Review:
Set on top of Vista Rock in New York's Central Park, Belvedere Castle is a miniature castle that offers stunning views of the surrounding park and the city skyline.
It was originally intended to be nothing more than a beautiful tourist attraction, and although it's now used as an official weather station, visitors are still welcome to come and enjoy the views from the top of the two-story staircase that leads to the top of the castle.
Since 1983, the castle has also housed a nature observatory filled with microscopes, paper mâché bird replicas, and other objects of interest.
