• Central Park Carousel - Built in 1908, this Carousel is among the largest in the country, showcasing 57 hand-carved horses and two ornate chariots.
• Wollman Rink - As the largest public ice rink in NYC, Wollman Rink is also renowned for its appearances in films like Home Alone 2, Limitless, and Serendipity.
• Chess & Checkers House Visitor Center - Surrounded by 24 tables, this charming pagoda offers plenty of shade, making it perfect for a game of checkers any time of the year.
• The Dairy Visitor Center and Gift Shop - Historically, fresh milk was essential for children, but scandals and cholera outbreaks cast doubt on the city’s dairy production. To address this, the city established a place in the park where families could access fresh milk. Today, the Dairy serves as a visitor center, providing information on Central Park’s design, events, and programs.
• Central Park’s Literary Walk - This quarter-mile path is lined with majestic American elm trees. Walking along the Mall offers a transcendent experience, just as Olmsted and Vaux intended for the Park’s only formal promenade. The path is surrounded by North America’s largest remaining stand of American elms, whose interlocking branches create a stained-glass effect as sunlight filters through.
• Balto Statue - A bronze statue of the heroic sled dog, Balto, is a cherished landmark in the Park.
• Central Park Summerstage - Located just off the eastern edge of the Mall, Rumsey Playfield is a spacious outdoor venue offering a variety of cultural experiences—music, dance, spoken word, and film.
• Conservatory Water - Originally built in 1858 as a reflecting pool for a glass conservatory, the plan was abandoned. Instead, it became a playground for model boats, making it one of the Park’s most beloved attractions for children.
• Loeb Boathouse - Known as the starting point for rowboats on Central Park’s iconic Lake, Loeb Boathouse also offers rides on an authentic Venetian gondola and dining with a view at the Lakeside Restaurant. The Boathouse Express Cafe provides casual dining with a cozy fireplace in winter.
• Bethesda Fountain - Standing 26 feet high and 96 feet in diameter, this fountain is one of the largest in the City. Created by sculptor Emma Stebbins, it commemorates the 1842 opening of the Croton Aqueduct, which brought fresh water to New York City and ended the cholera epidemic. Angel of the Waters, the City’s first major public art piece commissioned from a woman, references the gospel of John, describing an angel blessing the Pool of Bethesda with healing powers. The lily in her left hand symbolizes purity, while the four figures below represent peace, health, purity, and temperance.

The carriage will pause at Bethesda Fountain, allowing for a brief walk and photo opportunity.

• Cherry Hill - The carriage will also stop at Cherry Hill (also known as Friends Fountain) for a short walk and photo session. With plenty of benches and shade, it’s a popular spot for picnics, relaxation, and enjoying views of rowboats and the nearby Bow Bridge.
• The Lake - Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the Lake was envisioned for winter ice skating and summer boating. On December 19, 1858, about 300 ice skaters unofficially “opened” Central Park. The activity quickly gained popularity, with nearly 8,000 skaters arriving on Christmas morning the following year. While ice skating on the Lake is no longer available, the tradition of rowboats and gondolas has continued for over 150 years.
• Sheep Meadow - The most costly part of Central Park’s original construction, Sheep Meadow was transformed from rocky swampland into a lush lawn. From 1864 to 1934, a flock of pedigree sheep grazed the meadow by day and stayed in the Sheepfold, now Tavern on the Green, at night.
• Ghostbusters Building - This building is significant in American pop culture as the 1984 film Ghostbusters heavily features it.
• Pinebank Arch - One of the five remaining original cast-iron bridges in Central Park, Pinebank Arch overlooks the bridle path 11 feet below, offering a peaceful and scenic view. In winter, when trees are bare, it provides views of the grand midtown skyline. The bridge is also famous for being featured in the movie “Elf.”
• Columbus Circle - Notable for its central monument, Columbus Circle is also recognized for the subways beneath it and the surrounding buildings.
• Heckscher Playground - As the oldest and largest playground in Central Park, Heckscher Playground spans nearly two acres. It features typical park attractions like slides, swings, and seesaws, as well as a water fixture and giant rocks for climbing.
