Welcome to the Ramble, a magical woodland escape within the heart of Central Park! With winding paths, scenic views, and an abundance of wildlife, it's no wonder that the Ramble is a favorite among park-goers. This 36-acre woodland area is a haven for bird watchers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts alike.
The Ramble was designed to be a naturalistic woodland with rustic paths, glens, and open areas, a contrast to the formal, manicured landscapes elsewhere in the park. It was originally intended to be a rugged wilderness, a place where visitors could escape the hustle and bustle of the city and reconnect with nature.
Within the Ramble, you'll find streams, rock formations, and hidden waterfalls that create a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. If you're lucky, you might even spot some of the park's wildlife, such as chipmunks, raccoons, or turtles. In the spring and fall, the Ramble is a popular spot for bird-watchers, as migrating birds make their way through the park.
To fully experience the beauty of the Ramble, we recommend taking a leisurely stroll through its winding paths, or even a guided tour by bike or pedicab. Our bike and pedicab tours offer a unique perspective of the Ramble, as well as the opportunity to see other Central Park attractions like the Bethesda Terrace, Belvedere Castle, and the Shakespeare Garden.
So whether you're looking for a peaceful escape or an adventure in nature, the Ramble is a must-see attraction in Central Park. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience this magical woodland oasis!
