Top New York Bird Watching

I’m Steph — bird-influencer and host of That Quirky Bird Girl, where I share the joy, curiosity, and life lessons that come from connecting with birds. My goal is simple: help people slow down, look up, and discover that nature is all around us, even in the heart of NYC. Together, we’ll search for incredible birds like Sparrows, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Robins, and more. This stroll is perfect for beginners and bird lovers alike. We’ll learn what to look and listen for, get comfortable using binoculars, and uncover fun bird stories. Every season brings something new, with nearly 200 species passing through NYC. Winter brings ducks and resident birds, spring and fall bring colorful migrants, and summer highlights nesting birds raising the next generation. No two tours are the same, so come back in another season to experience a whole new side of Prospect Park’s feathered world. Leave with more curiosity, connection, and appreciation for the amazing nature happening all around us.

There’s no better way to see Central Park than by a classic NYC pedicab, and this tour lets you stop to capture photos too. Simply pick the package that’s right for you, from a regular 3-stop tour covering the Lower Loop through to the Dream package, which includes photography by your driver, an extended tour time, and covers the entire park.

Experience the magic of the holidays, New York City–style—and discover a festive attraction many other visitors miss—on this guided tour of Brooklyn's Dyker Heights neighborhood. Long celebrated for its over-the-top Christmas lights and installations, this residential neighborhood is a great place to get into the holiday spirit. Your guide takes you to the best viewing spots; then, explore the neighborhood independently before heading back to Manhattan.

Step back in time and embrace an ancient agricultural tradition with a hands-on goat herding experience in Hobart. Step into the role of a shepherd for a few hours, traveling alongside a lively herd of cashmere goats as they explore 30 acres of pristine meadows, woodlands, and creeks.

This unique outdoor activity offers a rare opportunity to connect with nature, engage with charming farm animals, and experience the rhythm of the countryside.
