Every summer, Malta gets a little more magical – and a lot louder. Luna Park is back at Ta’ Qali, and if you have never been, this is the year to go. And if you have been before, you already know you are going back.

This is not your typical theme park with queues, wristbands, and overpriced everything. Luna Park Malta is something more old-fashioned and more fun for it – a proper travelling funfair straight from Italy, arriving on the island every May with its flashing lights, blaring music, and rides that spin just a little faster than you expect. It is the kind of place where kids drag their parents onto rides, teenagers dare each other onto the scary ones, and adults end up having just as much fun as anyone.

Here is everything you need to know before you go.

Where Is It and How Do You Get There?

Luna Park 2026 is set up at the Ta’ Qali Crafts Village, which sits in the centre of Malta between Mosta and Attard. It is easy to reach from most parts of the island.

What Rides Are There?

This is what everyone really wants to know. Luna Park Malta has something for every age and every level of bravery – from gentle carousels for the little ones to rides that will properly test your stomach. Here is a breakdown of what to expect.

What About Games and Arcade Stalls?

Beyond the rides, Luna Park has the full fairground experience – rows of game stalls where you can win prizes, test your aim, or simply watch other people try and fail to knock down bottles with a ball. The arcade booths are a big part of the atmosphere, especially as the evening gets going and the lights come on across the whole site.

It is the kind of thing that feels slightly impossible to win but impossible to walk past without trying at least once. Factor in a few euros for the games on top of the rides – it adds to the experience.

Food and Drinks

You will not go hungry. Luna Park Malta has food stalls scattered throughout the site, and the smell of them is half the atmosphere. Expect the kind of food that was designed to be eaten while walking around in the dark with sugar on your fingers.

What to look out for:

Pancakes with Nutella are a firm favourite – warm, sweet, and exactly right for a summer evening. Sugar wool (candy floss) is everywhere. Burgers, hot dogs, and fried snacks keep the savoury crowd happy. Soft drinks and cold water are available throughout – important when it is warm and you have been on the Ciclone twice.

How Much Does It Cost?

Entry is completely free – you only pay for what you ride. Rides are priced per ride, so you are in control of how much you spend. For a family or a group, it makes sense to budget a reasonable amount per person if you want to do several rides, grab some food, and have a go at a game or two. It is good value for an evening out, especially given that the atmosphere alone is worth the trip.

When Is the Best Time to Go?

Is It Good for Families with Young Children?

Yes – genuinely. Luna Park Malta is not just for teenagers and adrenaline seekers. The carousels, trampolines, Fun House, and Ferris wheel are all perfectly suited to younger children. The open layout means you can keep an eye on kids easily, and the food stalls are accessible throughout. Little ones tend to love the atmosphere even before they get on a single ride – the lights, the music, and the general excitement of it all.

That said, some of the bigger rides have height restrictions, so check before your children get their hearts set on the roller coaster.
