Along the way, you'll learn the fascinating history of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's urban masterpiece.

Central Park has been called “one of the greatest works of art in America”. Come see why!

Your walking tour will start at Manhattan's Grand Army Plaza and continue on through the park.
