Good sanctuary in a busy city. The many many hawkers were a bit of a problem. More

Spent a few hours walking around Central Park and loved it! Definitely go to Belvedere Castle and check out the view from the top. Strawberry Fields is also a must-visit. I also enjoyed reading the inscriptions on the park benches. More

I learned my lesson when I first visited Central Park in 2010. I got lost for 3 hours and when I came back in 2011, I suggested to my friend that we will take carriage ride instead and it was a good choice. We were able to go around central park without any hassle and it was a good tour... More

Went with 3 teenagers. We had 2 pedicabs & they kept us together. The drivers were knowledgable & funny. There were 2 stops on the tour so we could get out & take pictures. Great way to quickly see the park. More
