Overview

This private horse-drawn carriage ride in New York City’s Central Park lasts about 45 minutes. The carriage accommodates up to five people, including three adults and two children under 12. A driver guides the fully guided tour, providing information about Central Park’s history, landmarks, and famous movie locations. Blankets are provided for comfort during the ride. The tour includes a photo stop. Both short and standard rides pass Wollman Rink, Central Park Carousel, the Chess & Checkers House, The Dairy Visitor Center and Gift Shop, and the Plaza Hotel. The standard ride covers additional sights such as the Balto Statue, Rumsey Playfield, Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, Bow Bridge, Strawberry Fields, The Dakota (John Lennon’s former residence), Tavern on the Green restaurant, and Pinebank Arch, known from the movie Elf. The standard ride includes two photo stops: one at Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, and another near the horse where guests can feed the horse and take pictures by the carriage and fountain.
