1. The dazzling Lite-Brite: Worlds of Wonder
Imagine a place where nostalgia meets cutting-edge technology, where every corner is bathed in mesmerising light and colour. Welcome to Lite-Brite: Worlds of Wonder, a unique experience that promises to rekindle your sense of childlike wonder. This event takes the classic Lite-Brite toy and reimagines it as an immersive spectacle.

Prepare to watch the Big Top transform into a magical space filled with discovery, where the interplay of lights and sounds will make you feel as if you’ve stepped into a surreal dream.
2. The immersive rave experience, Sonic Neon
Inside the Crystal Palace, you can step into the Rhythm Reactor, the product of a team of visionary musicologists who wished to unravel the mysteries of sound in its purest form. Watch as over 26,000 lights flicker and dance to the beat of music across eight rooms, including the Drum Den, Melodic Maze, Rumble Room and Boom Box. In each space, you’ll interact with installations such as multi-coloured laser beams, light-up pads, LED ropes and mirror mazes. Experience sound and light in a whole new way inside this living, breathing music machine.
3. DJ Dorothy’s Rave of Innocence
The Wiggles have been a beloved part of Australian childhoods for over 30 years, and now you can relive those memories—or make new ones—with this dynamic event. DJ Dorothy the Dinosaur and her crew are turning up the heat inside the Crystal Palace with electrifying remixes of classic dance anthems and your favourite Wiggles hits like “Rock-A-Bye Your Bear,” “Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car,” and more. Plus, don’t miss the chance to meet and snap a photo with Dorothy or Henry the Octopus! While the experience is designed with kids in mind, it’s far from a children-only affair, offering a walk down memory lane for those who’ve been fans for decades.
4. State-of-the-art rides that blend thrills with iconic views
What makes a visit to Luna Park truly unforgettable is the way it combines gravity-defying rides with unbeatable panoramic views of the city. One of the latest additions is the Big Dipper, the world’s first double-launch, single-rail roller coaster. While you’re on this smooth yet heart-pounding journey full of twists, turns and drops, you can take in the views of the Opera House or the breathtaking Sydney Harbour. Other highlights include Volaré, a mesmerising flying carousel, and the Sledgehammer, an attraction that will have you spinning and swinging high above the park. Offering a soaring sensation unlike anything else, they’re perfect for those who want to combine 360-degree views with a touch (or more) of exhilaration.
5. The whimsical world of Coney Island
Coney Island is a timeless gem that has been entertaining visitors for decades with its retro charm and playful attractions. Zip down the famous giant slides or take the plunge at the Devil’s Drop—the slide so tall the roof of Coney Island had to be raised just to fit it inside. Also home to quirky rides like the Wonky Walk, Barrels of Fun, and the magical Mirror Maze, this nostalgic corner of Luna Park will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a vintage carnival. It’s the perfect balance to the high-tech rides outside the Island, but also makes for a few enchanting hours of fun on its own.
