A statue of a heroic sledge dog who participated on the famous Nome Serum Run. A bronze statue in the park.
Lovely little spot for kids. Often has street artists and musicians about. The lawns around have lots of bird and wildlife.
I mean, its a statue of a famous dog. Not worth going out of your way for. But if youre walking by, it might be worth taking a fun picture or two.Central Park has far better to offer.
Have loved this story since I was a little girl and have always dreamed of visiting the statue. It was just as amazing as I could have hoped, and to take my dog there with me was even more perfect ❤️
Beautiful dog statue in Central Park
Greatest dog of all time. Seeing this statue in person is a dream come true.
Always want to see it great experience beautiful 😍 I love it
I am commenting here only to salute the bravery of all the dogs especially TOGO participated in 1925 serum relay after seing the film Togo though I dont have a slight chance to see this statue or pay my tribute in my lifetime...
Balto is one of Central Park‘s greatest four – legged heroes. The small statue of a sleddog is popular among both adults (who know the story) and little kids who enjoy riding it for photos.In January 1925, the small Alaskan town of Nome suffered by diphtheria outbreak. The disease mostly struck children and was spreading very quickly. The illness could easily be contained with a certain antitoxin, but the town doctors were out of it, so it was threatening the lives of thousands within and out of the town.The best way to provide the required antitoxin was by dogsleds from Anchorage, but that was somewhat of a suicide mission due to the fact that it was in the peak of winter. The best options were the then – popular dogsleds. More than twenty sleds have ventured, and among them was Gunnar Kasson with his team leader Balto – an Alaskan malamute.Something of a race began, but it was the least between the sleds. They were racing with time, winter, and the disease. In the end Kasson and Balto were the first to reach their final destination. Kasson gave all the credit to his sled leader. They even toured the US as celebrities and were present when the statue in Central Park was unveiled.
Of the monuments I enjoy seeing in Central Park is the Balto Statue just before the Willowdell Arch bridge. Sculpted by Frederick George Richard Roth and erected in 1925, here you see a bronze of a Siberian Husky called Balto, who famously led a dog team through terrible winter conditions on a 675 mile journey to bring medicine to an isolated community in Alaska.Balto is wearing dog sled gear and is standing upon a boulder. There is an plaque with dedication message mounted into the face of the boulder, just below the Balto statue. Have a quick look before moving on to other intended sightseeing in Central Park.
My dog and I visit this statue often. Its popular for tourists but my dog just loves to come along and sit and stare at it.
I remember seeing this as a kid in the movie Balto so it was really cool to finally see it in person all these years later.
Crazy to finally see the statue after seeing it as a kid in the movie!
Oh very nice statue of Balto. Hope you know your history & look for Balto in central park.
Have visited each time I’m in NY. It’s a special spot. Balto and the other sled dogs deserve this recognition.
My nephew really wanted to check out this statue, because he knows the story of balto. Hes a dog that saved a village by carrying medicine to them. He knew the details way better than me. Its a fun free thing to do with kids.
Had waited a long time to finally have the same moment the classic movie Balto ended with. When the little girl finally finds the statue of Balto in Central Park that her grandma had always talked about. Walking up to that statue - although I’m allergic to dogs - gave me the chills... yes, it was the middle of early winter... so that may have been the actual source of goosebumps. But either way. I think we all need a moment similar to Miriam Margoyles... “thank you Balto, would’ve been lost without you”
Baltimore statue is on a lovely walking path inside the park.
This was a childhood dream of mine. To visit the Balto statue after being obsessed with the movie as a kid. I finally got around to doing it in my late 20s. Man, was it worth it. Such a cool experience to see the monument and read the plaque. Very cool. And a Bucket List item ✅ checked off.
Nearly 100 years later and hes still a good boy
Love the park
Sincerely wish this said Togo instead of Balto, but it is, never the less, a great story and memorial, and the statue is dedicated to all the dogs involved.In 2011, Time magazine named Togo the most heroic animal of all time: The dog that often gets credit for eventually saving the town is Balto, but he just happened to run the last, 55-mile leg in the race. The sled dog who did the lions share of the work was Togo.
Tia Zoo was nothing sorry of amazing. I mean I figured it would be..... Its central park zoo. But still the weather was not that good that day.. and I had just gotten my vaccine shot and was not sure how the day would play it... Not to mention my GF took hers like the day before so I want expecting much. And it was amazing!! Easily recommend.
