Take a Walk in the Wintry Central Park
Park
in
Midtown Manhattan
Our Highlight
Central Park should not be missing from any Things to Do in New York in January! The green lung of the city turns into a true winter wonderland during the cold season. It is therefore also a popular destination for New Yorkers. Stroll through the park under snow-covered trees and let yourself be enchanted by the play of lights on the frozen water surfaces in the evening.
Walking through Central Park in the cold is magical! If there’s snow, it’s even more amazing.
If you want to be more adventurous, start in Harlem and walk down Central Park towards Midtown. Too often we catch ourselves starting on Fifth Avenue at the Plaza Hotel in Central Park. There is so much more to explore than just that part of Central Park.
Did you know that activism plays an important role in Central Park or that there are 17 pine tree species in the city’s green lung? Have you ever asked yourself how the big rocks in the park were formed?
If you want to learn more about the variety of pine trees, the geology or the history of activism in Central Park, you can join a guided tour.
The Central Park Conservancy offers different walking tours throughout January.
