Central Park

Along the way, you'll learn fascinating stories about the park's history, famous movie locations, and hidden gems. Enjoy breathtaking views, scenic landscapes, and plenty of opportunities for amazing photos!

Central Park Carousel

The Central Park Carousel, one of the park’s most beloved attractions, dates back to 1908 (current version installed in 1951). Featuring 57 hand-carved horses, it delights visitors with its vintage charm and calliope music. Located mid-park at 65th Street, it offers a nostalgic ride for children and adults alike.

The Dairy Visitor Center and Gift Shop

The Dairy, located mid-Park at 65th Street in Central Park, is a Victorian Gothic-style building designed by Calvert Vaux and completed in 1871. Originally serving as a refreshment spot offering fresh milk and snacks to children, it was part of the Park's Children's District. Over the years, the Dairy underwent various transformations, including periods of decline and restoration. In 1979, it reopened as Central Park's first visitor center, and today it houses a gift shop managed by the Central Park Conservancy, offering information and merchandise to Park visitors.

Wollman Rink

Wollman Rink, nestled in Central Park's southeast corner, has been a cherished ice-skating destination since 1950. Featured in films like Love Story and Serendipity, its picturesque setting offers skaters stunning Manhattan skyline views.

Balto Statue

The Balto statue in Central Park honors the Siberian husky who led the final leg of the 1925 serum run to Nome, Alaska, delivering diphtheria antitoxin through harsh conditions. Sculpted by Frederick G.R. Roth and unveiled on December 17, 1925, the bronze statue stands near East Drive and 67th Street. Balto himself attended the dedication ceremony. The plaque on the statue reads: "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the Winter of 1925. Endurance · Fidelity · Intelligence."

Bethesda Terrace

Discover Bethesda Terrace, the heart of Central Park, featuring the iconic Angel of the Waters fountain. This architectural marvel has graced numerous films, including The Avengers and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, offering a cinematic backdrop to your exploration.

Bow Bridge

Experience the romance of Central Park's Bow Bridge, an elegant cast-iron span offering panoramic views over the Lake. This iconic spot has set the scene for films like Spider-Man 3, Enchanted, and Manhattan.

Sheep Meadow

Sheep Meadow, a 15-acre expanse in Central Park, offers a serene retreat for sunbathing, picnicking, and enjoying skyline views. Once home to grazing sheep until 1934, this pastoral haven has been featured in films like Wall Street and Barefoot in the Park.
