澳洲月神公園之夜:雪梨與墨爾本的奇幻旅程



2018年來到雪梨就出發很有名的Luna Park,俗稱月神公園,晚上小巴士停在港灣大橋下還可以看到雪梨歌劇院,下車後遠遠就看到月神公園的臉在眼前,一直與朋友說很像美國恐怖片裡頭會出現的場景,畢竟Luna Park 建造於1930年代,有種懷舊的恐怖感。


"In 2018, I visited the iconic Luna Park in Sydney, commonly known as the Moon God Park. In the evening, the small bus parked under the Harbour Bridge, offering a distant view of the Sydney Opera House. Upon disembarking, the face of Luna Park emerged before me, reminiscent of scenes from classic American horror films. After all, Luna Park was constructed in the 1930s, exuding a nostalgic yet eerie atmosphere.


不過非常酷的冷知識是第二次世界大戰的月神公園是軍人會來約會的地方。

"However, a fascinating piece of trivia is that during World War II, this place was a popular spot for soldiers to go on dates."

六月份是澳洲的冬季,所以晚上的風偏大所以感覺有些冷,下車後開始自由活動的時間導遊發給每個人一個肉派可以享用。


"In June, which is winter in Australia, the evenings can feel chilly due to the cool breeze. Upon disembarking, during the free time, the guide provided each person with a meat pie to enjoy."


微冷的天氣吃著肉派也算是很愜意的享受。導遊推薦是雪梨很有名的肉派,外皮偏酥皮的口感搭配超燙的肉餡,不過很意外肉餡沒有太腥的味道。


"Savoring a meat pie in the mildly cool weather is indeed a delightful experience. The guide recommended a famous meat pie in Sydney, featuring a flaky crust and piping hot meat filling. Surprisingly, the meat filling lacked any strong, gamey taste."


看到一張超大笑臉就知道抵達了大門口,巨大的牙齒還會發光,看起來真的像是要把我們吃了。

"Spotting a massive smiling face, we knew we had reached the entrance. The enormous teeth even illuminated, making it truly appear as if it was going to devour us."

進場後,除了有播放歡樂的音樂外,整個公園充滿著美式復古跟馬戲團的風格。售票口很少人,也許是因為我們抵達的時候已經是晚上七點左右,剛好那一天晚上八點公園就準備休館了。(月神公園的營業時間都不同,可以自行先上官方網站查看)

"Upon entering, aside from playing cheerful music, the entire park was filled with an American retro and circus atmosphere. The ticket booth had few people, perhaps because we arrived around 7 PM, coinciding with the park closing at 8 PM that evening. (Luna Park's operating hours vary, and you can check the official website for details.)"

售票處的旁邊就是紀念品區,販賣月神公園的周邊商品,紀念品是有質感的像是衣服的材質也不錯,我也在這買了一個月神公園門口造型的金屬鑰匙圈回家做紀念。


"Next to the ticket booth was the souvenir area, selling Luna Park merchandise. The souvenirs were of high quality, with materials similar to clothing. I also bought a metal keychain featuring the iconic Luna Park entrance as a keepsake to take home."


遊樂設施滿多選項,但看到有點老舊的摩天輪轉的卻超級快的時候就放棄想玩的衝動了,加上可能抵達時間太晚很多設施也沒有開放。


"With numerous amusement options available, the sight of a somewhat aged Ferris wheel spinning incredibly fast made me abandon the urge to give it a try. Additionally, arriving late in the day meant that many attractions were already closed."


也有一些簡單的小遊戲可以玩,有點像台灣夜市會出現的丟球打倒瓶子的遊戲,一局是5塊澳幣而四局是15塊,越多局越划算,沒有挑戰因為想著如果不小心中了超大娃娃真的帶不回台灣。

"There were also some simple carnival games available, resembling the ones found at night markets in Taiwan, like tossing balls to knock down bottles. One round cost 5 Australian dollars, while four rounds were priced at 15 dollars, making it more economical with each additional round. I refrained from trying, thinking that winning a large plush toy might be challenging and impractical to bring back to Taiwan."



小遊戲的攤位玩偶嘴巴都張超大,是我的未解之謎。 "The mystery of the carnival game booths: the dolls all had disproportionately large mouths."


整個園區其實不大像,像臺北兒童樂園,基本的設施都有,很快就可以逛完。

"The entire park is not very large, resembling Taipei Children's Amusement Park. With all the basic facilities, you can explore it quickly."

