Conservatory Water

  • Address: East side of park, from E. 73rd to E. 75th Sts., Central Park, New York, NY | Map It

Fodor's Review:

The sophisticated model boats that sail this Renaissance Revival-style stone basin are raced each Saturday morning at 10, spring through fall. At the north end is the Alice in Wonderland statue; on the west side of the pond, a bronze statue of Hans Christian Andersen, the Ugly Duckling at his feet, is the site of storytelling hours on summer Saturdays at 11 AM. Model sailboats can be rented from a concession by the boat pond.

  • Subway: 6 to 77th St.
