About

You’ll ride along in comfort, pulled by a majestic horse, while being guided by the driver. The driver will relay the history of the park to you as you travel around, so you’ll feel the living history that surrounds you in Central Park. The park has been around since the 1850s, so there’s plenty of history for you to discover. You’ll see where famous movies were shot and uncover the history of the most important landmarks around the park. New York has a lot to offer, but you’ll find there is so much to see in just the park by itself.
