Charging Bull in New York
Comments (199)
It’s the Charging Bull statue that has become a symbol of Wall Street. It was pretty busy on the day we were there and it had two lines. One for the front of the bull, and the other line was for photos with the bull’s nuts??? It was a nice spring day, and people were climbing around, on top of and under this bronze. It was more entertaining watching people almost fall off the bull than it was to see it. We did not spend time in line to get photos with the bull, just snapped a few with hopes the market will rebound after a shaky start to 2022! Overall, glad we stopped to see it, but it wasn’t really anything that special. So much more to do in NYC…
Iconic Charging Bull statue for a photo op.The two lines were too long. Yes two lines. One in the front of the bull for the tourists. And the back line for the retail investors hoping to catch a better luck in the stock market.
Neat NYC attraction. Good for pictures, short walk from Wallstreet. There most likely will be many people trying to get a picture. Limited standing space since its at a steet fork.
Its a nice photo opportunity place. Its crowded during weekends and holidays. Wait time was about 15mts during the visit.
Its too crowded all the time and really hard to get close to it and take a picture. If you are not a fan of these types of sculptures, do not waste your time on this. There are much more better places you can visit in New York City
This is a very iconic piece of New Yorks financial history! Very coop to see in person. Beware: It is kind of a tourist trap and you have to sometimes wait in a pretty long line to even get a picture with it!
A must see attraction. There may be a short line to take posed pics in close proximity (fontal) to the bull, but you can take pics from other angles freely. If youre interested in people watching you can have fun watching people posing at the wrong end of the bull touching the bulls boy parts.
The icon of Wall Street and the New York Financial District!The Charging Bull’s depiction of aggression and unpredictability is further symbolized by its rather young history despite being so emblematic.🐂📈#chargingbull #wallstreet #newyorkcity #finacialdistrict #nyc #stockmarket #manhattan #moneyneversleeps
This is a fun experience seeing the bull and taking a photo. Some people are lined to have all the space for themselves. I guess they believe that touching it is attracting success. It may take you 40 min waiting though. I didnt mind having an instant capture in front of it when others were around and moved on. If you are like me, read the story in Wiki, take a snapshot and go.Respect for the artists donation gesture to NY city!
The statue is really well made and maintained. Theres a long queue to get a photo near it, but if youre not interested in getting in the photo you can try to capture the moment of change between people wanting to get a souvenir photo! This is what I did!
If you are visiting wall street then definitely you should go and see the Bull of Wall Street or the Bowling Green Bull. This is a bronze sculpture on Broadway .Best time to take pictures - very early morning or late evening !
You will find large Q lane . Worth to wait to snap
Honestly, I agree with many others. This is just a bronze statue of a bull. Why so many people queue for a photo of its testicles is beyond me. If you MUST see this statue and get a picture, arrive before 0830. No queues, no people in the background. Just a bull and whatever you want to do with it.The American Indian museum and Bowling Green park immediately adjacent to the Bull are way better; in fact, just check out the four large sculptures adorning the museum if you want to see something truly amazing.
A must visit site if your visiting the city. It can get very crowded during the day. I found that earlier times in the day, like around 7am....The bull is usually empty and can get best pictures then.
If youre in the neighborhood, you might want to stop by Charging Bull, which is an American symbol of the stock market. In spite of the crowdedness, and the line for a picture, its still a nice place to visit.
I hope I win the lottery soon so I can buy an Arri camera. Wish me luck🤣🤣🤣🤣
The charging bull or Wall street bull, I walk pass by it Monday-Friday heading to work. No matter what time I walk pass by the bull, there is a always someone taking pictures usually the regular suspect - tourist. The bull represents courage, resilency, can do attitude of American, and New Yorkers. The area is well maintained and usually monitored by NYPD. I like the picture of the fearless girl because I am a girls dad. We need to instill courage and confidence in our daughters. Its interesting what we New Yorkers take for granted, tourist looks forward to see and enjoy.
Neat to see but crazy busy and very long wait for a quick photo without people posing by it.
A lot of people taking pics with the bull but there’s quite a sight around it as well. NYC’s architecture is so nice to look at.
It was enjoyable taking some pictures with the charging bull. We went there after Christmas day, and it was very crowded. We needed to wait in a line to get pictures. Some people were not happy that the guards asked them to finish taking the photos because a line of people was waiting their turn, but it was fun.
Great place to visit. The scavenger hunt we did included rubbing the bulls balls, but I don’t feel any luckier 🤷♂️
There were two very long line-ups, one for the head and the other for the tail. I was still able to catch a few pictures from the side while crossing the street.
This is really celebrity statue I ever saw (within same size statues) people are waiting in line only for take photo with. I wasn’t brave enough to join to the line. But enjoyed watching from distance.
