Central Park TV & Movie Sites

The tour guide was so knowledgable! She didn't just list movies, but described scenes, explained the park, talked about the history... it was really enjoyable! :)

For those of you that have yet to visit New York's backyard, this is the tour to take. Although it only takes you up to half of the park, you still receive a lot of information and history. Now the next time I go back, I will pretty much know where I'm standing.

Bring your camera so you can share the pictures with friends and family. The tourist guide was willing to take pictures. The route is easy to walk.

Would recommend this guided tour to anyone who has no idea about what Central Park has to offer. This tour would appeal to movie and non-movie lovers alike. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and our guide, Kimberley, really knew her stuff ! There was ~ 2hrs of walking but in the brilliant sunshine who cared. Everyone in our group of ~ 15 people was given the opportunity to ask questions and take photographs. A "must do" activity to give you an overview of Central Park used in films and also about its creation.

This made an ordinary walk around the park far more interesting, I will now be looking out whenever I watch a movie set in NY. The huge range of movies meant that many were not familiar to me, but I will definately be booking other trips with you in the future.

She was very friendly and you could tell that she really loved New York.

See the sites of Central Park like you saw them in the movies. Wear comfortable shoes and bring your cameras. Our guide Kimberly explains the park's past as well as all the movies you have seen which includes the park and its particular locations. If you're visiting Central Park for the first time or have only wandered through it aimlessly, this tour will make you an expert on its various surrounding areas. Highly recommended and a nice chance to catch some natural settings within the concrete jungle.

I asked the representative if there was a discounted ticket price because I am disabled and use a power wheelchair. Most attractions offer half price for disabled. I was satisfied with the response that there was not a discounted fare and purchased two tickets - one for myself and one for my husband. Boy was I frustrated after we walked 20 minutes to the start location of the tour and then waited 30 minutes for the representative to arrive only to be told there are steps throughout the tour and I could not go. I wasted more than an hour of my vacation trip on this by the time the representative got someone on the phone who could give me a refund. I think you should know what you are selling!

Well, we did cover quite a bit of Central Park, and saw many movie locations, including the familiar Bethesda fountain (One Fine Day, Green Card, Ransom) and the Mall (Kramer vs Kramer). Also the ice skating rink from Serendipity. So, the tour does show you some of the movie sights which you might not recognize on your own, but, it was a little lightweight. The first two locations were recognizable from...Home Alone 2? Well, it didn't really give us confidence in what we were going to see, although the movies did eventually get a little less obscure (some I'd never heard of). There were many opportunities to have photographs taken (by the guide or on your own) - for me this was time wasted when we could have been seeing more, but it depends what you want from this trip. I don't need to pretend to be Macaulay Culkin with pigeons on my arms...but some seemed to like the opportunity. There was also a fifteen minute break at the carousel - which hasn't really featured in many (any?) movies due to it's being covered by a brick building. Yes, this gave time for a carousel ride, food stop or restroom break, but again, I felt I'd paid for a 1.5 hour tour and probably really only got a 45 minute tour, and 45 minutes of pauses. This is great if you don't want to over-exert yourself, but made for a not-completely satisfying tour. It was cool to see some of the more familiar locations, but a little more indepth knowledge of the more famous NY movies shot there would have been better. Or maybe there aren't any...I'll never know now... 7 out of 10. Good weather helps. Not bad, but could have been better.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Central Park Movie Location Tour which we recently undertook. Whether you are in to the movies that were mentioned, we weren't, or just want to enjoy the beautiful scenery and wonderful New York skyline back-drop as we did, there is something for everyone in this great tour. I'd recommend it to anyone.
