I took my daughter and some visiting friends up to central park. As we were doing a whirlwind tour, I thought a horse ride would be a nice way to see the park and live an experience they see in the movies. They did enjoy it - you can't say otherwise, but it is quite short, and quite expensive. Officially,... more

Central Park is by far the best Free attraction in NYC. We strolled through Central Park in late October for 2 1/2 hours and barely covered a quarter of the park. There is so much to see. This park is a photographers dream! There is a zoo, carousel,winding roads, water fountain, lakes, restaurants, musicians,etc. It's fun to see all the... more

Must do a tour - you'll never see it by walking! Either rent a bike, or the horse drawn carriage or the guys who will pull you in a carriage while riding a bike, which was our choice. Along with the ride, came a narrated tour including a few photo stops. It was worth the $60 price we were given more

We live in the middle of 40 acres of woods so walking in Central Park was like taking a walk in my woods. There were some beautiful spots and we ended up buying two cds from a band who was performing in one of the areas but overall, it was just a hot, sweaty walk. more

This park is amazing; we walked around it for about an hour but I think I could have spent all day there. I can't descride it, this is an attraction you have to experience for yourself. I attached some pictures to give you an idea of the beauty of this park. more

You cannot visit New York without at least a short walk in the park. Each time we visit the city we always have a walk through the park, especially nice on a Sunday morning in good summer weather when the park is full of families, kids, runners, cyclists, kids playing soccer and baseball, etc. The scenery is nice and the... more

As Central Park is a 7 miles loop all around hire a bike and see it all. You would never walk it all and it has a cycle path. I hate cycling normally as I am not that fit but we did it twice! It took around 45 mins to cycle the whole thing. Then we stopped for lunch at... more

LOVED Central Park! Couldn't believe how lovely it was- since the media only speaks of bad things, I was expecting it to be dirty and scary- HELL NO! It's peaceful, serene, just an amazing right in the middle of a huge city. Don't miss it! more

We loved visiting central park on our stay in nyc. Its green and lush with water features and lovely areas located all over the park. There are spots for sun baking, spots for sports and activities, and spots for kids to play. We were told many stories about the horses in central park being treated very bad, so it was... more
