More about this place
Central Park Pedicab Tour is a guided ride through the park’s landscapes and landmarks from the seat of a pedal-powered carriage. A driver-guide takes care of the route while adding stories about the buildings, films and people connected with the scenery. It is an easygoing way to see more of the park without turning the visit into a long walk or a cycling workout.
Expect a private pedicab for your party, with stops where you can get out for photographs and a closer look. Shorter rides focus on the southern park, while longer versions can reach more of its bridges, terraces and northern landmarks. Bethesda Terrace, the lakeside scenery and well-known film locations give the tour its appeal, but the actual stops depend on the length and route you choose.
Choose a one-, two- or three-hour version to match your interest and pace, and allow a little extra time to find the meeting point near the park’s southern edge. Confirm the pickup address on the selected booking because nearby operators meet on different blocks. The ride usually returns to its meeting area; larger parties may travel in several pedicabs together.
2 expert tips
Original curator notes · check current details.
Choose a longer ride if you want time to get out at several landmarks rather than mainly see them as you pass. A short ride can feel hurried when photographs and a proper look around Bethesda Terrace matter to you.
Bring a warm outer layer in cool weather, even when the driver supplies a blanket. You are sitting still in an open vehicle for much of the visit, and comfortable shoes are useful for the photo stops.
