Things You Should See and Do When In New York

Explore Central Park

Sprawling over three and a half square kilometers, Central Park brings a lush greenness to a very concrete Manhattan. Filled with gardens and meadows, lakes and fountains, beautiful architecture and meandering walkways, Central Park is a joy to explore, whatever the season.

Try your hand at catch and release fishing at the Meer through the Dana Discovery Center, or rent a rowboat from the Loeb Boathouse. During summer, check out a production at the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theater, or during winter, go ice skating at the Wollman or Lasker rinks.

Fancy taking a tour? See more of Central Park by taking a horse and carriage tour, a bike tour or a pedicab tour. Don't miss the Bethesda Fountain, the Conservatory Garden and the Central Park Zoo & Wildlife Center!

Experience Times Square

Big and bright, loud and flashy, Times Square is lit up like Christmas, all year round.

Go Up the Empire State Building
