What travellers are saying
- BrennaProvince of Leinster, Ireland129 contributionsCentral Park is definitely worth a visit when visiting New York. It does fall lend itself to being one of the city's most famous attractions, but it is worth it to escape some of the hustle and bustle of the city itself. We visited in December/January and it was lovely to stroll around the park in the fresh, crisp air. There are plenty of people but due to it's vast size and numerous activities there is no element of it that is considered "too busy". Stroll through the park, rent a bicycle, or take a horse drawn carriage tour around to view the various sites such as Strawberry Fields, Bow Bridge or Bethesda Terrace. It’s an amazing place to walk around and explore.Written January 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karen J1 contributionOur family visit to The Metropolitan Museum of Art was unforgettable! The vast collection, from ancient artifacts to modern masterpieces, amazed us all. The kids loved the Egyptian exhibit, and we were inspired by the European paintings. A perfect mix of education and fun!Written January 10, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SJPDSUK41 contributionsSo pleased we did this. Such a great and different view of New York.

- Sherwood CNew York City, NY6 contributionsWe marveled at the stunning outdoor viewing decks, soaking in panoramic city views. The historical artifacts added a unique touch to our experience. Plus, the private event space looked perfect for celebrations. A must-visitWritten December 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stefan VargaMalta312 contributionsA beautiful day out especially if the weather is nice, I recommend you spend half a day or longer as there’s lots to do and see.
If you are looking to do crown tour make sure you book far in advance as the tickets are hard to come by.Written January 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had plans on being in Times Square for the dropping of the ball but I didn't last that long. It was our first time in New York and I really had a great time seeing the yellow cabbies riding the subway getting pizza same Time Square for the first time while they set up on the street. And it was very safe and secure there were cops everywhere and they were stopping people to see what business they had in the area so you know that you were protected. Because they literally ask you for proof of your business in that area. Great job New York City Police. Very fun and festive during the New Year time no strange incidents lots of photo ops lots of good food everywhere. My favorite place in that area was a place called Rize, my adult and teenage kids loved it. It's near Times Square I believe it's on 42nd Street. Anyway it's an attraction and it will virtually show you the state of New York within your tour and it has a very nice ride you'll have to go to see it.Written January 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ItchyFeetCamarillo, CA11,798 contributionsWe stopped to see the Grand Central Station as we were wandering around New York City. We were in the Big Apple for Christmas and went to see what kind of Christmas decorations they have.
We wandered around a little bit and saw the large underground shopping area as well as the main area where I took photos and we also had an early dinner at the restaurant by the main entrance, Grand Brasserie which was good, yet NY expensive.Written January 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We saw it as we were driving from one end of Manhattan to the other and it’s worth while at least driving by if you don’t have time to spend more time walking across the bridge.Written January 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robyn DeverettToronto, Canada174 contributionsThis market was kind of awesome. Lots of food and stores to choose from; you’re only limited by your imagination…and debatably your wallet.
I’m a fan of Miznon, and I loved the seating options in the Chelsea Market location.
I also am a sucker for halva, and thoroughly enjoyed my raspberry halva slice from Seed + Mill.