My Mother perched me on this gorgeous statue in 1970. It is a sturdy sterling marker of Central Park. Take your own children too!
Lets be clear: this is a statue. Not a big deal. But, if you love the story, watched the movie(s), this is a cute place to come and snap a pic.
Highlight of Central Park!! All my children watched and loved this movie! It was like seeing an old friend! Lovely tribute!
I didnt know the movie or storie behind the statue and therefore it looks boring. Reading some comments it has a clear meaning i didnt know of, nevertheless Nice statue.
Very cute, love that they have a statue for a good dog that helped save a lot of people!
Come rubb his backfor good luck! Such a good monument. And in a great place;) Good luck WILL follow!
Great spot to stop and enjoy the park.Balto was a good boy and deserves all the attention he can get.
One of the best attractions for your kids.
Balto died in a zoo. People suck.
Its a statue of a dog. But it is a good statue of a dog
I love the story of Balto! I remember bringing my daughter to the statue when she was little after she saw the movie. Love this little spot!
It looks beautiful in daylight. Maybe they should consider installing lights for at night time. The Balto story was a memorable part of my childhood. It’s a great place for tourist to go. It’s also rather secluded. 10/10 should go see the balto statue among other attractions in Central Park.
Balto the movie taught me to never give up. I choked up & cried upon seeing his monument. A 25 year old dream realized. Faultless & pure.
A Togo statue should seriously be done too....no offense to Balto, but credit should also be given to the dog(s) that ran the farthest and not completely left out. Do your research!!!
Cool place to remember Balto.
Endurance, Fidelity, and Intelligence! The character traits printed on the plaque of the Balto statue are character traits that we should all be emulating. The iconic story of the snow dog (and team) that helped to bring medical supplies to a remote location in Alaska is timelessly inspiring as proven by the fact that this statue has been made. Following the epic journey Balto and team were sold to a vaudeville show in Los Angeles where they were badly treated. A concerned businessman from Cleveland Ohio noticing the poor situation of the dogs worked to bring the dogs to Ohio where they resided in Brookside Zoo the remainder of their years. Balto who died in 1933 was taxidermized and remains on display in the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
No other statue or monument in NYC has genuinely moved me more, than Balto.Greatest dog of all time. Period. If you don’t know about Balto, please take a moment right now to educate yourself and what he did.Never forget Balto.
I love the history of this dog.This statue is beautiful.
I was very surprised that you can review this statue, but I am happy that I can. Balto was a very good dog, and he saved people. I really love dogs, and I love hero dogs even more. The statue really represented the beautiful dog, and it stood out as a statue in central park that I will remember.
A very popular spot in the south of Central Park. Benches nearby allow you to enjoy the crowds.
Balto was one of many great dogs that made the life saving trip but TOGO was the greatest who made the longest and most important leg of the trip and deserves to be credited as such. We shall not rest until this wrong has been righted!
Nice statue not to far off from the road.
Perfect!
Ever since I watched the movie Balto during my childhood, my brother and I have always wanted to go to the statue in Central Park. I finally went there and its just a great story and statue. We were so happy to finally be there. I love the whole story of Balto so you should watch the movie if you havent and then come to the statue. 10/10
Fun statute to see in Central Park.
Balto statue I came upon by accident as I entered Central park,situated on the left to me as I continued my walk to my intended destination was this large dog statue. I paused with half dozen other people who were around at the time. Read the details ..fascinating story. I Continued my journey as my intention was to visit strawberry fields..John Lennon memorial site.Never made it as my journey was interrupted by closures due to slippery ice laden pathways. My visit to the park would have been more successful in better weather times...January with -10 degree temperatures certainly not conducive with hopeful aspirations. I better go back in warmer climes, put up with a queue/line and try again
We drove 4.5 hours and walked 4.5 miles just so my 7y.o. could touch Balto. Taking this pic was on his little bucket list! Cute!
A very good boy.But jokes aside,its a well kept, beautiful, and majestic statue of a hero.
Balto didnt really save people. Togo saved the people. Balto and Gunner only traveled a few miles, they didnt cross huge lakes twice while It was breaking. Togo should have a statue, not Balto who only brought the serum but did not fight for it,
I somehow thought this would be bigger or more impressive. You might just miss it altogether if youre not looking in the right place as you walk by.