The bull as it is, everyone sees 😁 a famous place in NY, usually a queue for a photo. You will be standing for the photo from the front of the bull and from the back.
Amazing piece of art. A lot of people almost all the time.
REALLY liked the orderly line people formed to take turns taking pictures. Much better than the free for all the last time I was here... took about 10 min wait but well worth it for the great pic!
The sculpture is impressive but there were too many people. Super crowded. It was our first time visiting New York but we weren’t willing to wait in that ridiculously long line. I just took a picture from afar. 😂
The staple of Wall Street and the ideals of America charging spirit. It’s a tourist photo opt so there might be long lines. If you don’t have the patience advice getting there early if feasible. Located near the Native American Indian museum and the Vietnam vet Memorial.
Ive been there a few days ago, there was a long line of tourists waiting for a picture. The statue is massive but not worth the wait. If you go there, you can at least you saw the iconic bull.
Iconic, so many people its hard to get a good picture
Great to visit around 9pm. Much better for photos
The queue for taking pictures of the bull from back is longer than the queue for the front... How funny!!! 😃... People find creative ways to take the pictures... Im sure the maker of the statue would not have thought far 😂.
It was absolutely a great experience! I honestly recommend to visit the bull 🐂
My son had a ball taking pictures with the bull it was very busy with tourists
During daytime there are a lot of tourist, but if you to at night the statue is completely abandoned so you can get some good pictures!
Way to many people to stay in line for a perfect photo 😂
This is one of the most popular landmarks in NY. Any visitor comes to NY this place always stays in their to do list. This is a public place nice to have some good pics. Also the famous Wall Street visible from this place. Good place for spending an hour or two. Also great verities of food available in the surroundings.
Eccentric tourist attraction where youll meet so many beautiful people, cultures, languages and experiences in community around sharing. Best time is a warm night, with a warm love to create warm memories.
Been there done that a hundred times ✅. But it’s still one of my favorite place to take guests that are visiting NYC. Everyone should check it out….you may run into a movie or show being filmed.
Oh God! Its a crazy experience. The big bull symbolism for rising market in the wall street. Tourists can visit and climb bull and take pics. Expect a long queue to take pics. Its worth wait.There is a local ride across wall street also available in buses nearby and visitors can visit it. There is an indian culinary available nearby where we get Indian food by bangladeshi. Chicken over rice is famous.
Its right on the street, no entry fees, no opening/closing timing...There is a line to take pictures, there are gift shops on either side of the road, there is a small park nearby.The nearest subway station is bowling green.
This used to be fun to visit, but now there are just long lines to take a photo with it...AT BOTH ENDS of the bull there are lines. SMH. I mean, its iconic, but with all the people it is just not photographic anymore.
Crowded at any time of the day. It was funny to see people getting in to a second line to get pictures with rear of the bull
Charging Bull, sometimes referred to as the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull, is a bronze sculpture that stands on Broadway just north of Bowling Green in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. The 7,100-pound (3,200 kg) bronze sculpture, standing 11 feet (3.4 m) tall and measuring 16 feet (4.9 m) long, depicts a bull, the symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity. Charging Bull is a popular tourist destination that draws thousands of people a day, symbolizing Wall Street and the Financial District.
Good to check off the list, but to avoid big lines just to take the picture I recommend going in the morning. Around 7am I had the bull just for myself 😎
Took my kids last year in the summer time 2020.It was real early like 7:00am in the morning.No one was around.I took alot of pictures.Easy to get to by train and not to far from The Battery Park.Charging Bull🐂
Cool, fun and great spot for a quick picture. Sometimes, there is a line but if you are willing to help the person in line take a picture, the line will go down fast. Not a huge deal but if youre in New York, take some time to take a picture here
Its a bull, not much more you can say. Good photo opportunity though.
This is located on a very small side street that can be difficult to find using GPS. There is no parking around here so it’s another location that you will have to walk to. There is usually a line of people waiting to take pictures, so in my opinion, the earlier you get here the better chance of having random people in your picture. The people taking pictures are usually tourists and they can be very ruthless and impatient so another reason to try and beat the crowd.If This is your First Time Here- the Fearless Girl Statue and Wall Street are right around the block so you can do all three in one trip. Again, the earlier you start your day, the better pictures you will have.
The statue itself IS pretty cool and if you believe in urban legends, make sure to stroke its balls to assure yourself a return to NYC. However, it can get super crowded and hard to take cool photos of the statue itself. Whats amazing of this location, and doesnt get enough attention, are the skyscrapers you get in the background! Its amazing for photographs and just to appreciate the citys architecture!
Was very exciting for me to visit the Bull. Its so iconic to the many éxitos de la vida.
Very crowded, but cool. Get there really early in the morning if you don’t want a big crowd.
