Silver Tour: Extended Central Park Carriage Ride

55-Minute Silver Tour • Up to 4 adults • 55 minutes • Family-owned since 1999

About this tour

The 55-minute Silver Tour is the full southern Central Park experience at a relaxed pace. Two guaranteed photo stops, bottled water, and a longer route that continues along the Lake to Cherry Hill and Bow Bridge — landscapes the shorter tours skip. It's our most popular pick for anniversaries and for couples looking for something romantic without stepping up to the 65-minute Royal Tour.

The 55-minute Silver Tour extends the southern park ride with the Balto statue, SummerStage, Conservatory Water and the Boathouse area. Two photo stops are included: the Bethesda Terrace area and Cherry Hill. Other highlights include Bethesda Fountain, the Bandshell, the Lake, Sheep Meadow, Tavern on the Green and Columbus Circle. Cherry Hill offers views toward Bow Bridge; the carriage does not cross the pedestrian bridge. Silver does not promise a drive through the Ramble or a stop at Wagner Cove. Choose this route for two different photo settings without the Strawberry Fields extension of Royal.
