Escape the hustle and bustle of New York City…right in the heart of Manhattan! Explore Central Park with a local expert who will share the tales, historical landmarks, and natural splendor hidden in this metropolitan oasis.
Your tour guide will enlighten you with the park’s history as a bustling village of African Americans and immigrants, and their subsequent removal during the development of the landscape we now see. Although traces of this village have disappeared, we’ll visit other historical edifices such as the stunning Bethesda Terrace and the Women’s Rights Pioneers Monument.
Our jaunt through Central Park will take us by renowned pieces of art including notable literary busts beneath the majestic trees of The Mall, and the mosaic-clad Strawberry Fields circle, a homage to singer-activist John Lennon.
As we marvel at various plant and animal species surrounding The Lake and its photogenic Bow Bridge, you’ll conclude the tour content in the knowledge that your ticket has played a crucial role in conservation education!
