About this experience

Discover Central Park, by bike with this affordable bike rental. The beauty of Central Park’s design is whether you have an hour or a full day, starting at 59th street (Columbus Circle), there are countless attractions like the magical carousel, Alice in Wonderland Sculpture, and Lake (think Stuart Little). The Dairy and Balto statue too and if you have time, stop and play a game at the chess and checker’s house. The famous Bethesda Fountain seen in hundreds of movies, the literary walk with statues of literary giants, and Strawberry Fields are close to one another, and all are just in the lower half of the park and perfectly doable in an hour. Beyond 72nd Street all the way to 110th, there is so much more and with a little more time, you can make the full five-mile circle! In the warm weather enjoy a carousel ride or picnic in Sheep Meadow and in the winter. A spin around the ice-skating rink. We provide a Central Park map so that you can chart your own path in your own time.