Finally visited the most iconic place in New York. I always wanted to visit this place since my childhood. I was shocked when I reach this place, there was a huge line of people who wanted to take the picture with the charging bull. I took the photo too but couldnt take it without anyone around it.I love the vibe of the place though it was v chilly and windy that day. Yet I enjoyed my time
New York never fails to give you options to have fun, enjoy the city walk, the beauty of the surrounding and then comes the charging bull. Good place on the middle of the road near wall street to get a picture with the charging bull which you will cherish throughout your life. During winters, you will also see the surrounding covered with colorful tulips.
This sculpture always has a line for taking pictures, incredible!!! Still is an amazing conceptual piece of art!
Just iconic. So much history in this city! Want to elope in NYC?Book me on IG @claribeltheofficiant
Finally got chance to find charging bull with zero crowd... It was late night though. 11 pm. But it was worth to roam around new york city at 11 pm.
There is a line that youll have to wait in but it felt pretty good to give the famous bull my support ☺️
Its a big bronze bull. It was cool. It is a really cool large statue.Dont expect that you are visiting a museum or a organize tourist attraction. It is literally just a piece of art at the fork in a road. I have read a few of the reviews in which people have only given one or two stars. They seem to be upset that theres not an organized line or anything. As I said, it is just a statue on the side of the road. Dont expect to be pampered. I really dont understand how this could get less than five stars.So there is going to be traffic passing by and during the day I can imagine there are lots of tourists. At 11 at night its not crowded. However, I do not know what the night scene is like in the area, so proceed with caution if youre going that late.If you are driving, you are going to need to consider parking somewhere. Late at night there are going to be spots on the street, but during the day I would imagine you would need to try to find a parking garage somewhere nearby.
Whats to say... Its the iconic bull.This was the only place where I ran into a line to wait. The funny thing while I was waiting is the line in front of him, ladies. The guys were lined up in back. Definitely can get some fun pics here.
Can it get any more iconic than Wall Street charging bull? People come in hoards to get the photo clicked. I would love to mention here the statue of brave girl standing in front of the bull. Would have loved to click both of them in one frame but could not get chance due to crowd
I couldnt believe the line to take a pic next to this! Gotta love tourists!
I rate a 4 stars as this is a very crowded place with lots of tourists. But the charging bull or bull of wall-street is worth to see in New York of course. You will choose if you want to spend some time lining to get a picture of the full bull. Personally we didnt and were thrilled to see it.
One of the iconic spots of New York, but there is a long line to wait if you want to get a close photo.
Good but no place to take pictures. The sculpture is great. Love it.
This place is listed 3 times on the map. But be ready for a line to take a picture. People wasted tons of ti.e and were taking a lot of different pictures when we were there. Opted for a picture from the other side. Grabbed this one from a fleeting moment when people just walked away. Line was about 50 feet.
It’s just a photo op but there’s always a line of people waiting to take a pic so it’s difficult to get a solo pic of you and the bull or just the bull. Top tourist site but it’s a lot of hype for just a decent pic. Had to crop the people out of my pic.
Super crowded and over hyped. There is no place to sit in this part of the financial center , some would point out that there is a park right opposite the bull , but this park shuts down after 6 or 7 PM so its kinda useless. Touch the bull from behind for some good luck. Also be ready to wait in line.
People were lined up waiting to take a picture touching the balls of the bronze bull in front of the NYSE
It was a place that I didn’t remember when I planned my trip and it was worth it. The statue is enormous and it really seems that the bull is a real one and the fury is in it’s eyes. If you come to New York and walk through Wall Street is a must to stop by!!
Wall Street Charging Bull.. Popular tourist attraction in the New York City and always crowded. People stand in line to get the pics. Near to it you will find museum, Broadway shows, south ferry station, trinity church and NY Stock Exchange in a walkable distance.
Amazing little place to walk by. Lots of people taking photos, and gorgeous view of the deep city south. Walking distance from a bay view of the Statue of Liberty.
Its quite a bizarre thing to me that people actually take pictures with the bull, but I saw many people taking photos with the back of the bull if you understand me ....well, famous places...
It was not crowded as it was before the pandemic. It was a quite place at 8:00 pm. You can take pics as you can and there is enough light to take good pics at night. But everyone takes the masks off to take pics
Great to take pictures and you should buy a suvenier I got 3 for 10 $
Its a good location close to Wall Street, attracts a lot of attention especially from foreigners and tourists. Gets congested by the day and becomes harder to take a photo as the day goes on. My recommendation would be, visit early mornings, its much more easier and better
This statue is synonymous with Wall St. and I was impressed at the sheer size of it. People on The Street say youve got to rub the nose, horns and testicles of the bull for good luck which seems to be very popular. Get there early as there are long queues every day. Its a bit of a disappointment that they relocated the Fearless Girl I thought the 2 statues complemented each other.
