Description
A Central Park horse carriage ride is among the most classic things to do in New York, and this one is run as an official ride with a private carriage for you and your companions. Sit back and leave the city streets behind.
You can choose a fully guided sightseeing ride, where the driver talks about the park's history, its movie locations and the celebrities who have visited, or a quiet and romantic ride with little talking. Either way there is a photo stop, and which one depends on the route you pick: Bethesda Terrace, Cherry Hill or Strawberry Fields. Two ride lengths are offered.
- Tavern on the Green and Columbus Circle
- Bow Bridge over the Lake
- The Carousel, Wollman Rink and the Balto statue
- Sheep Meadow, The Mall and the Dakota Building
You can also meet the horses, pet them, feed them approved treats and take photos with them. The horses are looked after under New York City rules on working hours, rest, veterinary supervision and stables.
Blankets are provided for cold days and a top cover for strong sun. Dress for the weather, as the carriage is open air. It is not suitable for people with animal allergies, and the ride is offered in English, Spanish and Turkish.