I strongly feel that Togo’s statue should be right next to this one, if not in its place. Togo travelled 260 miles to retrieve the serum that saved the children! Balto only traveled the last 30 miles.
Hope to go and visit one day! Love the movie it made me cry so so much! What an amazing dog he was ! What they went thru to help those children! I actually loved the movie Togo loved it ! What an amazing dog he was also! I I cried So much !
Best statue in the entire city! Seriously why arent all the statutes of Balto? Who needs dumb statues of bulls and George Washington? They never delivered medicine to save sick children! Balto is the best dog! 11/10 Would definitely visit again!!!
Cool statue of an American Hero. Parents were letting their children climb all over this monument which seemed to dishonor his legacy of service, but maybe he would have been okay with it since he always thought of others. Cool story and a part of history.
Nice, NJ DOGS TRAINING LLCNJDOGSTC .COM
Great true story of a Life saving dog . And wonderful Disney movie as well
It was great check off part my grandsons bucket list
Doggo statue yes
The real sled dog hero should be put in its rightful spot. Balto only ran 30 miles while Togo ran over 250 miles. Please correct this mistake. Togo and his handler should have their rightful support and love from the community that they saved.
It sure is a dog statue on the side of the road
I enjoyed coming to see the Balto statue as I had watched the movie when I was young with my family. My Mom loved Balto and his story too, so the statue made my family happy.
It is a nice place to stop if you are strolling in Central Park. If you are a big fan of the story of Balto (or the film), then it is pretty cool to see. It was not in a busier area of the park either, so it was nice and quiet.
Not only a very good boy, possibly the best boy. He saved people. Woof. The movie was good too. There is a rocky mountain next to the Balto statue where you can sit and contemplate what a good boy he was.
A beautiful statue that adds to the experience of walking through nature. Its not worth the venture over here just for it, but walking by it is always nice.
If you are familiar with the historical events surrounding Balto, it is a treat to see the statue in person. The walk through Central Park is quite nice as well. Love this area in Spring and Fall the most.
Beautiful to take pictures
Is nice to have a monument recognizing a dog too. A QR code to get the full story, or an accompanying display case would really come in handy.
Iconic statue. Central Park always delivers that beautiful atmosphere.
Great fun for kids to pose
If you are in NYC don’t miss these historic pieces
Awesome statue of hero dog. Reminds me of my dog Kona
I grew up with the cartoon movie Balto, so needless to say I was very excited to see his statue! On a sunny spring day, its a perfect rest area with benches aplenty.
Cool tourest spot for dog lovers. My only complaint is its so popular that its hard to get just a picture of the statue. I could only get snaps with others on the statue.
People please watch the movie Togo ( the untold true story).. if you have not yet watched it you must!! It tells the real story about this statue, and what really happened that day 😭
I loved seeing the Balto statue after years and years of seeing it in the movie and reading the fascinating history behind the legendary sled dogs that saved the people of Nome, Alaska in the early 1900s!
I’m in special love with the moment when I saw personally this statue. One of my favorite cartoons was Balto when I was so young. Lovely ❤️
Story of a loyal and strong dog
Never been to this statue but I know that the true hero is Togo by over 200 miles. Balto only delivered the serum with a few miles to do.At least put a Statue of Togo next to the Balto statue
People please look at the big picture now if Togo failed on his path and role both dogs would fail their mission so does if Balto and Kaasen had lost the serum on their path. If that happens Togo’s hard work is wasted. The goal is to just get the MEDICINE TO THE CHILDREN not to see who is the best dogs cause all of them are.
A beautiful statue that gives a shoutout to one of the lesser known heroic acts in American history. Balto, the dog himself, played a major role as a sled dog that helped quicklu deliver a serum to Nome, Alaska to cure the mortally sick. Although most statues are bound to develop a patina from weathering and age, Balto stays shiny like new, due to constant contact and touching by those who want to ride his back or pet him.
I have never been here but it looks awesome!!! I watched the movie and Balto really is a hero!! Also Togo should be there too. And Fox. Me and my friends are gonna write a letter and see if we can get a Togo Statue
Strongly feel that Togo’s statue should be right next to this one, if not in its place. I just to respect and honor Balto but after knowing the reality I feel speechless.
