Restoring the Magic: Luna Palace Revival Underway ✨
We’re breathing new life into one of Luna Park’s most iconic buildings — the Luna Palace!
Thanks to $5 million in funding from the Victorian Government and a $17 million contribution from Luna Park Melbourne, this century-old treasure is being lovingly restored to its former glory. Originally home to the beloved Penny Arcade and Dodgems, Luna Palace has been closed due to hidden water damage. Now, it’s set for a major comeback!
This important restoration project will transform the Luna Palace into a vibrant events and entertainment space and help secure the future of the Park. More than just a facelift, this work ensures that Luna Park’s rich history and charm are preserved for future generations — while also expanding what we can offer our guests today.
As we work hard behind the scenes, we’re not just fixing a building — we’re preserving a piece of Melbourne’s fun-loving spirit.
Stay tuned for more updates as we restore this iconic space to shine once again! As part of this preservation effort, the upstairs function room has been temporarily closed. Luna Park remains open for fun during these vital works.

A Piece of History
As Luna Park approaches its 112th anniversary, Luna Park is also one of the few heritage amusement parks left in the world. We must protect and nurture this beloved landmark for future generations.

Restoration of the Face & Towers
In addition to the work on Luna Palace, exciting restorations are underway on Luna Park’s famous towers. Over recent months, the towers have received a refresh, with their thematic trimmings and architectural features being renewed. A fresh coat of paint has restored the towers to their original glory, and the lighting is continuing to be revamped to bring back the nostalgic 1912 glow. This restoration follows the 2022 rejuvenation of Luna Park’s iconic “Mr. Moon” entrance, ensuring that the park continues to be a magical destination for all. Every step of the restoration process is overseen by a heritage architect with extensive experience in maintaining Luna Park’s charm, with full support from Heritage Victoria.
Looking Ahead
Luna Park is an integral part of Melbourne’s history, and with these vital repairs and refurbishments, it will continue to enchant future generations. The Luna Park team are committed to keeping the fun going, ensuring the park’s legacy lives on.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting journey as Luna Park transforms into an even more magical destination.
