Tour Itinerary & Highlights
Note: This is a suggested itinerary – we can customize based on your preferences.
- Your Central Park Fun Day begins with your private driver picking you up in a luxury vehicle to take you to your first stop – the American Museum of Natural History.
- At the American Museum of Natural History, you’ll meet up with your BTSQ private tour guide who will introduce you to museum must-sees and highlights. These highlights may include the Dinosaur Lab, the Gem and Mineral Hall, the Rose Center for Earth and Space and the Age of Mammals.
- Once your museum adventure is complete it’s on to your private walking tour of world-famous Central Park. Here your expert tour guide will introduce you to hidden gems as well as well-known spots in the park. Possible stops include Bethesda Fountain, Strawberry Fields, Belvedere Castle and the Central Park Carousel – just to name a few!
- By now you’re sure to have worked up an appetite but no worries – your guided tour includes a gourmet Central Park picnic. This delicious meal will consist of assorted baguette sandwiches, local cheese platters, salads, crudité, local sweet treats and bottled water.
- And no worries – should the weather not cooperate with a picnic lunch, a substitute for the outdoor picnic will be offered!
- After lunch it’s time to see all the park offers in a different way! You can choose to add some wellness to this package by pedaling around the park via a bike tour, you can have someone else do the pedaling for you on a pedicab tour or you can just sit back and relax in a horse carriage ride.
