How to get there and where to park
Tram 96 from Bourke Street and tram 16 from Swanston Street both stop at stop 138. There is no St Kilda train station. Balaclava on the Sandringham line plus tram 16 is the rail option. Paid street and council carparks surround the park. Palais show nights fill those spaces first. See the St Kilda parking guide and how to get to St Kilda.
What else to do around the park
Do not spend the whole day comparing ride specs. The park is the anchor. Acland Street cakes are three minutes away. Palais Theatre is next door. The pier and penguin platform are a 10-minute walk. The Espy is five minutes along the Esplanade.
- Ride block, then cakes on Acland Street.
- Early dinner on Jacka Boulevard before a Palais show.
- Sunset on the pier. Book penguin platform tickets separately if you want the night session.
Seasonal events
Luna Park runs school-holiday programs, Santa visits, and after-dark events. Those are listed on the official calendar and on our Luna Park events page. Use the tickets page for visit mechanics. Use events for themed nights.
