Itinerary

Pass by

One of the most favorite attractions in the park since it was first launched in 1871. 250 thousand people ride the carousel every year.

Pass by

The historic Chess & Checkers House is currently home to one of Central Park’s five visitor centers managed by the Central Park Conservancy. Surrounding the octagonal brick structure are 24 game tables shaded by a wooden trellis.

Pass by

The Dairy is Central Park's largest gift shop, offering a wide range of products for a wonderful day in the Park and thoughtful gifts for your loved ones. Conveniently located mid-Park at 65th Street, the Dairy is easily accessible. Plus, every purchase supports the Central Park Conservancy, so you can feel good knowing that your contribution helps care for the Park.

5 min

Located in the southwest corner of the Park, Umpire Rock is named for its location in what was Central Park’s first playground, a large open meadow where children could play games. From the same location you will be able to see the Wollman Rink.

Pass by

Ice-skating in winter and roller-skating in summer. Wollman Rink’s location in the south area of the Park makes it easy to reach as well as a prime spot for enjoying Park scenery and the City skyline—a combination that becomes ever more dramatic after dark.

Pass by

One of the most beloved monuments in the park. Balto became famous after a heroic journey across Alaska. In January 1925, an outbreak of diphtheria threatened the population of the town of Nome, Alaska. Weather conditions prevented the transport of vaccines from Anchorage by plane. A relay of dog-sled teams and mushers provided the only alternative.

Pass by

SummerStage is an outdoor concert and performance series organized by the City Parks Foundation. It is held on an open sports field in the park called Rumsey Playfield.

Pass by

The posh, residential Upper East Side is known for its wealthy denizens, fancy restaurants and designer shops along Madison Avenue. It's a pretty neighborhood, with a mix of classic brownstones and upscale high-rises. Museum Mile, a stretch of 5th Avenue next to Central Park, draws crowds to cultural institutions that include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and El Museo del Barrio.

10 min

Bethesda is a large plaza consisting of two levels as well as an Arcade and a Fountain. The Terrace is a popular destination for relaxing, people-watching, and admiring the architecture and the scenery. At the center of the Terrace stands Bethesda Fountain, also known as Angel of the Waters, one of the Park’s most beloved works of art.

Pass by

The Mall is one of Central Park’s most significant landscapes - a wide, straight path lined by two rows of American elm trees. The southern section of the Mall is known as Literary Walk because of the numerous statues of writers added there in the 19th century.

5 min

Named for the cherry trees that bloom in this landscape each spring, Cherry Hill is a popular destination overlooking the Lake. Its sloping lawn is an ideal place for picnicking, relaxing, and enjoying views of rowboats on the water. Visitors flock to Cherry Hill in spring to enjoy the pink and white blooms of the Yoshino cherry trees.

5 min

Bow Bridge got its name because of its low-lying and graceful curve that resembles the bow of an archer or violinist. It is a prominent spot that offers expansive views of the Lake and surrounding landscapes. It’s one of the most photographed Park features and one of the most romantic, serving as the site of numerous wedding proposals.

5 min

Strawberry Fields is a memorial to the British rock musician and peace activist John Lennon (1940–1980). It also includes the Imagine mosaic, where many come to pay tribute to Lennon. The memorial’s name is a reference to the 1967 song Lennon wrote and performed with the Beatles, “Strawberry Fields Forever.”

5 min

The Dakota occupies the western side of Central Park West between 72nd and 73rd streets. It is largely square in plan and built around a central H-shaped courtyard, through which all apartments are accessed. According to a 1996 article in New York magazine, many brokers classified the Dakota as one of five top-tier apartment buildings on Central Park West, largely because of its residents, large scale, and "historical prestige".

Pass by

Tavern on the Green, the restaurant located in the historic building once known as the Sheepfold, has been a destination for fine dining in Central Park since the 1930s. The restaurant recently underwent a years-long renovation during which some of its many additions were removed to expose more of the original structure and provide more variety of dining options. Tavern on the Green reopened in 2014.

1 min

Pinebank Arch is an elegant cast-iron bridge that spans the bridle path. Designed to be integrated with the landscape, it seems to emerge from rock outcrops on either end, and its lacy ironwork almost blends in with the surrounding foliage. The bridge is often photographed and is a popular spot from which to survey the surrounding landscapes and take photographs.

A great way to see Central Park!

Straight forward booking system and easy to find. Good communication throughout, had the choice to reschedule due to forecast but we decided to go ahead with our original booking. It's a great way to see Central Park and this was one of the highlights of our trip! Ibrahim was friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us video clips of the areas in the park that had been used in films and explained what the buildings along the outsides of the park were and who they belonged too! An interesting hour wished it was longer. Thankyou Ibrahim and Central Park Attractions!

Great way to get an overview of Central Park.

Se enjoyed a one hour pedicab tour with Barry. Very enjoyable. He was very personable and gave us the history of the park, info on nearby buildings, and pointed out areas where various movies were shot. $30 each for an hour.

Amazing guided tour with Ali

Booked this trip whilst already on holiday as had seen great reviews on Facebook. We had ALI and his colleague for our 4 person guide. He was brilliant! So funny, knowledgeable and friendly. We loved this tour and would defo recommend to anyone. Really good value for money and he made us feel very welcome. Ali took some amazing pictures of us as a family. We saw parts of Central Park I’d never seen before so it was a great way to get about the Park.

A highlight of our trip

Barry and the 2 other guides (we had 3 pedicabs) were so fun and helpful. Our one hour tour included interesting historical information about the park and surroundings, stops at different movie scenes, and lots of photo stops where Barry was our photographer! Will definitely book again!

Winter Central Park tour

I always use viator and this tour was great. The guide was very nice and funny , took pictures of us, we had enough time during our stops (at least 4 to take pics that I remember at the most popular spots). Other tours charge much more so don’t forget to tip! Especially during winter (they provide a blanket). Would recommend you give this a try.

Great Tour with Ibrahim

We did the 90 minute tour with Ibrahim. Ibrahim was an excellent guide . His knowledge of Central Park was excellent and I can fully recommend using Ibrahim and this company The tour was great value compared to other companies offering the same service . We did see other companies charging $2.00 dollars a minute 👀 which was around double what we paid .
