Central Park

Landscape Full day difficulty: Easy with kids: yes

A 340-hectare rectangle of woods, lakes and meadows right in the heart of Manhattan, with skyscrapers peeking over the trees. It's the city's playground: squirrels, rowboats, skaters and street musicians at every turn.

The pop wink

Central Park is the setting of countless movies your kids know: the pigeon and the hotel from «Home Alone 2», the fountain from «Enchanted», the museum from «Night at the Museum». Recognizing a corner from a movie is half the fun of the walk.

With kids

Feeding the tame squirrels by hand near the paths
Renting a rowboat and gliding across the lake with the skyscrapers behind
Looking for the Alice in Wonderland statue and climbing on it
Skating or running along the paths closed to cars

Accessibility: All ages; there are playgrounds spread all across the park

With family

Spreading a blanket on Sheep Meadow and having a picnic with a view of the skyline
Crossing Bow Bridge like in the movies and looking for turtles in the water
Listening to the street musicians playing under the trees
Recognizing together the places that appear in movies and shows you've watched
