The Ramble Tour

Coined the "wild garden" by Park designer Frederick Law Olmsted, the Ramble offers visitors a tranquil spot to meander along winding paths and discover hidden forest gardens. Designed as an idyllic escape for urban explorers and recently restored to recreate Olmsted’s original vision, visitors can follow a maze of pathways past streams and under arches, all with trees overhead — a rare chance to enjoy nature without leaving the City.
