Loeb Boathouse Central Park

Fiore Lee

Loeb Boathouse in Central Park offers a magical experience with its boat rentals that extend until sundown. The restaurant is momentarily closed but they have a outside deck by the rental boat stand. Despite the long 2-hour wait, the romantic boat ride is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Maneuvering the paddle requires minimal skills, allowing you to explore the lake. The panoramic view of New York from the water is breathtaking. While the boats show signs of aging and could use renewal, the overall experience is undeniably worthwhile.

The Loeb Boathouse in Central Park, New York City, is a popular spot for renting boats. They offer rowboats and pedal boats for visitors to enjoy a leisurely ride on the lake. It's a wonderful activity, especially during the warmer months when you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Central Park. A waiver is required--they need to post bigger sign and remind people they need to complete while waiting in line. ** I would recommend weekday to avoid wait in long line.

The Central Park Boathouse is an iconic attraction of Central Park and a must visit dining destination of New York City. In August of 2023, I brought and treated my wife and myself for dinner at the Central Park Boathouse and we very much enjoyed our dining experience. The wait time went by fairly quickly and our meal was served within a few minutes of seating down at our table. Both my wife and I very much enjoyed our hamburger and fries meal because we found that it was well cooked and superbly delicious!!! When visiting Central Park, both my wife and I highly recommend that you visit and dine at the Central Park Boathouse!!!