Kids learned about Balto in school, so we had to see the statue on their first trip to NYC. Popular photo op and a good excuse to wander through Central Park looking for it.
Really nice statue with a plaque of the actual historical context of the statue. Unfortunately a lot of people did not treat the statue with respect and climbed all over it. This made it hard to take a photograph or to actually appreciate it
I didnt live during this time but as my opinion, the status should have been for TOGO together with his owner LEONARD SEPPALA who sled for 263 miles while the other team only sled for 31 miles. Thats HEROISM. Though they didnt receive any awards but the people will remember what SEPPALA and TOGO did that day.
It was a hunt finding it but his statue was inspiring and real and the message in it was beautiful
My man Balto kept Alaska safe and I saw a dog pee on the statue as a sign of respect
Always a great place to visit while walking in the Park... This time I was able to introduce Balto to a friend who just got a new dog...
Best statue in Central Park, Balto was the goodest boi!
Beautiful statue, wish there were some stairs to get up to the statue. Nearly broke my ankle getting back down.
There should be togos statue not balto but baltos statue may be near the togos statue. doga are so magnificient animals ı like them so much.
I always wanted to see Baltos statue since I was a child. As a person who grew up from other country, I dont know where the statue is located. I have seen it in the Balto movie. Now my dream came true!
Thank you Balto, I wouldve been lost without you.
Made a nice target within the park for a walk. Surprising how many people were taking photos there. Nice area of the park with a bridge and some large boulders.
I like Central Park and Balto statue. My kids like to climb the rock and take photos with it.
Balto one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE movie! I must recommend you come see real live Balto statue if you are Balto movie fan! Take picture and make all friends jealous!
The statue appeared to be well maintained. There were many sled dogs that helped to transport the life-saving serum.I believe that each and every sled dog that contributed should be individually honored! Its a shame that some of the sled dogs were tied to a sled and confined to a small area for exhibition! They should have had a better quality of life! Freedom to run! The best of food! Lots of love, tender loving care!The Iditarod isnt run over the original serum Run! Too many dogs are bred. They arent well kept!A hundred years ago it was hard to provide for your family! Sled dogs were kept as part of the family. They were few in number. No one could afford to keep so many dogs !!! People cried when there wasnt enough food to feed their dogs! The dogs were counted upon to help! They were loved & treasured for the help that they gave!Dogs wore special coats to protect genitals, paws etc... Sled dogs were nurtured! Breeding was limited, as not every family could afford to raise puppies! They were allowed inside of homes, not tied up to a barrels by the hundreds!Iditarod racers should be limited to one litter( of puppies) per year or be disqualified from the race! They should learn to LOVE and appreciate EVERY single dog that they have!Keep only the best! All Sled dogs are special.Think about breeding and keeping the best sled dogs that you can! Carefully select the parents.I would then be proud of the Iditarod racers!Dont ever lose what made Balto and all of the other sled dogs GREAT DOGS!I hope that its not gone yet!No more large kennels! Keep all of your current canine sled dog racers. Enjoy!Limit future breeding! Careful selection and nurtured dogs will recreate & honor the old ways!!!!
A great, accessible piece of history in Central Park. The story of Balto and the sled dogs that delivered diphtheria antitoxin is a great one for kids and adults. You can get up close and take a photo with the statue, and then listen to teenagers try to pronounce antitoxin.
The famous great statue of the beloved dog, Balto. He has an inspiring story thats why hes a hero.
One of the most admired statues in the park stands on a rock outcropping on the main path leading north from the Tisch Children’s Zoo.A 1995 animated movie was based on the heroic exploits of Balto, an Alaskan Malamute, who braved fierce Arctic weather to deliver a badly needed antitoxin to save a community from a diptheria epidemic. Balto actually later visited New York and saw his statue dedicated.Frederick G.R. Roth, who designed the statue, was a well known animal sculptor. Roth’s Balto is depicted with his dogsled harness hanging from his back, as he appears to survey the distance. A low-relief plaque bears the words “Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxins 660 miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.” Just like the Alice in Wonderland sculpture, the glowing bronze patina is the result of the loving pats of countless children, and perhaps of adults, as they happen on Balto near Willowdell Arch.
Probably a 5 min stay. Kids climb it to have a photo (a bit dangerous). Saw a page about Balto in a book and now inspired to see the movie!
