About this tour

Discover the landscape design and history behind one of Brooklyn’s great urban retreats on this 120-minute Prospect Park walking tour. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux after their work on Central Park, the park spans 526 acres of pasture and woodland.

Explore its three distinct landscapes: the broad, open Long Meadow, the engineered waterways around the Lake, and the dense canopy of the Ravine, Brooklyn’s only forest. Along the way, learn how the park was built, encounter its architectural landmarks, and hear about its role in the development of modern Brooklyn. A live guide brings the story into focus, while the Pintours App is included for your visit.

Take a closer look at the design choices that make this green space feel like a world apart. Join a Brooklyn Prospect Park walking tour and experience the park’s varied scenery on foot.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
