But my favorite part of childhood to revisit here is Alice in Wonderland sculpture nearby, where you can see Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and more. You can rent small, motorized boats to float here, in summer, and in winter, ice skate for free, both things that kids love to do, and adults love to remember doing (and doing again, with their kids). Revisit your childhood at Conservatory Water Most of all, you’ll spend time and learn from an intelligent, funny, knowledgeable local tour guide – my favorite kind of people. Depending on the tour, you’ll visit and learn about Central Park, including Strawberry Fields, Bethesda Fountain, the Dakota, Cherry Hill, the Carousel, the Dairy, Conservatory Water, Cleopatra’s Needle, Belvedere Castle, Harlem Meer, the museum mile, and the quieter, northern side of the park. You’ll learn much about NYC history from your own personal guide and pedicab driver, but you’ll also discover interesting things about Central Park on a 1, 2, or 3 hour tour. If you have a bigger group, reserve a 2 (or more) rickshaws. The rickshaws are covered so you don’t get sunburned, and fit 1-3 people. Bonus for me - it's an easy way for people with mobility disabilities to get around and learn about a large area. You won’t get hot and sweaty and tired from walking, biking, or huffing it on a walking tour – especially trying to see it all in one day (impossible, on foot smelly, says the farm girl, on a horse drawn carriage!). There are many ways to learn about Central Park, but perhaps the most fun is via Peter Pen Tours, offering Central Park Rickshaw Tours.
There’s so much to do in Central Park – but here are three unusual things to do, whether you’re visiting or a local.
The Central Park Conservancy has five Visitor Centers: Charles A Dana Discovery Center, Belvedere Castle, Dairy Visitor Center, Chess & Checkers House, and Columbus Circle Information Kiosk.
#Weirdest things to do in nyc free
One of our national treasures, Central Park was our nation’s first public park – and has remained free since its creation.Ĭentral Park covers 843 acres in Manhattan, and has fountains, monuments, sculptures, play areas, wide open fields, skating rinks, pools, sports facilities and fields, fishing (!), four zoos, an aquarium, restaurants and food carts, facilities for music and theatre, water features, bridges, a castle, and countless benches for resting (and people watching, of course). When you think New York City, what comes to mind first? Central Park, of course (or, if you’re our daughter, Central Perk, and THEN Central Park).
