Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Secret Places of Central Park tour?

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but I would say it's more suitable for teens and adults since some of the history might not resonate with younger kids. It's a walking tour, so older folks should be comfortable moving around Central Park. I did it with my 15-year-old, and he loved it!

Q: What should I wear for the Secret Places of Central Park tour?

A: Comfort is key! Wear comfortable shoes since you'll be doing quite a bit of walking and some 'hiking' parts. Dress in layers too, since it can get chilly in the shade even on warmer days. I went in the fall and it was perfect with a light jacket.

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up?

A: Yes! The tour provider is usually pretty flexible about rescheduling, but it's best to reach out to them as soon as you know you need to change your plans. Just keep in mind that they have a cancellation policy, so try to do it within their guidelines.

Just did the Secret Places of Central Park tour - wow!

I went on the Secret Places of Central Park tour last weekend and it blew my mind! Our guide was a total history buff and took us to spots I'd never seen before, like those Revolutionary War forts. The views from the Adirondack Mountains were stunning! I’m planning to gift this experience to my sister for her birthday. Has anyone done it during the winter? Any tips?

Thinking of gifting the Secret Places tour to my parents!

So I’m looking for a unique gift for my parents who love history. I found the Secret Places of Central Park tour and it seems perfect! Has anyone had experience with the small group size? I want to make sure they get the personal touch and not feel lost in a big crowd.
