“It gets windy on the top floor, but otherwise a pretty decent pre-recorded audio tour. I did not have time to hop off, so it was just a 2 hour loop for me.”

2.Central Park Bike Rental

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 1,651 reviews · 1 hour · from $8Best value

Pick up a Trek or Giant bike just steps from Central Park and explore Bethesda Fountain, Strawberry Fields, the Reservoir, and more. Your rental includes a helmet, lock, and digital map, with child bikes, trailers, and tag alongs available. The one-hour rate is $8, and extra hours cost $10 each.

“Renting the bikes through the app was super cheap. We saved a lot of money taking into account that other places charge you minimum 15 dollars per hour. You can pay 12, have the bikes for 5 hours and be sure to have enough time to bike through Central Park and visit all the main places in there (since to those you need to walk)”
