How To Get There

Hans Christian Andersen statue in Central Park

The statue of Hans Christian Andersen is located on the west side of the Conservatory Pond (the small duck & sail-boat pond just north of the East 72nd Street entrance to Central Park). This is the same pond that the statue of Alice in Wonderland stands by.
The pond is just at the bottom of the winter sledding hill popularly known as Pilgrim Hill for the statue that stands there.
