Alice in Wonderland Statue in Central Park
Written by VacationIdea.com Travel Editors.
Alice in Wonderland is the children's favorite sculpture in Central Park. Kids climb on it, touch it to experience different textures, and interact with the characters. Located at the northern end of Conservatory Water, the statue features characters from Lewis Carroll's 1865 classic tale Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
The sculpture, dedicated in 1959, was commissioned by philanthropist George Delacorte from Jose de Creeft. Alice is seated on a giant mushroom, while March Hare and Mad Hatter flank the sculpture on both sides. The timid mouse is perched on top of a smaller mushroom, while the Cheshire cat looks over Alice's shoulder.
The statue of Hans Christian Andersen is located nearby, west of Conservatory Water. Read more about New York City's Central Park and browse pictures.
