What To Expect

Central Park
Are you an eager explorer wondering how much time should you spend in Central Park and what to see?

Over 42 million people visit the park each year, so it depends upon what you want. Are you active and want to ice skate, bike, jog, rent a rowboat, roller blade, take a salsa dance lesson? Perhaps a leisurely stroll with binoculars for bird watching, listen to a jazz ensemble, to classical quartets, to opera or country singers.

Hear stories about the history of the origin and creation of the park, discover famous and little-known secrets and the special events that have occurred in the park over the years, including famous movie and TV locations. Next, together, we’ll explore the park from its southern to northern edges stopping at the highlights along the way to hear the stories about them.

At the end of our visit, you will know how much time to plan to stay there.
