About this tour

See Central Park take on a quieter, more atmospheric character after dark on a New York City moonlight horse carriage ride. Settle beneath a warm blanket as your carriage follows a route through the park’s southeast corner, with photo stops along the way.

Pass familiar sights including Wollman Rink, the Carousel, the Balto Dog Statue, SummerStage, the Boat Pond, and Bethesda Terrace and Fountain. The route also features the Naumburg Bandshell, Cherry Hill, Bow Bridge, and views of the Dakota and Strawberry Fields, with the Loeb Boathouse and Tavern on the Green among the park’s notable landmarks. You can also feed and pet the horses during the experience.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 3.25 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

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 6.8.
