The lights come on, the music starts, and Argelès-Plage takes on the air of a giant fairground. Every summer, Luna Park Argelès-sur-Mer sets up its forty rides next to the sand: thrills on the roller coaster, rides for toddlers, the smell of candyfloss, and joyful shouts until one in the morning. Enough to fill an entire evening with family or friends, no booking or entry ticket required.

What rides are on offer?
This park in Argelès-sur-Mer lines up more than forty rides across roughly one hectare. Thrill-seekers try the Éclipse, which peaks at over 40 meters, or the roller coaster and its 850 meters of track. Families with young children find rides accessible from age 3, and classic stalls (hook-a-duck, shooting, claw machine) round out the offer for groups of friends.
Good to know: new rides arrive each year, which changes the park’s layout a little from one summer to the next.
How much does an evening at Luna Park cost?
Entry and parking are free: you only pay for what you use. Each ride costs between €4 and €6 per go, and discount cards or packages circulate during the season. The park accepts bank cards, holiday vouchers, and cash. For a family of four doing five or six rides, budget a good hundred euros for the evening.
Our review of Luna Park: who’s it for, and when should you go?
Luna Park Argelès-sur-Mer remains a summer fairground, not a permanent theme park: that’s worth knowing before you go. You’ll find a warm atmosphere and good times with the family, but also crowds at peak times and pay toilets that annoy some visitors. To enjoy the rides without queuing, arrive early, around 7 PM or 8 PM, with a budget calculated per ride rather than an unlimited package.
