The St. Kilda Adventure Playground, Melbourne is another of the popular Melbourne amusement parks.

What do you have here? Climbing structures to get on a real high, ponds to mess things up, trampolines to feel like flying, cubbies and of course, squeals of laughter.

Another of the popular Melbourne amusement parks, Luna Park, is a galore of thrills and excitement. Go absolutely dizzy with rides such as the Pharaoh's Curse, Twin Dragon and the Enterprise or have a blast, albeit toned down for the whole family to enjoy, with Arabian Merry, Scenic Railway and the Red Baron.