晚上的月亮公園真的散發出浪漫的氣息,霓虹燈的搭配下很適合約會,也可以在這裡發現有趣的鏡子增加一些笑料。

"The evening atmosphere at Luna Park truly exudes a romantic vibe, enhanced by the neon lights making it an ideal spot for a date. You can also discover amusing mirrors here, adding some extra laughter to the experience."





在一個轉角處發現了一個3D的藝術箭頭,好喜歡這樣的驚喜,雖然只是一個簡單的標示但整體的設計除了有趣,顏色的選擇也很鮮豔和諧,所以就拍下來紀念。

"At a corner, I stumbled upon a 3D art arrow – loved these unexpected surprises. Though a simple marker, the overall design was not only fun but also featured vibrant and harmonious colors. I couldn't resist capturing it as a keepsake."



這一區叫做Coney Island 康尼島的區域,康尼島的整棟建築給我一種芝加哥歌劇院的華麗感,遊樂設施是以紅、綠、黃,三種顏色來劃分,紅色主要是18歲以上的大人也是可以遊玩,但綠色與黃色主要是給小朋友玩的遊樂中心。


"This area is known as Coney Island, and the architecture of the entire Coney Island building gives me a sense of the grandeur of the Chicago Opera House. The amusement facilities are divided into three sections based on colors – red, green, and yellow. The red section is mainly for adults aged 18 and above, while the green and yellow sections serve as amusement centers primarily designed for children."

從旁邊的窗戶偷看的我,一眼看去就發現非常巨大的溜滑梯,相比之下台灣的溜滑梯真的算是非常的友善。溜滑梯的設計也帶濃濃的復古感,牆上的圖畫像是翻開一本童話故事書。


"Peeking through the nearby windows, I immediately noticed an enormous slide, making Taiwanese slides seem quite modest in comparison. The design of the slide exuded a strong retro vibe, and the paintings on the walls resembled pages from an open fairy tale book."

小朋友玩得非常開心,正中間可愛的櫃檯以為是販賣糖果的商店,結果是工作人員工作的區域,覺得很貼心的是有一邊的櫃檯設計是比較矮的,應該是專門為小朋友所設計的櫃檯。


"The children were having a blast, and in the middle, there was an adorable counter that I initially thought was a candy store. However, it turned out to be the staff's work area. What I found considerate was that one side of the counter was designed to be lower, likely intended specifically for children."

遠遠就可以看到一間紅白相間的美式賽車風格的餐廳,但最可愛的是柱子上面的裝飾竟然是一個漢堡包。少女心在這一刻大爆發,甚至還起了好想帶回家的念頭。


"From a distance, I could see a red and white American race car-themed restaurant, and the cutest part was the decorations on the pillars – they were shaped like hamburgers. My inner girlish delight erupted at that moment, and I even entertained the thought of bringing one home."

總體來說晚上的月神公園是屬於一個非常適合來這裡約會的地方,可以先欣賞外頭的港灣大橋再慢慢走近月亮公園,是屬於燈光美氣氛佳的地點。白天可能就沒有這麼浪漫了,比較適合與朋友或帶小孩一起玩樂的遊樂場。


"Overall, Luna Park at night is a perfect spot for a romantic date. You can start by enjoying the view of the Harbour Bridge from outside and then leisurely approach Luna Park. It's a location with beautiful lighting and a delightful atmosphere. During the day, the charm might not be as romantic and is more suitable for amusement with friends or bringing children to play."

雖然我在這裡沒有玩太多遊樂設施,但整體的感覺帶給我的體驗是非常開心的,最後在導遊倒數最後一分鐘才用跑步上車結束這趟奇幻的旅程。


"Even though I didn't try many amusement rides, the overall experience brought me a lot of joy. In the end, I sprinted to catch the bus in the last minute as the guide counted down, concluding this fantastical journey."

發現最新的設施是沈浸式觀看時長一小時的「夢想馬戲團」。

"I discovered the latest attraction, an immersive one-hour show called 'Dream Circus,' offering a captivating circus experience."

時間來到2021年,當時就知道墨爾本也有一座月神公園,但是一直以為跟雪梨的一樣所以就一直沒來。

"In 2021, I knew that Melbourne also had a Luna Park, but I always assumed it was similar to the one in Sydney, so I never visited."



要回國前終於和室友一起來到這裡,首先因為墨爾本的月亮公園位置在聖基達爾(St Kilda)海邊旁,所以一下車就能感受到風就非常的大,就像台灣的漁港,風速一樣還夾雜著淡淡的海味。


"Finally, before returning to my home country, my roommates and I visited here together. The first thing I noticed was that Melbourne's Luna Park is located by the seaside in St Kilda, so as soon as we got off the car, we could feel the strong wind, reminiscent of a Taiwanese fishing port, with a hint of sea breeze in the air."



