Central Park TV & Movie Sites

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.

If you know a lot about movies, this is the tour for you. The guide was fun, the walking is rather fast, and New York is hot in June. We pretty much covered the lower half of Central Park and still had fun. I will say it wasn't as much fun as the Sex in the City Tour, but we enjoyed it. Bring a camera; the guide will take your picture at many of the movie locations. It's a good time to get a picture of your whole group without having to ask a stranger.

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!

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable of all movies filmed in Central Park. We had a wonderful time and were able to see many parts of the park that we may have missed if we had gone on our own! I would VERY STRONGLY reccommend it to anyone who wants to have a good time and who has a love for movies!

Our tour guide was Kimberly. She was full of energy and very easy to talk to. She offered to take pictures during the tour which was really nice we did not have to stop other people and ask them to take our pictures. Even though not very important to us, her knowledge of the movie locations was also very extensive. We took the tour in order to see Cenral Park, and Kimberly did a very good job of guiding us through the park, and along the way telling us all the movie trivia associated with Central Park. We thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hour tour.

I took my friend on the tour while she was here visiting. The tour guide was great and you get to see alot of the park. Alot of the movies mentioned were either really old or obscure. It's a fun way to see the park but, don't expect to recognize alot of it from movies you have actually seen.

On our trips to New York, we only visited Central Park once. We decided to take the movie tour to see parts of the park. Not only did we visit movie sites but we were also given some history of the park. We didn't realize how much of the park we had missed. If you are wanting to visit Central Park, this is a fantastic way to do it.

I thoroughly recommend the Central Park Movie Tour. We had a great guide whose enthusiasm and love of movies made the tour hugely enjoyable. It was also great exercise as in the 2 hours allotted you cover a lot of ground. All in all a great perspective of New York and 2 hours well spent!

Touring Central Park was better than great, and it was much more beautiful than I had imagined. The factual TV and movie location information was very interesting. Our tour guide was wonderful and respectful of participants' desire to spend time to really take in the sites. The landmarks seen during this tour are perfect backdrops for shooting great New York City photos. Overall, a great experience and one that I will never forget. I will definitely register for another one of the On Location tours the next that I decide to visit NYC.

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.
