Central Park landmarks

A visitor guide to the Central Park places most often associated with horse carriage rides — including which stops appear on shorter versus longer loops.

Classic Central Park carriage loops travel the southern and mid-park landscape. Shorter rides typically include The Mall and Bethesda Terrace. Longer packages may reach Bow Bridge, Cherry Hill, the Lake, Strawberry Fields, and other west-side landmarks. Exact stops depend on the package you book.

Bethesda Terrace

The ceremonial heart of mid-south Central Park — and a stop on almost every carriage package.

Bow Bridge

The cast-iron bridge over the Lake — included on longer carriage packages, not the Mini Tour.

The Mall

The elm-lined walk that leads to Bethesda Terrace — part of even the shortest carriage loop.

Strawberry Fields

The west-side memorial landscape at 72nd Street — stop 15 on the full classic loop.

Sheep Meadow

A large southern lawn with skyline backdrop, on the classic loop list.

Wollman Rink

The southern rink landscape — stop 1 on the classic carriage loop.

Central Park Zoo

A southeastern park attraction that is nearby — not listed as a carriage stop.

Belvedere Castle

A mid-park lookout mentioned among landmarks on longer carriage packages.

Columbus Circle

The southwest gateway to the park and a landmark on the classic loop — also how many visitors approach the meeting area.
