The Easiest Way to Explore the Park with Kids

Little legs get tired fast, and the park is huge. Our Central Park family tour lets everyone ride together while a local guide pedals you between the most beloved kid-friendly landmarks — no strollers to push uphill, no missed nap times, just the best of Central Park at a happy pace.

The Route

Family Favorites on Your Central Park Family Tour

STOP 01

Central Park Zoo

Watch the sea lions splash at feeding time, spot the penguins, and catch the bronze animals of the Delacorte Clock dancing on the half hour.

STOP 02

Balto the Sled Dog

The famous bronze statue of the heroic sled dog — a favorite photo stop and a wonderful little story to tell the kids as you roll by.

STOP 03

Alice in Wonderland

The giant bronze mushroom sculpture kids are actually allowed to climb — Alice, the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit all waiting to be discovered.

STOP 04

The Carousel

One of the largest vintage carousels in the country, with 57 hand-carved horses — an optional ride that always lights up young faces.

STOP 05

Bridges & Fountains

Roll to Bethesda Fountain and across the storybook Bow Bridge — postcard views your family will remember long after the ride.
