Carriage Rides from Upper West Side

What Should You Know About Upper West Side?

The Upper West Side is a beloved residential neighborhood stretching along the western edge of Central Park from Columbus Circle to 110th Street. Known for its tree-lined brownstone streets, world-class cultural institutions, and family-friendly atmosphere, it is home to the American Museum of Natural History, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and the New York Historical Society. Residents and visitors from the Upper West Side can easily reach our carriage pickup at 7th Avenue and 59th Street by taking the 1 train south to Columbus Circle (about 5 minutes from 72nd Street). Alternatively, enter Central Park at any west-side entrance and walk south through the park to reach our stand. The walk through the park itself is beautiful, passing Strawberry Fields, the Bethesda Terrace, and the Central Park Lake before arriving at our carriages.

What Is the Best Season for a Carriage Ride from Upper West Side?

Upper West Side residents especially enjoy fall carriage rides when the western side of Central Park displays peak foliage. Winter brings a quieter park experience with snow-covered landscapes. Spring is popular for families visiting the nearby Museum of Natural History before an afternoon ride. Summer evenings after Lincoln Center performances are a local favorite.

Tips for Visitors

If walking through the park, enter at 72nd Street and Central Park West (near Strawberry Fields). The walk south takes about 15 minutes and is scenic year-round. On weekends, Central Park's west-side paths are car-free, making the stroll even more enjoyable. You can also grab an Uber or Lyft for a 5-minute ride.
