Central Park is a pivotal backdrop for some of Kevin's adventures and for the Cheerful Elf
The Wollman Rink, where Kevin skates and narrowly escapes from the clutches of Harry and Marv. The rink is surrounded by the city's spectacular towering skyline.
Standing on the bridge, imagine the moment when Kevin cautiously approaches the Pigeon Lady, who becomes a key character in his adventure. The view from Gapstow Bridge offers a stunning panorama of the park, with the Plaza Hotel and other iconic buildings serving as a backdrop.
The Plaza Hotel is a holiday movie classic, filled with memorable moments in the hotel’s grand setting. After arriving in New York alone, Kevin manages to book a luxurious suite with his dad’s credit card, delivering his famous “Credit card, you got it!” line in the lobby. The highlight of his stay is his hilarious encounter with the suspicious concierge, played by Tim Curry, whose efforts to catch Kevin lead to the unforgettable prank scene, “Get down on your knees and tell me you love me!” Throughout his stay, Kevin lives out every kid’s dream, with room service, a grand suite, and a dramatic holiday escape down the Plaza’s festively decorated lobby staircase. Each year, fans visit The Plaza to relive the holiday magic and iconic scenes from Home Alone 2, making it a must-see destination for movie lovers.
Bethesda Terrace is featured in a memorable scene where Kevin runs away from the sticky bandits, Harry and Marv. This iconic location in Central Park, with its stunning architecture and serene surroundings, is a must-see for any fan of the movie.
