Central Park Film and TV Locations Walking Tour
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
New York CityPlenty of the Central Park you think you know comes from a screen. This two-hour walk with On Location Tours covers more than 30 spots where films and TV shows were shot, and the guides are local actors who hold up stills from each scene on the exact patch of ground where it was filmed. The stops include Wollman Rink, Bow Bridge, the Carousel, the Naumburg Bandshell and Strawberry Fields. The titles attached to them run through Serendipity, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Avengers, When Harry Met Sally, Ghostbusters and Sex and the City, with some park history dropped in between scenes. It works for film fans, and it also works as a first look at the park if you would rather not plan a route yourself. The pace is relaxed and suits all fitness levels, with a few quick step-off points along the way. Strollers are fine. The live commentary is in English. Spanish, French and German audio translations are free through the VoiceMap app; download it before you arrive. Groups are capped at 35 people, and one booking covers up to 15. The tour runs in all weather, so dress for the day and wear comfortable shoes. Food, drinks and gratuities are not included.
