About this tour

See Central Park from the gentle rhythm of a horse-drawn carriage on this 45-minute ride through one of New York City’s best-loved green spaces. A licensed guide leads the way past historic landmarks, sharing the park with you as the city’s bustle gives way to leafy paths and open views.

The scenic route covers about 2.5 miles and includes a stop at Cherry Hill and Friends Fountain, where you can take photos or enjoy the surroundings. Your guide can also take pictures, and winter rides include blankets. An optional roof offers cover from rain or sun. The carriage holds up to four adults, making this a relaxed choice for couples, friends, or families; pricing is per carriage rather than per person.

Your Central Park horse carriage ride begins near the Jose Julian Marti Statue, just inside the entrance at 6th Avenue and 59th Street. Book your NYC Central Park horse carriage ride and enjoy a memorable view of the park at an easy pace.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • 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: this tour scores 6.5.