Pictures with my daughter here made for one of the best experiences on our trip to NYC this past summer. If you are looking to get some intimate time with this creature though, you’ll have to get up pretty early in the morning! By 5:30am there were already 20 or so people out taking pictures with the bull! This iconic symbol is not only special to families like mine, who work in the financial field, but surprisingly very popular to foreigners who truly admire our economic structure! It’s truly such an eclectic mass of people! It was wonderful to see and have such easy access to! So glad my daughter had the chance to prove herself such a perfectly fearless girl.
Iconic place for anyone who in Finance industry!
Be prepared to stand in line if you want to take a picture with the bull!
Interesting to see. Bit of a line up to get a photo with the bull if you want a photo but not really needed in my opinion.
I dont know why people like the place so much. Its not really close to anything (a long drive in the subway and you need to walk for a few minutes from the station too). Its just a statue, and its packed with tourists too.
Slightly overrated in huge tourist attraction. There was a line in the front of the bull to take a picture with its face and a picture in the rear to take pictures with balls haha. Cool to see but not sure if its worth your time to stand in line as it can get quite long.
A great photo spot for New York tourists. However it is always crowded. It is impossible to pose with the bull without people around. Typically, there are two groups of people stand on each side of the bull to pose for photos. Additionally, a set of people go behind the bull to hold the bulls balls to pose for photos. Dont know what kind of luck is coming from holding balls. But some sort of people enjoy it.
Cool! Especially If You Are Bullish ;)
Something to look at whilst in passing. Its in the middle of a road that forks. It was super crowded when we went because there was some Haitian celebration thing going on right by there bull. It was so packed we couldnt even get close to the bull for solo pictures. Dont go on three weekend is you want solo pictures.
A fun place! It’s New York City’s signature place. A popular photo spot. Located in Wall Street Area. You must visit this place when you are in NYC. I took two trains from Time Square to this location. The bull represents the courage and can-do-spirit of all Americans.
Loved being able to see it in person but way too crowded for good pictures. Be prepared to stand in line to take a picture (either end).
Touristic place ,expect long lines to take a photo with the bull ,the place has a lot of gift shops near it and you can walk to the 9/11 memorial from there it’s not far.
Looks like lot of brass smell and no one really seems to clean itCome on man ! Give some respect to the bullNight time that area seems like a dead end spot with lot of construction zones barricades
Packed when I was there around 9 am - but wondering why they moved the girl?
Such a fun photo opp!! I recommend going at night so you don’t have to wait long
This was the photo I came from TX to NY for 😄. LOVE IT!!!
Picture perfect spot when in Financial District.
Worths a visit. Go early so you can have it to yourself
One of the touristy spots in New York City.If possible visit at night to avoid long queues for pictures.I visited at midnight so it was just me, my friends and a few handful of other people.
Its a neat picture to take. Its not that far off from Wall St, so it adds to your walking tour and experience.
Crowded most of the time with people trying to take a snap. Worth a watch as you mat have seen it in television. But nothing is much interesting here apart from the big buildings it is surrounded by.
This statue is located between Trinity Church and South Ferry on Broadway Street. Its made of Bronze and is huge. There are lot of lights around the statue from the high rise buildings. This makes it easier to take photos during night as well. Dare enough to take a photo with Bulls rear. Must visit if you are walking towards South Ferry. Nearest metro station is Bowling Green Station. Insta #agmav
The landmark of wealth in the world, the ceiling of the financial world, is enviable
Always on our list of must see attractions in New York City whenever we are visiting downtown. The only downside is that over the years it has gained a lot of popularity and there is a lot of crowd around it. So you can hardly see the Bull completely with people covering it from all sides. See attached pictures. There are also huge lines to take a photo next to the bull especially on the backside :) I suggest seeing the bull and taking a picture next to one of the souvenirs!!! A good camera person can make it work
Apparently it is superstition that if you run the bulls balls it will bring you good luck.
Very cool to see this icon. It was Feb 1, absolutely freezing outside. Lol, my hand went numb for 10 mins from touching bare handed the brass sculpture and the windchill. People from all over the world come to see this iconic statue. It was neat to see so many enjoying this statue.
“lucky to have a pic with it... ;) overcrowded....” -While going to ferry/ NYC stock exchange/ Wall st. you can stop by for it.very well build ...the aggression of bull, symbol of wall st .but yes, overcrowded, you have to wait 20 odd minutes for a pic with it.you can take a souvenir from nearby vendors.
