There are two Travelling Luna Parks in Switzerland:
- Luna Park (Romandy) that tours the french speaking (middle- and especially the southern) part of the country from March to August.
- Luna Park Pellerani that tours the Italian and German speaking parts of Switzerland from March to November.
Both Luna Parks have very carefully planned tours that they follow each year, but deviations can occur. Some years they might also settle at specific events that attract many visitors such as expositions, concerts, sports events etc.

Please note that the periods mentioned above can overlap because the tour plan of the Swiss Luna Parks can change from year to year. Some years Luna Park in Thun for example might be placed before the Luna Park in Lausanne and other years it might be placed after. Some years certain the locations may be entirely left out.
Some years the Swiss Luna Park also settles in smaller cities such as Morges and Bulle. This happens occasionally and is therefore difficult to include on this website.
Luna Park Pellerani in Ticino
In the Italian and German speaking part of Switzerland, the Luna Park has been run by a single family, the Pelleranis, for more than a century – that is where the name “Luna Park Pellerani” comes from. It is also called “Luna Park Ticino” because the family tours Ticino from March to November.

Sizes of the Swiss Luna Parks
The sizes and durations of the Luna Parks in Switzerland varies; the largest, longest and most well-known are those of Geneva and Lausanne followed by Luna Park Ticino respectively. The rest are quite small and almost only known by the locals.