Togo was the real hero here. He ran over 260 miles, while the other dogs only ran 31 miles. This historical FACT needs to be corrected and credit needs to go where it is due...especially to Togos owner who made the long trip to save the lives of children. Do the right thing!
Its in an area where you have benches and can sit and relax as well as a grassy area to put a blanket down and relax and enjoy your day
After reading the story kids were fascinated with the Statue and its amazing to see how many people pose for pictures when the statue humans and dogs alike!
Its beautiful ❤
Balto (March 1919) was a Siberian Husky sledgehammer who led his team during the transfer of diphtheria to Nome in Year 6. At that time, diphtheria was widespread among people, and the drug was transported by train from Anchorage, Alaska, to Nenana, Alaska, to reach Nom people using sled dogs. The battle against diphtheria began with the annual race of sled dogs. The name Balto is taken from the Sami researcher Samuel Balto. Balto died at age 14.
My dad was strangely a big fan of the Balto Statue and had a slew of useless knowledge about statues that followed as I stood through this unessessery pit stop before the life we were trying to get to began. Go Balto!
Recommend taking the time to read a beautiful memorial.
If you grew up on the movie/story, youll love it.
If youve seen the movie, this will probably mean more to you. Not quite sure why its in NY, when the events surrounding the statue happened in Alaska, but a nice tribute anyway.
I watched a movie ‘Togo’ from disney, and then came here. It’s very good to see these dogs statue and remembering what they did for human.
Its nice to see the statue in the love of TOGO, i came here by watching movie TOGO, a terrific movie ,and a life saver steps by the leader of dogs.
Its the statue from the movie!
Very popular spot for pictures. Nice area to sit and relax. ➡
My kids love it because after waching the movie they wanna met balto
Easily accessible. Statue is photogenic. You can take pictures from many angles as well as with people next to it etc. Even selfies!
Now thats a good dog.
A very good boy
It was really nice to see the statue of balto in person.
Placed logically on the path between other places that you want to visit.
We dont deserve dogs. My greatest hope for humanity is that someday we will.
Lovely little statue that we visited after watching the movie Togo, a truly inspiring story.
Beautiful. According to Wikipedia, Balto (1919 – March 14, 1933) was a mostly black with some white Siberian husky and sled dog who led his team on the final leg of the 1925 serum run to Nome, in which diphtheria antitoxin was transported from Anchorage, Alaska, to Nenana, Alaska, by train and then to Nome by dog sled to combat an outbreak of the disease. Balto was named after the Sami explorer Samuel Balto. Balto died of natural causes at age 14.
Love dogs. I am sure there are some great Dogs of New York that can be honored as well.
Walking along Central Park and not stopping to check Balto out is just not possible! Easy to find if you follow the map and cool to take pictures with it.
I love it.. I go see this statue every time I visit NY
Balto was a great dog he saved lifes in the 1920,s that theres a statue and three movies of balto
Thats great to all these dogs to have a statue that represents them in their park :) (Balto story apart)
It is such a unique place to go! If you are on a New York trip wanting to see all of the iconic places, i would recomend this statue to see.
I visited this statue because we had guests from out of town who wanted to see it. It was really nice since there werent any tourists around
Probably my favorite statue of a pup.
True story about the sled dog name Balto from a frontier town name Nome, Alaska. he saved two childrens life by delivering the medicine.
Balto embodies the heart of new yorkers. Endurance Fidelity and Intelligence. Woof!
Should has been the TOGO statue, crossed 263miles/ 420km to deliver the serum hes the REAL HERO, yet balto did nothing but took all the credits
This is a great spot to take pictures and meditate. In honor of Balto and for taking relatives from out of town. Not to be missed.
It is a nice statue of Balto, my friend did not know about this dog and it was nice to go and visit the place.
Who wants to see some goat who delivered medicine and saved lives? I mean, there is no color, it is bland, and useless. All it is is a statue of a random rodent. If it delivered pie, then maybe Id change my mind.
Beautifully and clean ver harmony. A place to sit and relax... I recommend to everyone..
Beautiful statue with a heroic story behind it. Balto saved many lives in Alaska.
As always, being into central park and its many visitors points is is a gift
Amazing story, deservingly recognised
Great place for photos, especially with other dogs
One of my favorite statues and story! I love Balto!
I first saw Balto in the movie as a y0ung boy. And the amazing story of this dog, never left my memory since.
Very unique sculpture.
