- Ashfield531Ringwood, United Kingdom1,026 contributionsIconic bronze sculptureThis is just as impressive when you see it as all the pictures that you see on news programs. The sculpture is excellent in its own right with a real feel of power and motion. The only downside is the popularity so it is crowded even on a cold winter day. Also for some reason they have put up some useless fencing nearby.Visited January 2023Written 21 January 2023
- JoeManchester, United Kingdom105 contributionsA quick pit stopWhilst in the financial district we popped on by to see the charging bull. We completely understand the significance of the bull and I’m glad I visited it. However be warned, the queue to get a picture with it is very long and I wasn’t willing to wait that longVisited January 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 24 January 2023
- Mich Herondale99 contributionsToo crowdedThis is a cool statue to see, but the queue was unbelievable! And some people took too long to take their pictures. Plus, the day we went they were some guys climbing on the statue, taking their pics and just making a full on show, that ended up annoying everyone because they were taking sooo long and they just kept going back for more! Honestly, I was surprised that there was no one at least checking up every once in a while.Visited October 2022Written 7 March 2023
- Arthur MHamilton, Canada1,038 contributionsInsanely crowded, surrounded by visitors on all sides.Upon visiting this statue, there are two lineups, one on each side of the bull (not sure why there is a lineup at the backside of the bull). And on top of those two lines, there are people informally posing by the sides, essentially photobombing people who lined up. Pretty messy situation. Just like the financial markets lately.Visited April 2023Written 13 April 2023

Set Downtown, the bull is a popular tourist destination that apparently draws thousands of people a day. Certainly an enormous queue of people were lined up to touch the bull for luck when my wife and I visited the area.Visited May 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 9 June 2023
- KatyMoray, United Kingdom462 contributionsMaybe just an old taleWe heard that the bull could bring luck people were queuing to touch the bull and get photos. It is well made and must weigh a lot . Here’s to see after friends getting me up the step with help from a gentleman if the bull does bring good luck .Visited June 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 13 July 2023

- therichastillStevenage, United Kingdom2,556 contributionsBring it on!There is a huge statue of a bull in the Financial District. I was intrigued to check it out on my visit to New York City. I visited in October 2023 and the statue is quite easy to find. It's not far from the Stock Exchange and not too far from Battery Park. When I was there the area was buzzing and there were two queues of people waiting to get their picture taken with the bull. Some lining up to be photographed with the head and some in the opposite direction to get their picture taken with the rear. Intriguing....Visited October 2023Travelled soloWritten 16 November 2023

Cool statue worth visiting. The Charging bull is on Wall Street and usually is followed by a line of tourists trying to take a picture with the bull. It is worth seeing.

This area is super crowded with tourists lining up to get a photo with the bull (both front & rear) so it was really difficult to get a look.

If you have a little time to kill, then this might be a good choice. Two long queues that go onto the road: one to take a photo of/with the bull's head, and another for the back of the bull.

When you’re the finance type or you trade stocks, you want to see the charging bull!
I was a bit surprised by where it was located (right along the street and it’s not across from the NYSE), and I was even more surprised that there were lines to take photos with it. One was from the front, which you have to do…. And one from the back, because if you rub its testicles you get financial luck (bulls balls as they call it). I did not do the one from behind because the line was too long.
I know it’s just a statue, but it was one of my highlights in NYC. Im glad I went!

It’s worth seeing. Battery Park, One World Trade Center, and the 9/11 Museum are close by, so you can make a day out of it.
Go as early as possible, the line gets very long.

Why are there police barricades around the bull?
