Grandparents often want Central Park without negotiating every path intersection. A private carriage keeps the party together and seated. Choose Mini if mobility or patience is tight. Choose Elite or the about-60-minute Park & City tour when the park is the day’s main outing. Boarding still happens from the sidewalk at Central Park South — mention mobility needs when you reserve.
Comfort notes
Blankets in cooler months, shade in summer, and a pace that is not a walking tour. Restrooms are not onboard; plan before you meet the carriage. See family rides.
Landmarks that photograph well from a seat
The Mall, Bethesda Terrace, and lake views. Bow Bridge requires a package that lists it. Do not promise a zoo stop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the carriage wheelchair accessible?
Carriages are historic-style vehicles boarded from the curb. Describe mobility needs when booking so the team can advise honestly.
Should we split into two carriages?
If seating will be cramped, yes — book a second private carriage for the same time.
