Most people come to New York City with a plan. They walk the busy streets, see Times Square, and explore Central Park on foot. But often, they leave without experiencing the park the way it was meant to be seen. Walking is tiring. Bike rides are rushed. And crowded tours don’t give you space to enjoy the quiet side of the park.
This is where we come in. At Top Hat NY Horse & Carriage, we give you more than just a tour. We give you a memory. A central park horse carriage ride with us is not just about moving through the park. It’s about enjoying it at your own pace, in comfort, with care, and with the charm of a tradition that has lasted for over 20 years.

Why Our Carriage Rides Are Different
Central Park is big. Over 840 acres of paths, bridges, fountains, and open spaces. Without guidance, you miss the hidden beauty. Our drivers know the park better than anyone. We take you along routes that show both famous landmarks and quiet corners. From Bethesda Fountain to Bow Bridge, we make sure you don’t just see the park, you feel its magic.
And you’ll know you’ve found us when you see the horses wearing their signature top hats. It’s a symbol of our family-operated business and the special touch we bring to every ride.
Designed for Every Occasion
People choose our rides for many reasons. Couples book with us for anniversaries, proposals, or just a romantic evening. Families love it because the ride feels magical for children and relaxing for parents. Tourists choose it because it captures the real New York in a way that walking tours never can.
We also offer seasonal rides. During Christmas, our carriages sparkle with festive touches and warm blankets. In spring, the park comes alive with flowers, and we make sure you see the best of it. Every season has its charm, and we help you experience it in style.
More than Just a Ride
What makes our rides special is the personal attention. We listen to what you want. Some guests enjoy hearing stories and history about the park. Others prefer quiet moments with only the sound of hooves. We adapt the ride to your mood.
Every detail is cared for. From the way the horses are groomed to how the carriages are decorated, we want you to feel that your ride is meant just for you. That is why so many guests return and bring friends or family the next time they visit New York.
Our Horses Are Family
Our horses are the heart of what we do. We care for them every single day. They have regulated hours, spacious stables, and regular check-ups. Their health and happiness come first.
Our lead horse, Silver, is loved by many of our guests. His calm nature and graceful stride make rides with him unforgettable. When people come back for another ride, many ask for him by name. That bond between horse and guest is what makes the experience so personal.
Safe, Licensed, and Trusted
We follow New York City’s strict rules for horse-drawn carriages. That means you can enjoy your ride knowing it’s safe, regulated, and run by professionals. Our drivers are licensed and experienced. Every step of your journey is handled with care, so you can relax and focus on the moment.
