Come dressed for the weather, bring your favorite people, and get ready to enjoy Central Park the way New Yorkers do: on your own terms. The park’s 843 acres contain something for every kind of visitor. With a Central Park audio tour, you can enjoy the park at your own pace while not missing any major destinations.
Central Park is 2.5 miles long and half a mile wide, and contains 843 acres of woodlands, landscaped gardens, grassy lawns, and recreational centers. The park was originally built in the mid-18th century as a place where wealthy New Yorkers could go for carriage rides in the country without actually having to leave the city. But it is now quite common to explore Central Park on foot via a walking tour.
New York requires that owners keep their dogs on a six-foot leash at all times in the park from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Dog owners gather for off-leash hours in dog-friendly areas from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
If you’re a first-time visitor, you won’t want to miss out on any of its main attractions, which are scattered throughout the massive park. And walking through the park to get to them is an experience of its own. A good walking tour of Central Park takes you on a journey through all the major destinations inside the park and keeps you on the scenic route.
