FAQ

How Big is Central Park?

Central Park is 843 acres! It spans from 59th street in Midtown all the way to 110 street in Uptown and from 5th Ave on the east all the way to Central Park West. It is a very large public park and people visiting often forget how large the park is. If you want to walk around the entire park, make sure you plan for the entire day.

How long does it take to cycle around central park?

It takes approximately 2 hours to cycle around the entire park. That is of course for average cyclists. There are professional cyclists who can do the loop for less than 30 minutes. There are a few uphils in Central Park (mostly in the north park of the park) but generally it is fairly easy terrain.

How fit do I need to be for the bike tour?

An average level of experience is required, although beginner bikers and even kids are perfectly fine doing the 2 hour tour around the park. There might be 1 or 2 uphills where you can walk the bike if you feel tired. How many people will be on the tour: We like to keep our groups small and personal. There shouldn't be more than 8-10 people per group. You can also request a private group tour, if you have a larger group and would like to have a private tour.

How many stops are on the tour?

The bike tour includes more than 6 stops inside the park. Your tour guide will show you all sights in Central Park, including the hidden ones. The best thing is that after a brief explanation, you can take a short stroll while the guide stays with the bikes.
