Everything you need to know to have the best experience in the greatest park in the world. At 843 acres (2.5 miles x 0.5 miles), you NEED a guide.

I have been that friend for countless tourists (as a local AirBNB host) and to millions of viewers on YouTube (my Central Park videos have accumulated over 1.6 million views). Let me be your guide. I have literally spent years exploring every part of Central Park, and I love sharing it with others. I'm putting all of my knowledge, recommendations, and experience into this guide. What's Included: 📝 Resources (maps to help you find bathrooms, food, drinking fountains, etc.) 🤩 Top things to do and see in each part of the Park (Create easy itineraries from my recommendations) 📓 Interesting info and personal experiences for each spot ✍️ Tips and recommendations for the best Central Park experience You can spend hours researching everything on your own and still not be sure if you're missing something amazing. Or you can download this guide and instantly feel confident that you'll be able to see and do everything you want. Central Park is incredible if you know what you're doing. It's frustratingly too big if you don't.
