What travellers are saying
- RandomTraveller26 contributionsthe view at Bethesda Fountain is simply stunning, offering a picturesque spot with the iconic Angel of the Waters statue and beautiful surrounding architecture. The fountain itself is a serene centerpiece amidst Central Park's lush greenery.
Given how vast Central Park is, it's definitely worth taking your time to explore as you make your way to this attraction. Whether you’re strolling along the pathways or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, the journey to the fountain is as enjoyable as the destination itself. It’s a perfect spot to pause and soak in the beauty of the park.Written 13 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was so pretty with the lights in the trees and all the flags with the iconic statue in the background and the ice rink. Seen so many times in films, it was just starting to lose the daylight and it was very, very striking.
There were lights on the ice rink and Prometheus and Atlas statues were both amazing.
Well worth seeing and very memorable.Written 2 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's located in a small green space right next to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and is a good place to sit, take in some greenery, and enjoy some quietude. I love coming here with a bagel to eat, or just to enjoy the flow of people. This statue is super detailed and should be studied at leisure. This statue isn't nearly as well-known as it should be, which is unfortunate, given how many people go through the cathedral.Written 27 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland31,546 contributionsReally attractive Fountain in Central Park. It’s worth a stop off for a few photos. The water was not flowing so bit average.Written 30 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN6,658 contributionsThis fountain in Bryant Park dedicated in 1912 memorializes the late 19th century social worker Josephine Shaw Lowell, who founded the Charity Organization Society. Interestingly, the fountain marks the first woman to be honored by a "major monument" in NYC. It helps creates the charming scene in Bryant Park which is arguably one of the finest city parks in the country.Written 20 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
