Cần Quan Tâm
We start off with the history of the park including the designers, why the park was built, when it was built, how it was built. We'll start the walk along the path and the rolling terrain of The Pool area. You'll also visit the secret Grotto waterfall and understand its purpose...........Keep in mind that there are many SECRET PLACES that are not listed here!
As we leave the Pool area, you'll walk through this sensational stone arch designed in the 1860s. Nothing prepares you for the scenery that you'll see when you pass through this high arch.

Highly recommended tour to visit the hidden gems of the Central Park

5.00After a wonderful Saturday afternoon on Bruce’s “Hamilton & Washington” walking tour, I eagerly anticipated his “Central Park: Secret Places” tour—and I was delighted that I joined. While many walking tours concentrate on the southern edge of Central Park, this experience highlights the northern edge, a more naturalistic and often overlooked part of this historic park. It was eye‑opening to learn about the park’s lesser‑known history while discovering hidden gems such as the Huddlestone Arch and the granite bench dedicated to Andrew Haswell Green. This tour is highly recommended for anyone seeking a more serene side of the city, a chance to step away from the daily hustle, and the opportunity to enjoy rich historical narratives delivered by a professional historian.
Bruce is the best tour guide!

5.00I am a first time tour goer! I was reluctant as I even a resident NY'er. This was recommended to me by a huge NYC tour friend, and she was 100 percent correct. I have learned- Bruce is no ordinary tour guide. He is super enthusiastic, super knowledgable, kind and fun! I love Nature, and he blended the history with the "secret tips " of NY's Central Park. There was so much I did not know. This is fun for dates, families, solo people. We had the kindest group where we all got to know each other a bit. A secret tip about your tour guide- when Jimmy Fallon wants a private tour of this family, he requests Bruce. That should give you an idea. This is no ordinary experience. You leave with little gifts, both literally and spirtually!
Bruce schists!

5.00We began our 10-day trip to NYC with a noon tour of Secret Places of Central Park with Bruce. It was the perfect introduction to the park and the city itself. The tour was endlessly fascinating. Bruce is a historian by training and a lifelong New Yorker—his passion for the park was infectious. The tour grounded our stay—we made a couple trips back to Central Park simply to "unbend the mind" and experience nature (or, as Bruce pointed out many times, "natural-ISM"). Through the tour I've come to view the park as a national treasure. If New York is the big apple, the park is its core. Bruce's knowledge of the park is encyclopedic, but his presentation was always easy-going and entertaining. Bruce rocks (or, more appropriately, schists)!
Educational, beautiful, and lots movement!

5.00Bruce is a great, knowledgeable tour guide. The hike through upper Central Park was amazing and full of historical background that we never could have learned on our own.
Interesting and Enjoyable

5.00A wonderful way to explore the less-travelled north 20% of Central Park, An adventure through woods, up hills and down, by creeks where children were playing. Be prepared for with good walking shoes and water on a hot day. You'll get a lot of steps in (I got 13,000) and a lot of beauty An outstanding experience,leading us to places we've never seen, despite being locals. Whether we'd seen them before or not, we know a lot more now than we did before. Bruce is a seasoned guide, a true professional with a delightful manner.
Bruce was knowledgeable,...
