What to expect

Bethesda Terrace
10m

The iconic heart of Central Park - the grand Bethesda Terrace and its famous Bethesda Fountain (Angel of the Waters), a top photo stop.
Bow Bridge
8m

One of New York's most romantic and photographed bridges, with beautiful views over Central Park Lake - a favorite photo stop.
Strawberry Fields
5m

The peaceful memorial to John Lennon, with the famous Imagine mosaic, near the Dakota Building.
Belvedere Castle
10m

The Victorian castle at the heart of the park, offering sweeping panoramic views over Central Park - a highlight of the longer tour.
Wollman Rink
5m

Your guide pauses at the rink made famous by Home Alone 2 and Serendipity. In winter you watch skaters circle beneath the Midtown skyline; in summer the same spot opens onto a wide view of Central Park South.
Gapstow Bridge
Pass by

The vine-covered stone arch over the Pond, instantly recognisable from Home Alone 2 and Gossip Girl. One of the most photographed views in the park, with the Plaza Hotel framed behind it.
Central Park Zoo
Pass by

You roll past the gates of the zoo that inspired Madagascar and appeared in Mr. Popper's Penguins. Listen for the Delacorte Clock, whose bronze animals circle and chime on the half hour.
Balto Statue
Pass by

The bronze sled dog who carried diphtheria antiserum across Alaska in 1925 and later starred in his own animated film. A favourite with kids, polished smooth by decades of small hands.
Conservatory Water
Pass by

The model boat pond from Stuart Little, where hobbyists still sail miniature yachts on weekends. The Alice in Wonderland and Hans Christian Andersen statues sit on its banks.
Sheep Meadow
Pass by

Fifteen acres of open lawn with the Midtown skyline rising straight up behind it. Real sheep grazed here until 1934. This is the classic Central Park postcard shot.
The Dakota
Pass by

The Gothic apartment building across from Strawberry Fields where John Lennon lived, and the exterior used in Rosemary's Baby. Your guide points out the gabled roofline from inside the park.
Central Park Carousel
Pass by

One of the largest merry-go-rounds in the country, with 57 hand-carved horses dating to 1908. You hear the band organ before you see it.
