Pricing

$194.99 buys the whole carriage, not a seat in one. Each carriage takes up to 4 adults; with children 12 and under the seating can be 3 adults and 2 children, 2 adults and 4 children, or 1 adult and 6 children. There is no late-hour surcharge — the fare is identical on every date this ride runs.

Who this tour is for

Guests who have already done Central Park and want the other half of Manhattan; couples building an evening around a late dinner; visitors staying in Midtown who would rather look at Fifth Avenue than at a meadow. It is the wrong booking if you are travelling with small children who will be asleep by nine, if you want a daytime ride, or if Central Park itself is the reason you wanted a carriage — you are inside the park for only a few minutes of this one.
