Central Park

We spent a lot of time exploring the many areas and scenery that make up Central Park. We spent virtually 2 days exploring and traversing the park. There is so much to see and enjoy. Our 2 favorite New York museums, Museum of Natural History and Metropolitan Museum of Art, flank each side of the park. We also enjoyed visiting the Central Park Zoo. The park is so incredibly diverse with activities such as concerts, baseball, biking, playing chess, boating, sunbathing, strolling birdwatching etc etc. It seems there is an activity for everyone to enjoy. Definitely a do not miss experience when you visit.


The Central Park experience is not complete without a boatride on the pond.



September was a gorgeous time in Central Park. We especially enjoyed Shakespeare's Garden with the many butterflies and bees hovering around. They were very photogenic.

Famous bridge over "The Pond". Great spot to sit on a bench and take it all in.



Great shot of the Boat House, a very nice restaurant, with rental boats seen in the foreground.
