    1. Self Guided Walking Tour in Melbourne St Kilda Penguins

    Explore St Kilda like a pro-wanderer with the Trippy Tour Guide — your chatty, slightly dramatic, always-right navigator. Glide from calm libraries to grand town halls, leafy gardens, giant chess boards, artist hideaways, penguin parades, and the fabulous chaos of Acland Street. Stroll beside beaches, arches, roller coasters, sea baths, lighthouses, skateparks, piers, and palm-lined boulevards until the sunset decides to show off. Finish at Albert Park Lake feeling like you’ve unlocked a secret level of Melbourne. Expect stories, surprises, and seagulls with too much confidence.

    3. Melbourne’s Luna Park General Entry with Unlimited Rides

    3.6· 14 reviews

    From the moment you step inside Mr Moon’s giant mouth, you are exposed to a world full of carnival flair, from the rides and attractions that send you sky-high, to historical carousel rides, Melbourne’s Luna Park has been the face of fun in St Kilda for generations. Luna Park is the oldest theme park in Australia attracting thousands of visitors every year to enjoy some of the most iconic rides in Melbourne. Built in 1912, Luna Park is a testament to the bygone era of American amusement parks in the style of Coney Island, New York. The most famous of the Park’s attractions is its Roller Coaster – The Great Scenic Railway, a large wooden coaster that projects its passengers, at high speed, around the outside of the entire Park. It boasts the title of being the oldest continually operating wooden roller coaster in the world and the only one of its kind with a standing brakeman in control aboard its moving carriages.