Just because it’s a Wall Street symbol it’s famous but if you missed it for some reason it’s ok I feel .But you could cover it’s good 😊
This is very close to the Battery Park. A 5 minute walk. There are queues to click selfies with the bull; one from the front and the other frkm behind. It will take you an hour to get your turn. There are good restaurants nearby.
Too crowded considering pandemic period. Just a picture and bye..
Iconic photo spot but can have long waiting lines
Iconic sculpture of NYC. The Charging bull is located in Wall Street area and you can reach it by walk (from One World Trace Center) or by Subway. Super suggested it._______________________________________________________________________Charging Bull, which is sometimes referred to as the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull, is a bronze sculpture that stands in Bowling Green in the Financial District in Manhattan, New York City.The sculpture was created by Sicilian artist Arturo Di Modica. On December 14, 1989 Di Modica arrived on Wall Street with Charging Bull on the back of a truck and illegally dropped the sculpture outside of the New York Stock Exchange. The sculpture was conceived in the wake of the 1987 Black Monday stock market crash. Having arrived penniless in the USA in 1970, Di Modica felt indebted to America for welcoming him and enabling his career as a successful sculptor. Charging Bull was his gift back to America and intended to inspire each person who came into contact with it to carry on fighting through the hard times after the market crash for a brighter future.[3]Di Modica would later recount to the art critic Anthony Haden Guest My point was to show people that if you want to do something in a moment things are very bad, you can do it. You can do it by yourself. My point was that you must be strong
Wow. This bull is impressive. It is massove. Being there you can feel the power that this thing is supposed to represent. It is worth the visit and go at night. There arent a lot of people there crowding around you trying to take pictures too.Ok that is the positive. Will someone destroy that little girl in front of the statute. It ruins the experience. It is sad to see that the city of New York allows their art to be desecrated for a political message. THIS. BULL REPRESENTS A LOT OF THINGS about the market and its power... the girl in front of the denigrates that by suggesting that a little girl is more powerful than the market. Huh? It goes against what the original message was.
What’s not to love about the bull?! A must for any tourist visiting the area or even native New Yorkers. You definitely also need to check out the “Fearless girl” statute. She stands right in front of the bull with her hands to the side ready to confront the bulls’s fury. Be forewarned that there’s always a line to grab a pic with the bull during the hours of about 9am to 6pm. On any given day there are about 60ppl lined up wanting a picture with the great bull that represents the strength of our financial markets.
Amazing larger than life bull made of bronze. It is worth to have a quick look at this as well if you visit New York City as this is an iconic sculpture in NYC in my opinion. I happened to go to this place at night and there were not much crowd so it was bit easier to take a picture with this.
This attraction is close to the occulus, the charging bull, and the battery park. Theres no parking onsite. I would suggest to just walk if you are around the financial district.
Great place, it’s free off charge, one of the greatest symbols of US economy located close to Wall st. Morning time is not crowded that much so is much easier to make pictures.
Charging Bull is a popular tourist destination that draws thousands of people a day, symbolizing Wall Street and the Financial District. The sculpture was created by Italian artist Arturo Di Modica in the wake of the 1987 Black Monday stock market crash.The Charging Bull (also referred to as the Wall Street Bull) is a massive 7,100-pound bronze sculpture located in the Financial District in New York City. At 11 feet tall and 16 feet long, the aggressive bull is an unmistakable tribute to power and prosperity.An iconic landmark that has long symbolized the most well-known and powerful stock exchange market in the world. Its rumoured that touching its jewels will bring you wealth or back to New York!A trip to New York isnt complete without visiting the Charging Bull. Its just a short stroll from the NYSE but you need to seek it out as its not in the most obvious spot.
One of the major tourist attractions in NYC. In December of 1989, the charging bull brought to the city and installed it under the Christmas tree in front of the New York Stock Exchange, as a gift to New York. NYPD briefly impounded the sculpture, but after the public protested, the NYC Parks Department officially installed it in Bowling Green Park a week later. In its final state, it weighed over three and a half tons.
It’s a bull sculpture and it does its job well. If you plan to visit, know that 30 people have the same idea as you and be patient.
Another great city icon. Personally I loved this for what it stands for and the strength it shows. So it was important foe us to see this. However, be prepared for a crowd of people, there was a lot of respect for each other here though. Everyone took turns at getting photos and not getting in others photos from different positions on the bull
Located in the financial district near the famous wall Street. It is always way to crowded and sometime you might hate the feeling. People were super excited to get themselves clicked with the bull and with the balls as well. People consider it lucky to touch/hold the ball of the charging bull.
It is a world famous spot, but not a must place to visit. If you are interested in the Wall Street or if you are planning to see the Statue of Liberty (which you should), you could take a quick stop for a quick photo. More often than not, there will be a lot of people lined up to take a photo with the bull.
The famous charging bull sculpture in wall street you simply cant visit new York without taking a couple of photos with this famous new York sculpture.its also said it it brings good luck.
