steps. You learn what is free, which pass to buy, how to pay less, how long to plan, how to arrive and what to add nearby. You do not need a tour to visit, because the park sells its own passes.
| Step | What to do | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Learn what the entry rule means | Walking in is free, but rides need a pass |
| 2 | Pick a pass | Unlimited, two-ride or annual |
| 3 | Pay less | Book early and online, and choose the date with care |
| 4 | Plan your time | Check the calendar, the height zones and food rules |
| 5 | Get there | Ferry or train to Milsons Point |
| 6 | Add the harbour | Cruise or night bus around the park |
Step 1: Learn what free entry means
Entry to Luna Park Sydney is free, but you need a pass for every ride. The park's FAQ says it is a free entry park for now. It also says everyone who wants to ride must hold an Unlimited Rides Pass for that date. That includes an adult who rides with a child in the red or green height zone.
Stroll the grounds, look at the Harbour Bridge and watch the rides without a ticket. Children under 85 cm do not need a ticket, but they can only use the carousel and the Ferris wheel with a paying adult. For other big sights on the same trip, a sydney attractions pass can bundle several of them.
Key Takeaway Walking into Luna Park costs A$0, and the Unlimited Rides Pass from A$34 is the ticket that matters.
Step 2: Pick the pass that matches your day
An Unlimited Rides Pass is the right pass for most visitors, and the park lists it from A$34 per person. The park's ticket page shows these passes on 25 October 2026. Prices are "from" prices, and the final price depends on the date.
| Pass | Price from | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited Rides Pass | A$34 per person | All-day rides for your height zone on the date you pick |
| Two Ride Pass | A$25 per person | Two rides of your choice on Luna Lite days |
| Annual Rides Pass | A$149 | Unlimited rides on every open day for a year |
| Dream Circus | A$10 per person | A digital show with projections, not a ride |
The Unlimited Rides Pass includes Coney Island, the funhouse, when height and safety rules allow. You pick one date when you book. This avoids crowding, the park says. At the gate you swap your ticket for a wristband that is valid for that day only. Everyone in your group must be at the ticket box for the wristband.
No price is listed for a single ride. Rides are covered by a pass, not sold one by one.
Pro Tip Book the whole group in one purchase, so everyone gets the same date and time slot.
Step 3: Pay less for Luna Park Sydney tickets
The cheapest Luna Park Sydney tickets are the ones you book online and early. Pass prices move with sales and activity in the park, and buying on the day costs more. Booking early is the main saving, and the park's own page says so in plain words.
Other ways to spend less come from the park's own rules.
- Pick a Luna Lite day. The Two Ride Pass is listed for Luna Lite days, and a short day suits a quick visit.
- Skip the ride pass if you only want the view. Entry is free, so you can walk around and pay nothing.
- Buy the Annual Rides Pass if you live in Sydney. At A$149 it pays off after a few visits. Annual passes can be used on Luna Lite days, but not on some special events.
- Prebook parking if you drive. Prebooking brings the day rate to A$39, against A$49 for three hours or more at the gate.
- Bring your own food. Outside food is allowed, but you can only eat it in the picnic area called Lavender Green.
Do not count on a refund if your plans change. You can move your date once if it is at least 15 days away. After that, tickets are not exchanged or refunded unless the park cancels or the law says so. Bad weather does not change this when the park stays open.
Step 4: Plan your time, the height zones and the food
Plan for about three hours if you want the big rides and a walk by the water, and longer on a busy weekend. The park does not publish a suggested visit time, so this is our reading of its ride list. Three hours is enough for the main thrill rides on a quiet weekday. It is tight on a weekend or in school holidays.
Check the opening calendar before you pick a date. The park's opening hours page shows a Luna Lite Day on Monday 26 October 2026 from 10 am to 2 pm. Hours change on public holidays and at special events, and some rides run on and off.
Your height decides which rides you can join, and a staff member measures you before the wristband is issued.
| Zone | Height | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Red | 85 to 106 cm | An adult must ride with the child |
