Central Park Pedicab Tour with local Guide

Central Park

Central Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, was established in 1858 as the first landscaped public park in the United States. Built to provide a natural retreat from the fast-growing industrial city, the park transformed over 800 acres of swampy and rocky terrain into a green sanctuary. The design combined natural beauty with man-made features, including picturesque lakes, bridges, and meandering paths. Central Park is an iconic green oasis in the heart of Manhattan, offering breathtaking views, historical landmarks, and plenty of scenic spots for relaxation and exploration. During your pedicab tour, travelers will see famous attractions such as Bethesda Fountain, Strawberry Fields, The Mall, and Bow Bridge. Your knowledgeable guide will provide fascinating stories about the park's history, design, and hidden gems. Travelers can enjoy photo stops at key locations and experience the park's vibrant atmosphere.

Central Park Carousel

Pass-by Only

One of the oldest and most charming attractions in the park, the Central Park Carousel has been delighting visitors since 1871. The current version was installed in 1951 and features 57 hand-carved horses. It has appeared in films like "The Producers" and "The Spanish Prisoner," adding a nostalgic New York City vibe to many scenes.

This charming stone cottage is a quiet gem in Central Park where visitors can enjoy free games of chess and checkers. Opened in 1952, it offers a peaceful pause in nature — and a glimpse into New York's love for strategy and tradition. It has been featured in quiet scenes from indie films and is a favorite among local park lovers.
