Enjoyed our short stay there. Kids like the little zoo. Not big so easy to move around. Not that many animals but wasn't really expecting much from a within city zoo.

So amazing to see this beautiful oasis by horse drawn carriage in the middle of busy NYC. Well worth the money. Our driver/guide was very informative and worth the $40 dollar tip i gave him. Go on sunset and see the park at it's true beauty. A trip to NYC isn't a proper trip with out going on this.

Did not get to spend a lot of time there but what I did see was awesome! Beautiful fountains, pathways, benches, statues, flowers etc. Amazing space for the citizens of NYC to enjoy nature.

Central Park is such a great break from a hectic NYC trip. We ate at Sara Beths on the West Side and than meandered through the park taking in the sites. Its pretty huge so if you can only walk a short distance make sure you plan a route and don't get lost in the middle. My kids love seeing... More

We have only visited the East side so far but is full of smaller gardens where you can sit in peace and quiet. Lots of places to walk or ride. Can't wait to see more.

Rented bikes and toured the whole park. My 75 year old parents were with us and they took a guided bike carriage tour. They had a hoot and loved their very informative bike driver.

Take the time to rent the bikes and ride through Central Park. It is a completely different experience than just walking. It's and easy ride and fun for the whole family. Try to look for a coupon before you go and price the rental places about 1 block in from the park for a better deal. I've been many times,... More

We are still talking about our Central Park experience - it was the 23rd December, rather cold and we were given an hour's tour of Central Park's highlights. It succeeded in making us all want to return in early autumn or Spring to see this mind blowing park that New Yorkers probably take for granted. It is nothing short of... More

I've been here on sunny days, wintry days and rainy days, but it's always a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. We find different areas every time we've been. Loeb Boathouse, Belvedere Castle & Bethesda Fountain are sights not to miss.
