A magical experience - On December 12, I and my son experienced an unforgettable Moonlight Ride through Central Park, organized by Top Hat NY Horse & Carriage. Initially, we considered canceling because of the condition of some carriages and horses we saw at Central Park. However, we discovered that these were not from Top Hat. In the end, we decided to go ahead with the ride anyway, and we did not regret it for a moment.
Our coachman, Omer, contacted us nicely in advance and was waiting for us with a beautifully decorated carriage, complete with festive Christmas decorations and a warm blanket for the cold evening. His horse looked fit and well cared for. Omer shared fascinating stories about the history of Central Park and the surrounding buildings. The highlight was a photo stop at Bethesda Terrace, where a guitarist played “Holy Night” on his acoustic guitar by a fire. This magical moment was truly priceless.
We are extremely grateful to Omer and his sweet horse and recommend everyone to make reservations at Top Hat. You won't see these carriages during the day, as they run by appointment. On our next visit to New York, we will definitely book another Moonlight Ride at Top Hat, hopefully again with Omer as our coachman.

Amazing guide with tons of fun facts - The guide was amazing and so knowledgeable. He knew every question we asked and had lots of interesting fun facts about the city. Central Park was beautiful and peaceful at night. The carriage cushions were so comfortable and the blankets warmed us up completely and were a very nice addition.

Night time trip - Firstly thank you to Top Hat NY our flight was cancelled less then 24hrs to our carriage ride but they kindly moved the day for us with no issue.
We arrived at the meeting point to what was a damp night in NY we where meet by our driver Paris who once checked in introduced us to Simba who had his rain coat on to keep the worst of the weather off….
Paris and Simba set off and explained what buildings within Central Park where when they were built and any interesting facts also pointing out where films had been made some famous and some not so much, we got photo opportunities along the way and overall had a great carriage ride.

Enjoyable Ride - Based on the email communication, it was a little difficult to initially find the meeting point. Once in carriage the driver shared stories, we moved at a pleasant pace while covered under a blanket, the driver took some photos of us, and returned in a timely manner.

Relaxing and peaceful! - This was a very nice ride for a family, and I think it would be very romantic for a couple. Overall,, we did enjoy it and we especially liked interacting with the horse before and after the ride. We also appreciated the rider for waiting for us as we were running behind. He was patiently waiting and ready for us when we arrived. Due to rushing we did not get coffee, chai or wine, which I think would have enhanced the experience and relaxation after a long day in time square! Nevertheless, it was fine! It's all what you make it and if I had the chance, I would do it again.