Great place for photo opportunity and has quaint shops around the NYSE area. Close to the Seaport.
Nice statute to stop by and do a quick look, the statue is well built and the detailed design is cool. I really like the author’s idea, he wants every person to be stronger in any situation like the energetic bull.
A picture with it is supposed to bring you good luck. Though most were taking a photo towards the rear....
Take any subway to reach Wall Street station and 5-10 mins walk would take you here. Recently the girl posing in front of the bull has been relocated to new location.
Too busy place, a must-go destination, always full of People, vibrant ambient full of beautifull People. Will wait in lime a Lot.
The Charging Bull commonly called the Wall Street Bull. There is a line to take pictures but it moves quick, usually two lines actually. You can take a picture in the front “grabbing the bull by the horns” or you can take one in the back… with the balls.
What a special symbol of western culture. It is easily accessible and lines were short.
You have to visit the Charging Bull!!! Please keep in mind that a lot of tourists visit the bull every day and its only possible to take pictures alone if you are there early in the morning. Otherwise you will have a picture with hundrets of peoplesIts a magic place and i loved it ✌🏻
Always want to visit this place. I really enjoyed taking my photo with the bull. It was very easy to locate off of MTA transit.
Cool to see. There was a line so didnt get a great photo, however I got a few from afar!
The Charging Bull. It’s a massive statue of a bull near wall street. It’s overcrowded with tourists struggling to take a nice picture. Maybe going there early in the morning would help you to get the picture you want.
People line up to take photos with the bull! Its a financial symbol of the wall street
Way to full!! Wait 20 min for a photo. Would not recommend
Must see Manhattan attraction, we visit here every time we are in New York City, we usually take Broadway all the way down to battery park that is located just three minutes from there, if you want to take a good photo you need to get here early morning, all other times of the day you would find it hard to get one as the place is as crowded as it can get, iconic nyc/Wall Street symbol, Do Not Miss
A must-see in New York’s FiDi. The charging bull attracts crowds of tourists for a picture - be sure to get there early or you’ll wait for a couple of moments to get your selfie next to the bronze symbol of Wall Street.
Unfortunately I didnt catch the testis because the places was crowded. They said youll be lucky if you catch it. I say Im lucky to visit NY 😁
You will stay in line for some time if you wanna take a picture with the Bull. And there are two lines, one for the front and one for the rear of the bull!! The pic shows how crowded it was during my visit!
Super famous bull statue
We went there but there was a huge line to take pics. I thoroughly found it overrated considering that you are in NY city and you have plenty of better places to take pics. We took the pic but a little sideways. Didnt bother to take it right on front of the bull where I would have wasted 3 to 4 of my precious hours
The Charging Bull :This three-and-a-half-ton bronze sculpture Charging Bull sits proudly in New York City’s financial district, symbolizing “the power of the American people” and representing the spirit of New York where anyone can come, work hard and succeed.The use of a charging bull is no accident. The bull is a symbol of a strong stock market in which participants are optimistic and confident. The theory is that euphoric investor psychology causes investors to buy more and more, driving the market higher.Many onlookers—from tourists to brokers to traders—believe that the 16-foot-long sculpture brings luck, prosperity and a good financial day, but on one condition: You have to rub the bull in the rear on his testicles, famously known as the “Bulls Balls.”
Make sure you go early in the day. Long queues there. I would rather stand on the side and take a picture. Nothing really much. If you got to see a statue then after this go to wall street and check the fearless girl statue, which was earlier placed opposite charging bull statue however was subsequently removed on backlash from the sculptor of fearless girl.
Located at one of the prime districts in New York!Honestly, it’s just a bull. But it’s quite interesting if you know the story behind it. Do read up if not it would be just another statue with a photo opportunity!Do note that there will Be a lot of people around queuing up for to take a photo with the bull.
Great quick selfie attraction. Security is high in the area which at night you can appreciate. We walked by during the day but the lines to take a picture were quite long.
Huge attraction, the only place that I have experienced where people stood in a long line to get their picture taken touching the bulls testicles.
Nice place. There is so much to do in NYC. Charging Bull is one such spot. DO NOT miss stopping by the place.IF you want a picture with the bull try going in the morning like really early morning or late night, those are the only times the bull is left alone...lol! There is always a huge line and is almost always crowded. Its in the financial district so you can either do wall street combo or stop by on your way to Statue of libertys ferry which is right across the street. I wish someone told me this could have saved us an evening.
Go kiss this bulls balls. It will allegedly give you good fortune for the year to come. Theres a long line for pictures usually but you can squeeze past if youre quick.
So cool to see! Highly recommended going as early as you can that way you can get some really cool pictures without all the crowds.
