Bethesda Fountain

The Bethesda Fountain, the gorgeous focal point of the Bethesda Terrace, is one of the largest fountains in New York, measuring twenty-six feet high by ninety-six feet wide. It is one of the most well known fountains in the world, and the statue at its center was the only sculpture to have been commissioned as a part of Central Park's original design. This neoclassical sculpture, also known as Angel of the Waters, features an eight-foot bronze angel who stands above four small cherubim representing health, purity, temperance, and peace. The angel herself carries a lily in one hand while the other remains outstretched, poised in the action of delivering a blessing on the water pouring from around her feet and into the basin at the bottom of the fountain. This is to commemorate the 1842 opening of the Croton Aqueduct, which supplied New York City with fresh water.

Was a classic thing that one must do while in NY. Alex and his house Fantasy were awesome and full of information. My teens even enjoyed the tour!

Im only giving it 1 star because i need to to review it. It was something i looked forward to on my trip here but my guide spent most of the time on his phone. A friend told me her guide talked about the city. Mine didnt talk very much. During the ride, something happened to the horse. I think he got hurt and the driver didnt stop to check. The carriage tiped forward almost knocking the horse down. Those horse already carry enough weight as it is. It was such a horrible experience, i wish i cpuld get my money back. My driver only stopped to take one picture in one location. I hardly got enough time to take pictures. My friends guide stopped to let them take many pictures. However, central park was very nice, at least from what i was able to see.

We had such a wonderful experience! We went in the early evening when it had cooled down and the ride was just perfect. Peaceful and relaxing but packed with tons of great facts about the park. Our “host” was so kind to us and is fantastic with kids. Hands down one of the best parts of our visit to the city! We will 100% be booking another ride next time we are in town :)
