We’ve all been to a Luna Park at least once in our lives. But did you ever wonder what it was like back in the day? Here are some gorgeous snaps of Pieta's Luna Park back in 1960.

1. We’ve all experienced a cool (and scream-inducing) ride on this revolving swing!

3. The spaceship ride made us wish we were Buzz Lightyear, swooshing off into the sky.

4. We have no idea what this is, but we definitely don’t want to be in that guy’s place!

5. Spinning and turning upside down while trying to hold down that hot dog was quite the feat!

6. As tradition goes, parents would watch their kids whizz by on the rides, patiently waiting to move onto the next!
