Activity itinerary

Wollman Rink (Pass by)

Wollman Rink is the largest public ice rink in NYC and also famous for scenes from films such as Home Alone 2, Limitless, and Serendipity.

Central Park Carousel (Pass by)

Originally crafted in 1908, the current Carousel is one of the nation's largest merry-go-rounds, featuring 57 hand-carved horses and two decorative chariots.

Chess & Checkers House Visitor Center (Pass by)

The 24 tables surrounding this rustic pagoda are blessed with ample shade, ideal for a checkers game any time of year.

The Dairy Visitor Center and Gift Shop (Pass by)

Back in time, one of the critical needs of children was for fresh milk. Unfortunately, a series of scandals and cholera outbreaks shrouded the city's dairy production in suspicion. To lift suspicion and fulfil the Dairy needs of the people, the city provided a place where families could find a ready supply of fresh milk when travelling to the park. Thus, the dairy was built. Today, the Dairy serves as a general visitor centre, providing the public with information on the design of Central Park, current park events, and programmes.

Central Park's Literary Walk (Pass by)

This quarter-mile promenade is flanked by towering American elm trees. A stroll along the Mall can be a transcendent experience, precisely what Olmsted and Vaux envisioned for the Park’s only formal promenade. The elegant path is surrounded by North America’s largest remaining stand of American elms, whose interlocking branches create a stained-glass effect as sunlight trickles to the ground.

Balto Statue (Pass by)

A heroic sleigh dog immortalised in bronze, Balto is a beloved fixture in the Park.

Central Park Summerstage (Pass by)

A spacious outdoor entertainment venue just off the eastern edge of the Mall, Rumsey Playfield features all types of cultural delights—music, dance, spoken word, and film.

Conservatory Water (Pass by)

This ornamental pond was originally constructed in 1858 as a reflecting pool for a glass conservatory, but the plan for the structure was abandoned. Instead, in the tradition of Parisian parks, it became a playground for model boats—and, consequently, one of the Park’s most beloved children’s attractions.

Central Park Boathouse (Pass by)

Loeb Boathouse is best known as the launch point for the rowing boats dotting Central Park's iconic Lake. From Loeb Boathouse, visitors can also take a ride on an authentic Venetian gondola or enjoy a meal with a view at the Lakeside Restaurant. More casual fare can be found at the cafeteria-style Boathouse Express Cafe, where an inviting fireplace provides a cosy respite in winter.

Bethesda Fountain

5m
Admission ticket included

At 26 feet high and 96 feet in diameter, this fountain is one of the largest in the City. Created by sculptor Emma Stebbins, it commemorates the 1842 opening of the Croton Aqueduct, which brought fresh water from Westchester County into New York City and ended the cholera epidemic. Angel of the Waters—the City’s first major piece of public art commissioned from a woman—references the gospel of John, which describes an angel blessing the Pool of Bethesda and giving it healing powers. The lily in her left hand represents purity, and the four figures surrounding the pedestal below signify peace, health, purity, and temperance. The carriage will stop by the Bethesda Fountain, and you will be able to have a short walk to the fountain and take pictures.

Cherry Hill

2m
Admission ticket included

The carriage will stop at the Cherry Hill (aka Friends Fountain) to have a short walk and take memorable pictures. Offering plenty of benches and shade, it is a popular spot to picnic, relax, and take in the views of rowing boats and nearby Bow Bridge.

The Lake (Pass by)

Central Park designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux imagined the Lake as a place for ice skating in the winter—a pastime not available to New Yorkers at the time—and boating in the summer. On December 19, 1858, some 300 ice skaters took to the Lake at an unofficial “opening” of Central Park. The activity was an instant hit and soon skyrocketed in popularity; on Christmas morning the following year, nearly 8,000 skaters showed up. Though ice skating on the Lake is a thing of the past, the warm-weather tradition of rowing boats and gondolas has endured for over 150 years.

Sheep Meadow (Pass by)

Sheep Meadow was by far the most expensive part of Central Park’s original construction. Transforming the rocky swampland into a lush lawn was not easy. To build it, designers blasted out rock and put in several feet of soil in its place. From 1864 to 1934, the meadow had a dedicated team of somewhat unusual caretakers: a flock of grazing pedigree sheep. The sheep tended the meadow during the day and spent their evenings in the Sheepfold, in what is now Tavern on the Green.

Ghostbusters Building (Pass by)

The building holds significance in American popular culture because the plot of the 1984 film Ghostbusters revolves heavily around it.

Columbus Circle (Pass by)

Columbus Circle is remarkable not only for its central monument but also for the subways beneath it and the collection of buildings clustered around it.

Heckscher Playground (Pass by)

Heckscher Playground is not only the oldest playground in Central Park, it is also the largest at almost two acres. In addition to the typical park attractions, such as a variety of slides, swings, and seesaws, Heckscher Playground features both a water fixture and giant rocks for climbing.
