Big Onion's Winter Solstice Tour

Meet at the northeast corner of 66th St and Central Park West.

Make the most of your limited daylight on the shortest day of the year: Take a tour of Central Park and learn about its history, which dates back to the original design by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1858. You'll learn about the rocking-chair riot and see sites including Sheep Meadow, Belvedere Castle, the Lake, the Ramble, Bow Bridge, Seneca Village and the Casino (which, we'll warn you, is deceptively named).
