Field Trips on Foot–Fall Cycle
How well do you know your park?
Children will go on walking field trips around Central Park to destinations like Turtle Pond, Belvedere Castle, Conservatory Garden, the North Woods, and maybe even the Carousel! Along the way, we will learn about the park’s natural life and some of its characters, like Balto the sled dog, Stuart Little’s boat race in Sailboat Pond, and the two children who hid in the Metropolitan Museum! Please note that there will be many walking in this class — often two or more miles. Children should be prepared for long walks and bring water and a snack.