月神公園旁黃色建築就是非常有名的Palais Theatre皇宮劇院,也是19世紀的建築,歷史也是非常悠久,可惜沒有時間來這裡看表演,最有名的是芭雷舞的表演。


"Adjacent to Luna Park is the iconic Palais Theatre, a yellow building that dates back to the 19th century. With a rich history, it's unfortunate that we didn't have time to attend a performance here. The most renowned shows held at the theatre are ballet performances."


入場後,準備購票發現旁邊的看板的畫像長得很特別,很像梁朝偉以前演的一部電影的角色,中毒不小心變成香腸嘴的「西毒」歐陽鋒。


"Upon entering, as we prepared to purchase tickets, we noticed the distinctive portrait on the nearby sign, resembling a character from a movie played by Tony Leung Chiu-wai. It unintentionally became reminiscent of 'Westward,' Ouyang Feng, with his iconic 'sausage mouth.'"

雪梨的月神公園是走美式風格而墨爾本的風格感覺就是許多元素的混搭。


"While Sydney's Luna Park follows an American style, Melbourne's version feels like a mix of various elements."

(擷取自2024年的官方網站票券資訊)

門票的購買方式有些不同,除了購買入場門票外遊樂設施是另外再加購,可以花較多的錢無限制的遊玩或是選擇只玩三到四種的票券就會比較便宜,我們是選擇便宜的票價。


"The ticket purchasing options are a bit different. In addition to the entrance ticket, amusement rides can be purchased separately. You can spend more for unlimited rides or choose a more affordable option with tickets for three to four specific attractions. We opted for the cost-effective ticket."

購票完後就會給一個手環,接著就可以掃描QR Code進場。


"After purchasing tickets, you'll receive a wristband, and then you can enter by scanning the QR code."



入場後旁邊小月神公園是一間紀念品店,但是紀念品偏少沒有很好逛,所以一樣紀念品都沒買。

"After entering, there is a souvenir shop next to the small Luna Park, but it had a limited selection, making it less enjoyable to browse. Therefore, we didn't end up buying any souvenirs."


入場後看到一個超小的摩天輪,超級復古,比較少防護措施。


"After entering, we spotted a tiny Ferris wheel – extremely retro, with fewer safety measures in place."


就是以前美國電影「手札情緣」中約會會出現的摩天輪,不過剛好沒有開放,雖然我也不敢搭就是了。


"It's the same kind of Ferris wheel you'd see in old American movies like 'The Notebook.' However, it happened to be closed during our visit, not that I dared to ride it anyway."


餐廳的設計非常的特別,巨人的造型像是正在表演著音樂會,是我非常喜歡的一個設計。幾乎每個巨人的頭上都有一些特別的朋友停留,尤其是負責吹奏喇叭的巨人頭上有一隻猴子跟著一起演奏,晚上餐廳看起來更有奇幻感。


The restaurant's design is incredibly unique, with giant figures resembling musicians in the midst of a concert, a design that I particularly adore. Almost every giant has some special companions perched on their heads, especially the one responsible for playing the trumpet, which has a monkey accompanying the performance. In the evening, the restaurant takes on an even more fantastical atmosphere.



園區內也有一些小遊戲可以玩,一局也是差不多五塊澳幣,躍躍欲試的男友就準備大顯身手,沒想到第一次只有24分,不過不管幾分還是會有一個安慰獎,還得到了員工的一句:「Awesome Job」的安慰。


In the park, there are also some small games to play, each round costing about five Australian dollars. Eager to give it a try, my boyfriend was ready to showcase his skills, but unexpectedly, he only scored 24 points on his first attempt. Nevertheless, regardless of the score, there is always a consolation prize, and he received some comfort from the staff with a reassuring "Awesome Job."









接著會看到一個像是皇宮的入口,那就是全世界最古老的木製的雲霄飛車。1912年建造的樂園,擁有百年歷史的雲霄飛車是由工作人員站在中間控制煞車,刺激程度甚至比遊樂園的雲霄飛車還要刺激,除了在行駛的時候會一直發出木頭的聲響,加上工作人員全程都是站著做完整趟,不曉得應該是要為自己擔心還是替他擔心了,刺激程度來自於自己的焦慮。


Next, you'll come across an entrance resembling a palace, which leads to the world's oldest wooden roller coaster. Built in 1912, this century-old roller coaster in the amusement park is controlled by staff standing in the middle, adding an even more thrilling experience than the park's other roller coasters. Besides the constant creaking sound of the wooden structure during the ride, the staff remains standing throughout the entire journey. Whether to worry for oneself or for them, the excitement stems from the inherent anxiety of the unique experience.

