Luna Dark for Halloween at Luna Park!
This Halloween, Luna Park mysteriously transforms into Luna Dark, Melbourne’s biggest and most bone-chilling Halloween costume party!

Luna Dark Melbourne
Luna Park like you’ve never seen it before!
Over Halloween Luna Park becomes a frightening four-day festival of fun, with night rides, live music, VR horror games, SFX horror makeup artists, screaming competition and much more.
Oh, and never mind the hordes of zombies and ghosts roaming around the place. They’re completely harmful. There will be day sessions on Saturday, Sunday and Monday for all you day walkers, but things really get creepy on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.
So, sharpen your fangs, get the fake blood pumping, and bring your fearsome family to Luna Park. If your costume is the best and scariest, you’ll win the special prize!

What to expect?
So, what’s in store for the brave guests willing to plunge into the world of Luna Dark and experience the scariest three-days and four-nights in town?
Menacing monsters everywhere
Make sure to look around every corner and behind shoulders because you never know when a Luna zombie, ghostly ghoul or creepy cadaver will reach and grab you!
Fresh from the local tombstones in the area, this terrifying troupe will not stop until they sniff you out. Freaky face painting.
Freaky Faces
Turn the kiddies into real life goblins or ghosts during the day at the ‘Freaky Faces’ face painting parlour, or for the big kids among you, the talented SFX face painters from The Academy of Make Up will also be making adult guests over with bloodcurdling themes.
Wizz Fizz is back
The kids are sure to get screaming with delight once they get stuck into playing the Wizz Fizz ‘Monster Bash’ game in the Luna Games Hut.
With plenty of sherbet treats to be won, the young spooksters are bound to be fizzing with energy all ready to meet the Wizz Fizz Monsters who will be monstering around the Park on Saturday, Sunday and Monday day sessions. AND there’ll be a Wizz Fizz Trick or Treat zone (more treats than tricks) for the little monsters.
Screaming Competitions
Permission to scream your lungs out and beat the loudest screamers in town as you run from zombies, ghosts and the undead.
Night Sessions
In addition to the above Night Sessions will include: Fangtastic photo studio – Gather all your mates and step inside the ‘Haunted Halloween’ photo booth. Grab a prop or two; pose in front of Halloween themed backdrops and get your freakiest poses on.
All guests get a pic souvenir and are entered into the best-dressed competition for a chance to win prizes. Eerie tunes by ‘The Engagement’ – Back to belt out the very best in thrilling hits to get your feet stomping and shivers rolling up and down your spine all at the same time! Find The Engagement live band rocking out in front of The Grand Carousel.
