Central Park Walking Guide NYC

I was a little skeptical to pay for the full tour at first but I’m so glad we did! It was so interesting and engaging. We really appreciated that we could pause the tour to make additional stops or have lunch. It started pouring rain on #38 but we were having so much fun we persevered til the end! There were 42 different stops! Thanks for a great day, we loved it. I wish we had time for the other tours too, but we’ll save those til our next adventure!

The tour is long (3+ hours) but worth it. The park is HUGE, don’t expect to do it quickly in an hour when you’re there for a weekend.... plan to spend three hours. The tour does only the south half of the park but we felt that was more than enough. That’s where all the highlights are, including The Mall Walk and the memorial for Lennon. My only recommendation is that you review the app’s map carefully before you go... that way, you can figure out if you want to skip something (helpful if you don’t have three hours and want to use one of the shortcut routes).

The park is huge and I was a little overwhelmed. Once I found this App, it made it easy to cover all the highlights. I walked at my own pace, taking a lot of rest stops and never felt pressured to keep up with a group. Well done!
