• Wollman Rink - As the largest public ice rink in NYC, Wollman Rink is renowned for its appearances in films like Home Alone 2, Limitless, and Serendipity.
• Central Park Carousel - Crafted in 1908, this Carousel is among the nation’s largest merry-go-rounds, showcasing 57 hand-carved horses and two ornate chariots.
• Chess & Checkers House Visitor Center - Surrounded by 24 tables, this rustic pagoda offers ample 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 a critical need for children, but scandals and cholera outbreaks cast doubt on the city’s dairy production. To address this, the city established a place where families could access fresh milk while visiting the park. 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 promenade, lined with towering American elm trees, offers a transcendent experience, just as Olmsted and Vaux envisioned 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 - Balto, a heroic sled dog, is immortalized in bronze and is a beloved feature in the Park.
• SummerStage in Central Park - Located just off the eastern edge of the Mall, Rumsey Playfield is a spacious outdoor venue offering a variety of cultural delights, including music, dance, spoken word, and film.
• Conservatory Water - Originally built in 1858 as a reflecting pool for a glass conservatory, this ornamental pond became a playground for model boats, making it one of the Park’s most cherished children’s attractions.
• Loeb Boathouse - Known as the launch point for rowboats on Central Park’s iconic Lake, Loeb Boathouse also offers rides on authentic Venetian gondolas and dining options at the Lakeside Restaurant. The Boathouse Express Cafe provides casual fare and 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 stop by Bethesda Fountain, allowing for a short walk and photo opportunities.

• Cherry Hill - The carriage will pause at Cherry Hill (also known as Friends Fountain) for a brief walk and memorable photos. 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 - Central Park designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux envisioned the Lake as a winter ice skating venue and a summer boating spot. On December 19, 1858, around 300 ice skaters unofficially “opened” Central Park on the Lake. 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 thrived for over 150 years.
• Sheep Meadow - The most expensive 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 during the day and spent nights in the Sheepfold, now Tavern on the Green.
• 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 - Columbus Circle is notable not only for its central monument but also for the subways beneath it and the surrounding buildings.
