Central Park Family Tour

A relaxed Central Park pedicab ride with kids past the Zoo, Balto, Alice in Wonderland and the vintage Carousel — easy on grown-ups and fun for the little ones.

The Easiest Way to Explore the Park with Kids

Little legs get tired fast, and the park is huge. Our Central Park family tour lets everyone ride together while a local guide pedals you between the most beloved kid-friendly landmarks — no strollers to push uphill, no missed nap times, just the best of Central Park at a happy pace.

The Route

Family Favorites on a Central Park Pedicab Ride with Kids

The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir with its fountain and the twin towers of the Eldorado, passed on the full Central Park loop
STOP 01

Central Park Zoo

Watch the sea lions splash at feeding time, spot the penguins, and catch the bronze animals of the Delacorte Clock dancing on the half hour.

STOP 02

Balto the Sled Dog

The famous bronze statue of the heroic sled dog — a favorite photo stop and a wonderful little story to tell the kids as you roll by.

The Alice in Wonderland statue, a stop on a Central Park pedicab ride with kids
STOP 03

Alice in Wonderland

The giant bronze mushroom sculpture kids are actually allowed to climb — Alice, the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit all waiting to be discovered.

Belvedere Castle reflected in Turtle Pond, Central Park
STOP 04

The Carousel

One of the largest vintage carousels in the country, with 57 hand-carved horses — an optional ride that always lights up young faces.

Bethesda Fountain and the Angel of the Waters statue in Central Park
STOP 05

Bridges & Bethesda Terrace

Roll to Bethesda Terrace and up to the storybook Bow Bridge — postcard views your family will remember long after the ride. The fountain itself is fenced off for restoration until about late summer 2027.

Good to Know

Central Park Family Tour FAQ

Yes. Our pedicabs have a cushioned bench, a safety strap and a shade canopy, and your guide keeps a gentle, steady pace. Families with toddlers and grandparents ride with us every day.

Rides typically run 30 to 90 minutes and are fully flexible. Tell your guide which landmarks matter most — the Zoo, Alice in Wonderland, the Carousel — and they will build the route around your family.

Each pedicab seats up to three guests: three adults, or two adults and one child. Larger families are easy to accommodate with an extra pedicab riding alongside.

Family rides start at $25 per person (adults and children). A 6% online booking fee is added at checkout. Our pricing page lists every ride, and you see the complete total before you pay, so the price does not change once you are seated.

Give Your Family a Central Park Memory

Let the pedicab cover the distance while the kids wave at everything. Choose a ride length and see the full price before you pay.

Dill gave us the most Central Park tour! He was extremely knowledgeable, kind and took the best pictures of us. He had a lovely blanket which made the ride very comfortable as it was chilly today. Can only recommend. Thank you, Dill for this great time!

Shah and Abos were so amazing!!!! They were so knowledgeable about all of the central Park features and even had clips from movies to show our kids so they knew exactly where they were and what they were experiencing. They were always willing to hop in and take pictures of our group and make sure that everyone was enjoying themselves. We would absolutely come back to Central Park and enjoy a pedicab tour with these two!!!!
