Terrible

Sarah_B, Apr 2026
Terrible experience - booked and did not use because of a two hour long wait time even for those that had pre-paid. Waste of money.

Great service, fun activity.

I got my bike very quickly and everything very easy. The bike rental shop is very close to the park entrance so I didn't have to ride on the avenue, great point. The bike was in perfect condition and I could see all the attractions in the park in 3 hours. Thanks

Central Park was brilliant and cycling is a great way to see it. Unfortunately the bikes we had weren't good, bald tyres good job it was dry, dodgy brakes and gears. The bikes require proper maintenance

Great value. We booked for a Saturday but it rained so the lady kindly rebooked us for the Sunday when the weather was glorious. To see the park in all it's glory - book for 4 hours. bring sandwiches and a drink as park prices are extortionate.

Natalie M, Sep 2016
The bike rental was a few blocks from Central Park. They were a little unfriendly and the bikes also didn't have mud guards on them. This was a problem when it started pouring down rain. There is a bike rental place right at the entrance to the park on Colombus, but the Citi Bikes are also one of the best things you can rent. We rented them for 24 hours and it was so easy to get around.

Good hireage experience, but you can get companies closer to the park so I'd probably recommend that instead...

Hello Jess ! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great time biking with Bike Rental Central Park. Furthermore, we are pleased to hear that our staff provided you with an exceptional experience. We appreciate your support and hope to tour with you again soon.

Correct, mais l'amabilité est à revoir

THOMAS_F, Jul 2019
les vélos sont de bonne qualité le service en revanche est très moyen, ils ont voulu nous faire payer le panier alors qu'il était compris dans le prix. Il devait y avoir des petites remorques pour enfant et il n'y a que des sièges bébé. Je passerai par un autre prestataire si je devais relouer des vélos.

Buen servicio

Mayer S, Jul 2018
Servicio rápido y agradable. Las bicis necesitan algo de mantenimiento para que no suenen al pedalear.

ilse h, Sep 2016
de fiets zelf was ok, gemakkelijk om central park te verkennen, maar het verhuurkantoor was een ramp. Chaos tot en met. Aanschuiven in rijen, om dan te horen dat het enkel voor return was, terwijl dit nergens aangegeven staat. ID wordt gewoon in algemeen doosje gestoken, dus bij terugkomst moet men het jouwe eruit zoeken, dus kans op verlies. De mannen die de fietsen gaven, waren zeer onvriendelijk. Vooral de organisatie in dit bureau was ver te zoeken, een manager zou welkom zijn.

Francois L, Sep 2016
A faire en toute sécurité avec les enfants. Permet de visiter assez rapidement et sans trop d'efforts l'ensemble du parc et ses nombreux points dintérêt. En été, au nord de Central Park: Lasker Pool piscine gratuit en plein air devenant une patinoire en hivers

Frederique K, Jul 2016
4 heures de réservation pouvaient paraître de trop, mais finalement on bien été utilisées ! Voir peut être insuffisantes si on veut faire le tour complet de central parc. Le loueur est juste à côté du parc et c'était bien pratique.

J'ai été déçu car je pensais que la location se faisait plus prêt du parc. Et manque de bol la roue à crever... Sinon pas cher pour le service que c'est.

Alexandre d, May 2016
Une balade très sympa en famille, à faire! compter deux heures au moins pour pouvoir faire le tour du parc avec des enfants en flânant. Les vélos sont corrects, et l'accueil efficace pas d'attente.
