      It's one of the most depressing zoos ever. Beautiful, but depressing. They don't have polar bears anymore, haven't for around a decade. Lots of penguins tho. Sea lions, snow leopards, red pandas, grizzly bears, snakrs, monkeys, some other animals. He also missed the children's zoo, Victoria Gardens/Wolman Rink depending on the season, the castle, as well as a million other things. It's a huge park with a million things to do. Lived in NY my whole life and I haven't done it seem a lot of it.

    Jon, wonderful job with the video - many people miss out on the northern end of the park, which is amazing in its own way (as you explored). I wouldn't miss wandering in the North Woods (get that real forest feel in the big city), stopping by the Lasker Rink/Pool (depending on the time of year), the Mount (yes, CP/NYC's HUGE compost pile! I couldn't believe it), walking/running around the reservoir (which has its own incredible history), and of course, visiting the Balto statue near E 67th. Again, great work!

    Seeing some these places remind me of when I worked in the city, this park was the quiet place to go when you need that relaxing moment. Yes the roof top is the place it used to close at 9 or 10 pm it’s beautiful to see the lights around the park. Thank you keep working there’s the whole island of Manhattan that I must say there’s beauty and peaceful places to be there any moment.

I agree with a comment someone has already posted here, the outer path really is great for runners, my hubby and I run that route all the time and it's definitely one of the best in the city. I'm so happy that you mentioned the Conservatory gardens, being Italian myself, the Italian garden is one of my favourite spots in the park. Central Park is beautiful all year but I find it so gorgeous in the fall/winter when there are orange and red leaves everywhere 🍂🍁🗽

    My favorite thing to do in Central Park is the row boats. Sometimes I’ll even go all by myself. I also used to enjoy riding my bike in Central Park, but the ride across the GWB started getting too crowded so I haven’t done that in a while. I also like spending time in the Central Park Zoo. It’s not the biggest or the fanciest zoo in the city, but I enjoy it. 😁

    I've never been to the roof at the Met. I've been to the boat pond, but haven't rented a boat. Instead, I took pictures of the boats. Most of the time when I visit Central Park, I just wandered aimlessly. It is how I have learned so much about it.

    Great video! We were there recently, and rented bikes thinking we could ride in the park, but you can't, just the outer roadways, so keep that in mind when visiting! We didn't get actually see much of the park, but what we did see was very nice!

    There are plenty of more things and your video will go for hours. But you did show places that are not covered by other videos of this magnificent park. I liked the way you presented all this places and please make episode 2 & 3 so you can cover more about it. Thanks for Your excellent video. 👍🏼

    The best part of Johns videos is that he highlights the price for everything. REAL NEW YORKERS DONT WANT TO SPEND MONKEY! Lol. Great video as usual.

    Awesome video! We spent the whole day in Central Park last week, absolutely beautiful, definitely stopped at strawberry fields and even sang some songs on the bench with Baron who is there everyday. Had a blast lol since I'm a huge John Lennon fan.

    15 and counting! Great ideas in your video: a few more:
    -- The beautiful bridges -- especially the Bow Bridge for the most beautiful views in the park over the lakes often filled with several couples rowing and the grand apartments of Central Park West, including the Dakota peering over the treetops.
    -- The Rambles which feels like a true forest that you can even get lost in, with hilly trails and beautiful views at every twist and turn.
    -- Seeing concerts of the NY Philharmonic on the Great Lawn, with 10s of thousands of people on the lawn with picnic baskets and bottles of wine soaking in the most beautiful music as the twilight sky becomes darker and darker and where you can actually see the stars right in the beating heart of NYC.
    -- Having lunch or dinner at the Boathouse Cafe or at Tavern on the Green, with their sublime settings, and quite good food.
    -- Taking in the breathtaking views from "The Pond", a smaller lake in the Southeast Corner of the park, framed by towering trees and the beautiful buildings of Central Park South gracefully rising above the tree tops and with the new soaring skyscrapers rising above those.
    -- Watching genuinely spectacular roller skaters just south of the overlook of Bethesda Fountain.
    -- The broad walkway along the east side of Sheep Meadow, with towering old trees lining the walkway.
    - Without Central Park, NYC would .be a different city entirely. It serves as the "back yard" for millions of people. Its the beating heart of the city -- its lush green Center, its very heart and soul.

    I heard you through the whispering bench, lol, & lmao at the re-enactment of riding the carousel. Last year, my husband, son, & I did the row boats & rented bikes & rode them around the entire park on an absolutely gorgeous day. We got so many perfect pics & had an amazing time; I hope I never forget that day as long as I live! 💖💝 I just love Central Park.. *sigh...

    About the Alice in Wonderland statue. There was a time when wealthy people contributed public art like sculptures, fountains, and other creations for all to enjoy. I admire and appreciate that spirit. I love Central Park. All I do is roam, walking from one end to the other without buying a thing. It's the best activity of all.