A beautiful statue, lots of tourists climbing in top of it. Difficult to take a picture of it without interference.
A well designed and sculpted piece of artwork, definitely a hot-spot for art enthusiasts. You will have a great time visiting if you are with your family or friends!
There are usually two lines, one for the front and one for the back.
Definitely a must see if you are in the financial district. My hotel was 2 streets away so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with this big brass bull. Its definitely an icon - everyone has varying oppions some more political than others.I went by before dinner and there is a long line so I thought Ill come back later and there were still a long line. Jumped in line took about 10 minutes for my turn; I took the photo for the family in front of me and the family behind me took my photo. I went by the next day in the morning around 8 and no one was out there so I think the tourist really get going around 9:00 a.m.
The statue is beautiful and beautifully preserved. Located in the Wall Street area. It is almost impossible to take a picture of the statue itself. Always a lot of people around it. Many times you have to stand in line to take a picture.
I loved seeing the sites of NYC I just wish I would have know that there was a line to take pictures of EVERYTHING. LOL
A unique attraction on the streets of New York, however very crowded. You can take pictures from the front and the back of the bull. Both sides you will find a long queue. You will have to stand at least for 10-15 mins in each line
The sculpture was created by Italian artist Arturo Di Modica in the wake of the 1987 Black Monday stock market crash. On December 14, 1989, Di Modica arrived on Wall Street with Charging Bull on the back of a truck and illegally dropped the sculpture outside of the New York Stock Exchange Building. After being removed by the New York City Police Department later that day, Charging Bull was installed at Bowling Green a week later. Despite initially having only a temporary permit to be located at Bowling Green, Charging Bull became a popular tourist attraction.
If you’re someone that’s into investing or just a lover of the arts, the bull is a must visit. It was really cool walking down Wall Street and then seeing the iconic statue.There are two separate lines for pictures when you get there. The first is for a picture with the front of the bull and the other is for the… back… the lines were each about 30 minutes long. When it’s sunny, the statue is roasting hot. So, if you’re going to hop on the bull for a picture, you’ve been warned!
Super popular spot at any time of the day. You have to see the bull and get good luck anytime you visit NYC. Its located right next to a subway entrance which is super convenient.
Feels different than what we see in movies. Its a iconic statue and is always a busy place with people clicking pictures.
This place is a classic NYC staple! 🗽 The Charging Bull 🐂 is a must visit for anyone touring around Wall Street. No wonder it was featured in so many movies 🎬 and TV shows 📺! Make sure to take a selfie 🤳 and walk around the financial district. 💱 I wish I came here more often!
As it turns out running with the bull isnt as hard, or dangerous, as I was lead to believe. I found it quite easy to run circles around this symbol of free range capitalism. But if course the stories that we all share about free market capitalism always leave out the parts where its far from free market. It is however free from repercussions when it acts irresponsibly. Its free from failure too, when the government bails its sorry sack out after greed and corruption bring it to its knees. Some day we will all wake up and realize we can collectively change how this system functions for everyone.
Too much people in this spot waiting to take pictures. had a nice time taking rest after a long day of walking. just sit and research the history of this place.
If you like stocks, this is must visit. New York City’s signature place. Located in Wall Street Area. You must visit this place when you are in NYC. Took two trains from Time Square to this location.
Charging Bull, sometimes referred to as the Bull of Wall Street or the Bowling Green Bull, is a bronze sculpture that stands on Broadway just north of Bowling Green in the Financial District of Manhattan in New York City
It was a great attraction. You cannot visit New York without stopping by the Charging Bull. There were loads of tourists from all over the Country as well as the World. Everyone snapping photos and waiting for their turn to get a photo standing next to the Bull. There were street foods and vendors all around the area too, which made the attraction much more interesting. We enjoyed it.
Not the same without Fearless Girl (shes been moved to stare down the Stock Exchange).Also, if you insist on touching the bulls balls, make sure you go online/make the queue/ whatever, just play nice with the other kids and wait your turn. Its serious big business every.damn.time. I go past and maybe use some hand sanitizer.
Iconic must visit
It is amazing to go there for these times and take a pic just you and the bull... 💪
Less tourists than usual.After 10.30am is when tourists usually start coming
Usually, a popular tourist destination, this iconic bronze sculpture located at the northern-most tip of the Bowling Green park in downtown Manhattan stood virtually deserted at the height of the pandemic in May 2020 when I took this photo. Everyone who ever visited Wall Street felt obliged to snap a photo of this unofficial symbol of the Financial District since 1989.
Great and very crowded, not get time to take pic...
It’s a beautiful sculpture but it may be a little too crowded. You may have to make a line to take a picture.
Unique monument. You may see queue of visitor for picture. If you are in hurry go on side and click a pic
To much crowd all the time can’t take good picture if you go there in weekends.
