A Private Pedicab From 58th Street to Bow Bridge
A guide pedals your party into Central Park's southern half, with photo stops at Gapstow Bridge, Bethesda Terrace and Bow Bridge.
Central Park covers 843 acres, and this ride takes on its southern half from the bench of a pedicab. The guide sits up front and does the pedaling. Your party sits behind and looks around.
The booking is private, so nobody outside your party shares the ride. The one-hour option is the shortest on the listing. A 90-minute and a two-hour version leave from the same corner and add stops.
Rides start one block south of the park, at 58th Street and Sixth Avenue.
The listing below sells all three lengths, priced per person. The one-hour ride is the least expensive of the three, and children aged 1 to 16 pay a slightly lower rate than adults.

The listing's itinerary for the hour names five stops. It runs from Wollman Rink to Gapstow Bridge, the stone bridge over the Pond in the park's southeast corner. Bethesda Terrace and Bow Bridge, the cast-iron span over the Lake, get seven minutes each. As of October 14, 2026, the Central Park Conservancy has Bethesda Fountain switched off for a restoration that began in August; the terrace itself stays open. Strawberry Fields, the John Lennon memorial, closes the list. The carousel, the Dairy and the Central Park Zoo go by without a stop.
Those five stops add up to 29 of the 60 minutes; the rest is riding. The operator's own page for its one-hour ride counts four stops, one fewer than the listing. It also describes the ride as tailored to your interests, so name the stop you care about most at the start.
The Guide Pedals, Talks and Takes the Photos
The person pedaling is also your guide and your photographer, and photos at the stops are part of the booking. Commentary runs in English, Spanish or French, the three languages named by both the listing and the operator. The operator's one-hour page lists film locations from Home Alone 2, Elf and When Harry Met Sally among the sights. Two riders, in 2021 and 2026, felt the film and celebrity talk took up too much of the ride. A few riders also noted that traffic and wind can make chatter hard to catch on the move. Save your longer questions for the photo stops, when the bike is standing still.
Two to Book, Three at Most per Pedicab
Every booking needs at least two travelers. The listing says so in its notes, and the operator's own booking system will not take a party of one. A solo traveler cannot book this ride alone.
City rules allow no more than three passengers in a pedicab, so larger parties ride in two. Riders in groups of five and six have written about touring that way. Pricing is per person, with the child rate covering ages 1 to 16 and the adult rate starting at 17, and the listing asks that infants ride on an adult's lap. Riders traveling with an older parent wrote that guides helped them on and off the bench at the stops.
Rain Covers, Blankets and the Weather Clause
The operator says its pedicabs carry rain covers and that it offers flexible rescheduling. Riders on wet and frigid days, from December 2023 through October 2026, wrote about staying covered in heavy rain and being tucked under a blanket. The listing can still cancel a ride for poor weather, and a weather cancellation comes with another date or a full refund.
