About NYC: Private Tour Secrets of Central Park Day Tours

Central Park spans over 800 acres, so visitors should wear comfortable walking shoes suitable for uneven terrain and varying weather conditions. Private tours typically require meeting the guide at a designated entrance or landmark, making it advisable to confirm the exact meeting point and arrive early. The park is open year-round from 6:00 AM to 1:00 AM, though specific attractions and restrooms within the grounds may have different operating hours.

Central Park Zoo is located in Central Park, which can be divided into sea lion show area, polar circle area and tropical rain forest area. Among them, the sea lion performance area is more popular. Although the zoo is not big, it is located in Central Park, but it is very suitable for bringing children to play. As soon as you enter the zoo, you can see sea lions playing in the glass pool. Feeding at different times every day, the staff will walk into the pool and throw the small fish in the bucket to the sea lions. However, you can see that the huge sea lions catch each fish sensitively. In the polar circle area, you can also see little penguins living in the simulated arctic circle. They pat their short feet cutely, and they are very popular with children. The biggest selling point in the polar circle is the polar bear. The snow-white polar bear walks between the simulated valley and flowing water, and you can watch it through the glass. In the tropical rain forest area, there is a small tropical rain forest, where various tropical plants and flowers are planted, and there are signs to let you know about these plants and flowers.