A good place to reflect on how greed has shaped our civilization
Go early or late, I managed to get a pretty good photo by getting there late at night but otherwise, as others have said, it is completely beset by tourist hordes. The statue itself is impressive and obviously pretty iconic so definitely worth seeing.
Lots of tourists come here for a photo with Charging Bull statue. Long line waiting sometimes if you need to take photos in front of the Bull. You can consider to take photo from the back as some tourists do
Iconic place in Manhattan but very crowded, there were two lines to touch the bull
Mystical place, with all its tradition of wealth and money, it is worth the visit, it is worth the photo for remembrance I recommend, it had a long line to be able to take a photo. A Wall Street, vale a pena a visita, você consegue relembrar cenários de filmes muito bacana
Charging Bull statue is a NYC symbol and a Capitalism symbol in general, and I love it! 👊🏻 😍💰Here is a tip, come to that area somewhere after 10-11pm, don’t worry, you won’t be mugged. But you will find much more relaxed atmosphere, almost no people, great photo ops and just enjoyable to walk around the financial district. New York City is more romantic with nightlights on! There are few bars in a area that stay open late and 24/7 McDonald on Broadway, if you want a budget snack.I included photo of a spot taken at 11:38pm as an evidence.Cheers!
It was alright. Basically the charging bull on Wall Street. There were heaps of people here queuing up for a photo shoot. Its one of the landmarks here in New York so probably should come here at least once and check it out. It is close to World Trade Centre by walking a few blocks if you are up for abit of a stroll.
Always filled with many tourists. I hope there’s some management or organization to manage those mass. But still, I love that bull ;)
Iconic place. Wall Street symbol. Capitalist Free word symbol. Great.
This is an interesting photo opportunity. Many people stand in line just to take a picture of themselves handling the bulls genitalia. I opted for a photo with his head...and the line was a lot shorter on that end!
Amazing , larger than life, detailed sculpture of a charging bull. Only issue is the long queue you have to wait to take a proper picture.Nonetheless worth the wait.
For some reason it was covered up with a tarp but it was still cool to by there and see it even if it was covered up.
A Must See! Go Early before 8am to get a decent photo as it could get crowded in the later morning and afternoons
It was super crowded and cold windy. As expected people were crowding like zombies not leaving any window around to take pictures. no fear of covid as well. If going with kids in Dec or Jan layered them up in multiple clothes and snow suit. It gets super cold in NY because of wind.
Queues to take pictures are insane. People queuing onto the main road, which is really dangerous as cars and buses drive past. Queues are self policed - no attendants, but all in good order.

2022-05-23If youre ever around Wall St., you have check out the charging bull. Just have some patience if youre visiting during a weekend because theres always a line to take pictures in front of and in the back of the bull. But it is pretty cool. The sculpture is open to the public.

2022-06-07Must see if you are in Wall Street area! This bronze, “The Charging Bull” represents a strong and prosperous financial market. It was made in 1989. It is usually very busy unless you visit early. People are great about taking turns to take pictures in the front or in the back! LOL!

2021-12-27A great place to visit. Bull are good. There is a superstition that if you rub the bulls testicllleees,.it brings good luck. So there is a much longer line from behind instead of front. The night view is amazing.

2022-05-14The Charging Bull is a bronze sculpture located on Broadway, at Bowling Green in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, NY. It’s also known as the Bull of Wall Street or the Bowling Green Bull. It symbolizes aggressive financial optimism and prosperity. Charging Bull is a popular tourist destination that draws thousands of people a day, symbolizing Wall Street and the Financial District. Whenever I pass by, it’s always full of tourists taking photos and videos. I was lucky to get this one without people. I have posted a couple of more photos of the Bull from all angles. Did you know that the sculpture weighs 7,100 lbs?

2021-12-29Awesome. Theres a saying...catch the bull by it tail. The queue for photos is longer at the tail end than in the front. Holding its testicles first... brings fortune, is the belief. So first back view.. then front. 😜😉

2022-02-05Nothing much to see it’s just a bull where people come to take pictures with its balls more than the bull it self.It was a boring experience so adding many more photos from the trip.

2022-06-23Nowhere else in the world youll stand in line to touch and cuddle bulls testicles.But, many people do it here - in downtown Manhattan.Huge bull bronze statue stands on a small square in front of the American Indian museum (in the ex Customs house), and thats the prime attraction where even organized tours with a guide come ??!!Its a nice statue, representing American people strength and endurance, but rather a pass by quick photo op.

2022-07-08It’s the Wall Street icon. Everyone is here to touch the bull’s jewels. However, I strongly encourage you not to risk it during this Covid period.There is always a queue during the weekend to touch them.
