NYC Night Horse Carriage Ride

65-Minute Rockefeller Royal Lights Ride • Up to 4 adults • 65 minutes • Family-owned since 1999

About this tour

The Rockefeller Royal Lights Ride is our evening signature — a 65-minute ride that combines Central Park after dark with Fifth Avenue and the lights of Rockefeller Center. It runs January 10 – November 20; during the Christmas season (November 21 – January 9) our Christmas tours take over this route past the illuminated skating rink and holiday tree.

The 65-minute Rockefeller Royal Lights Ride combines a short southern Central Park section with the Midtown avenues. City highlights include the Plaza, Grand Army Plaza, Pulitzer Fountain, Fifth Avenue stores, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall, returning along Sixth Avenue. One photo stop is included; its location depends on traffic and access on the day. This is a park-and-city itinerary, not the complete daytime Royal park loop followed by an extra city tour. Select a departure shown on the booking calendar.