There was an other amazing dog, Togo run with medicines also. Sadly he has not statue.
The statue was magical to my kids because the story behind the dog.
I think Balto do a great thing because hes save a lot of kids life. And was make Balto a legend and without he rosies and the other kids whenever have life and was make balto a legend
I like the statue its self and Balto the dog. A little disappointed though.
Awesome spot for tourist photo op with balto statue but even better is that its in central park! How beautiful is that!
Beautiful statue! Everyone should definitely find the time and money to visit the statue because it is well worth it!
I totally randomly and unexpectedly run into this statue... it was Balto! The famous dog from my childhood movie!!
The best place in NYC
The real hero was Togo. Not Balto.
I love Balto sense I watch the movie they made of him I have fell in love with Balto and I also want to the statue of Balto of every but never get the money to see it.
Best Alaskan sled dog memorial statue in Central Park!
My son loves Balto because we have Huskies. He was happy!
Amazing part of history! Very nice statue to visit especially with kids!
Awesome statue! I wish he was my dog. And he was as big as the statue, so I could ride him
Smokin’ Sleddog Records took a picture of mascot/ambassador Little Jack Sparrow at the Balto statue! 🎶❤️🐾
I went there to take a picture for my son. All the statues in this area of Central Park are awesome
I went to visit back in 2011 I will visit again. Its nice that they made a monument of the hero wolf dog ❤️
Its off to the side of the road, but a good place to visit. Hop on, take a pic or two
Iconic statue
Always there with my cat on leash ))
Great story and fun place for kids
It tells you the story about Balto...
Lovely statue! Beautiful. Nice place to take pics
Balto was a good dogAnd Togo is a good movie
I did not know that it is one of the tourists attractions. But, it was a good spot for taking pictures.
Nice location in the park next to kids playground and the butterfly garden
Its TOGO, NOT BALTO!!!! Watch the movie, read the story, so you can understand!
IF you know the history....it is a delightful stop on a walk through the Park.
This is a real nice statue of a dog with an amazing backstory that I recommend everyone look into.
Its just a statue of a dog but if you watch the Balto movie beforehand, this will mean so much more.
Coolest statue ive ever seen, unfortunately, its all dirty and without care around it.
Central park, close to the Zoo, always beautiful!
Oddly muscular for a 96 year old dog. Just saying.
Clean and beautiful! Have been waiting to see it since I was a child, it was very exciting for me.
I was told it was a hard find, but we made it pretty easy. Used the satellite view in Google Maps.
Its a beautiful tribute to a special dog in the heart of Central Park.
Inside Central Park. Read up on Balto and youll love seeing the statue.
Beautiful! Great day walking the park!
My Daughter loved it . True story.
A little hard to find but worth visiting, especially if youve seen the Iditarod or Balto movie
Havent been able to see it in years, but, just wanted to say thank you, dogs, youre a womans bff, 2, 😘

2022-05-29I think the statue is very well constructed and a good attraction for the price. However, I would like to see a little recognition for the real hero Togo. Hopefully, like statues of Robert E Lee and Christopher Columbus, the world will soon wake up to how history has been white washed and the true legend Togo will be honored. Great place for kids.

2022-04-17Good ol’ Balto. Very nice statue. Beautiful photo opportunity. Nice memory to have. It’s also near a lot of other statues and there’s a Childress playground in front of the statue so it’s a win win for the kids.

2022-04-25Nice statue but its too sad they chose the wrong dog. I mean yes, Balto was the leading dog of the last leg amd definitely deserves a recognition but I think Togo deserves to have a statue more.

2022-07-08My daughter was so excited and happy when she got to pose with the statue. She loves dogs, rescue dogs most of all.

2022-06-30Oh you have to love the Story or Balto/Togo. Both Heros and shared in bringing medicines to alot of people who were sick and dying in a town that was only accessable by Dog Sled in the Winter.

2021-06-04Always nice to stop by the Balto Statue to pay respects to all the good boys (and girls) out there! Great place to stop for group or family photos. Just enjoy the view and relax on the park benches right next to the statue. Make sure to stop by the Balto Statue while you’re in Central Park. Enjoy!

2022-05-24The story of Balto is so endearing and lovely, and the statue is a lovely memory of it. If you’re in Central Park I highly recommend paying Balto a visit to feel the magic!