整個園區是由木製雲霄飛車所環繞,而雲霄飛車是沒有使用任何一顆螺絲釘,真的非常厲害。

The entire park is surrounded by a wooden roller coaster, and what's truly impressive is that this roller coaster is constructed without the use of a single screw.



玩到肚子餓了,看到鐵製的餐車既復古又有科技感。

After playing for a while and working up an appetite, we spotted a vintage yet technologically advanced iron food cart.



於是我們就點了熱狗跟棉花糖來吃。

So, we ordered hot dogs and cotton candy to eat.


只能說熱狗非常硬之外,棉花糖超級無敵甜。推薦給餓了三天的人來吃或許會覺得很好吃。


I can only say that aside from the hot dog being extremely tough, the cotton candy was unbelievably sweet. I would recommend it to someone who has been hungry for three days; they might find it delicious.




不知不覺就晚上了,真的跟白天差很多,還是喜歡晚上的燈光跟氛圍,就好像所有的遊樂設施都醒了過來,包括原本看起來很不起眼的小摩天輪,一開燈好像雞蛋冰,覺得非常可愛。


Unconsciously, it was already evening, and it was really different from daytime. I still prefer the nighttime lights and atmosphere; it's as if all the amusement rides have come alive, including the seemingly inconspicuous Ferris wheel. When it lights up, it looks like an egg ice cream, and I find it incredibly cute.

遊樂園的遊樂設施差不多有20種,但是當天就有滿多都在維修。玩完雲霄飛車後接著去玩了鬼屋火車。一上車我的眼睛就自動閉上到結束,所以我不能確定裡頭到底恐不恐怖。無法提供確切的經驗給大家,只能告訴大家這個火車會跑兩趟,所以會閉上眼睛兩次。


There were about 20 amusement rides at the theme park, but many of them were under maintenance that day. After riding the roller coaster, I went on the haunted train. As soon as I got on, my eyes automatically closed until it ended, so I can't confirm if it was scary inside. Unfortunately, I can't provide a precise experience, but I can tell you that the train takes two trips, so your eyes will close twice.

最漂亮的遊樂設施就是旋轉木馬了,搭配上燈光和音樂就好像一個巨大的音樂盒。

The most beautiful amusement ride was the carousel, enhanced by lights and music, resembling a giant music box.


仔細看旋轉木馬的上面還有搭配著復古的騎馬的畫像,好喜歡這樣衝突的美感,而餐廳在這個夜晚巨人們看起來就像是正在表演的藝術家。


Upon closer inspection, the carousel's top features vintage horse paintings, creating a delightful clash of aesthetics. The restaurant, on this night, made the giants look like performing artists.

玩完結束的時候已經天黑了,準備拍一張照片留做紀念,風依然非常的大。

When we finished, it was already dark. I prepared to take a photo as a memento, but the wind was still very strong.

推薦指數:四顆星

官方網站:Melbourne Luna Park 地址:18 Lower Esplanade ,St Kilda VIC 營業時間:週一到週五11:00~22:00(特殊假期會有更改)

雪梨、墨爾本月亮公園大比拼

夜晚氣氛:雪梨勝過 墨爾本


(雪梨的月神公園晚上的燈光搭配街景與音樂都可以讓人很沈浸。)

(墨爾本的月神公園晚上人煙稀少,少了一點熱鬧的感覺。)


遊樂設施完整性:雪梨 勝過 墨爾本


(雪梨的月神公園設計風格比較統一完整而遊樂設施與小遊戲也是比較多樣性。)

(墨爾本的月亮公園是什麼都有,但也很多設施看起來已經非常老舊了。)


紀念品商店與餐廳:雪梨 勝過 墨爾本

(雪梨的月亮公園紀念品算是比較多樣,餐廳的小設計也比較可愛)

(墨爾本的月亮公園紀念品數量較少之外,販售的商品也比較一般不會特別想要買,餐廳外觀設計很美但當時沒有營業,外頭的餐車食物不推。)



整體來說雪梨的月神公園會比較符合我對樂園的想像,不過兩座樂園都是建造於19世紀還能維持運作到現在已經是非常厲害。 Overall, Luna Park in Sydney seems to better match my imagination of an amusement park. However, the fact that both parks were built in the 19th century and are still operational today is quite impressive.
