cost of a carriage ride??

Here is the information:

Riding inside one of the many colorful horse-drawn carriages that que up every day just across from the Plaza Hotel on Central Park South and 5th Ave. Popular all year round - either enjoying a soft summer breeze or all bundled up beneath the snug seat blankets to keep out the winter chill - the carriages provide a peak back to gaslight New York and it%26#39;s easy to imagine Diamond Jim Brady sharing an after dinner ride with Lily Langtree.

Each carriage is brightly colored and usually feature fresh flowers along with a charming and knowledgeble driver providing an insightful commentary along the way.

Carriages can be found all year round lined up along Central Park South between 5th and 6th Avenues.

Estimated Cost (not including tip):

$34 for the first 1/2 hour and

$10 for each additional 1/4 hour.

Thanks for your help!! :D

Do you know if there are any deals w. the rides?? If so... where?? Also how many ppl can fit in the carriage??

Thanks again...

By law, the capacity of each carriage is limited to 4 adults. Children under the age of 12 count as half of an adult.

I am not sure about discounts fro the carriage ride.

You%26#39;re not going to find any discounts for the carriage rides, as they are often independant operators, not part of a larger organization.

The rides are all well and fine, but I do think you see more of the Park on foot, or even on one of the pedicabs, which are multiplying like bunnies, for better or worse.

I know a carriage ride sounds romantic, etc., however, before you get in one, please take a good look at the horse. Many look very sad, not well fed and not well taken care of. Please use your best judgment.

I agree....I felt very sorry for the horses....and that was back in June before it got really hot.