| Green | 106 to 132 cm | Many rides need an adult, and some allow riding alone |
| Yellow | 132 cm and over | Can ride alone, including the Big Dipper and the Sledgehammer |
On the day we checked, the Hair Raiser and the Ferris wheel were listed as closed for maintenance. If a ride matters to you, check the rides page on the day.
Food is mostly cashless, and the FAQ says to use a card or phone. No menu or prices are published a menu or food prices that we could confirm, so we give none. You may bring your own food. Cooking is not allowed.
One honest limit applies. If the Big Dipper is the only ride you want, a full pass is a lot to pay, and you need to be 132 cm or taller. A harbour cruise may suit you better.
The best view of Luna Park is from the water, and the best view from Luna Park is of the Bridge.
Step 5: Get to Luna Park by train, ferry, bus or car
The easiest way to reach Luna Park is by train or ferry to Milsons Point, and the park is a short walk from both. The park's visit page lists the options.
- Ferry: Milsons Point Wharf is directly in front of the Luna Park face. The wharf is wheelchair accessible. The page does not say which routes call there, so check the Transport for NSW trip planner for your day.
- Train: Milsons Point Station is about a 5-minute walk downhill to the water. This is the first stop after Wynyard on the way north over the Harbour Bridge, on the T1 North Shore and Western Line and the T9 Northern Line.
- Bus: Buses stop at Milsons Point or near North Sydney Station, and the walk from Milsons Point is about 5 minutes.
- Car: The car park has over 380 spaces and a lift to the park. Rates are A$8 for up to 1 hour, A$15 for 1 to 2 hours, A$30 for 2 to 3 hours and A$49 for 3 hours or more. Booking online brings the day rate to A$39.
No direct Manly ferry is listed on that page. Put Manly and Milsons Point into the trip planner. It will show the best route and the changes, which are likely at Circular Quay.
Pay for trains and ferries with an Opal card or a contactless bank card. Transport for NSW lists adult ferry fares of A$7.35 for trips up to 9 km and A$9.20 for longer ones. Daily caps apply, A$19.30 from Monday to Thursday and A$9.65 on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and public holidays. Our getting around Sydney guide explains how the caps work.
Tap off at the end of every trip. If you forget, you pay the default maximum fare.
Step 6: Add the harbour around Luna Park
A sunset cruise or a night bus tour is the easy way to see Luna Park from the water or from the Bridge. Neither includes a park pass, so they only add views. If you plan more cruise time, our harbour cruises guide compares the main options. For land sights on the same side of the water, see our guide to Darling Harbour attractions.
For the golden hour, the Golden Glow sunset harbour cruise starts from €53.33 and is rated 4.7 from 131 reviews. Sea Sydney Harbour runs it, and it leaves from Aquarium Wharf in Darling Harbour. The cruise lasts 1.5 hours, takes up to 45 people and includes a drink and a grazing platter. The listing says you see Luna Park, the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and Barangaroo. You can cancel free up to 24 hours before.
For a dry evening on land, the Big Bus panoramic night tour starts from €43.29 and is rated 4.5 from 86 reviews. Big Bus Sydney runs it, and it lasts 1.5 hours. It crosses the Harbour Bridge and stops for photos at Milsons Point. It departs from Phillip Street at Circular Quay, and you should arrive 15 minutes early. It is a non-stop tour, not a hop-on, hop-off. Free cancellation applies.
For a cheaper boat pass, the hop-on hop-off harbour cruise starts from €26.35 and is rated 4.3 from 309 reviews. Captain Cook Cruises runs it, with five stops from Wharf 6. The listing does not name a Luna Park stop, so use it for harbour views, not to reach the park. Free cancellation applies.

| Two Ride Pass | A short visit | Listed for Luna Lite days |
| Sunset cruise | Seeing the park from the water | No park pass included |

Doing it yourself costs less. Buy the pass from the park and use your Opal card for the ferry or train. A tour only adds the harbour views.

Conclusion
Luna Park Sydney is free to enter, so you only pay for the rides you want. Book an Unlimited Rides Pass online and early for the lowest price, or pick the two-ride pass for a short visit. Allow a few hours, check the opening calendar for your date, and arrive by train or ferry to Milsons Point. If you want more of the harbour the same day, a sunset cruise or a night bus tour fits well.
