John Lennon was a wonderful man with great musical talent. What happened to him was heartbreaking even after all these years. Visiting this memorial is a tribute to a great man in a great city by a lovely Strawberry Field, Central Park. Join us at the memorial and feel the freedom to dance, mourn, cry or sing.

There is always something to see here. Musicians perform, flowers are arranged, kids play, lovers canoodle ... it is worth a walk-through for the photo op.

Dude beat his wife. In terms of the actual memorial itself, it had a lot of people and was a bit disappointing to my friend who liked to Beatles, and I agree too.

This memorial was really beautiful. It was packed with people when I went and it was so lovely to see that decades later John Lennon, and his belief in humanity, is still making an impact in people’s lives. There was someone playing a pretty bad rendition of “Imagine” while we were there, that was pretty upsetting—specially because it’s supposed to be a quiet area—other than that, everything else was really special.

A landscaped section of Central Park remembering John Lennon and his legacy. Always a very busy part of the park. In one corner youll find the memorial mosaic with the caption Imagine. Bring flowers and remember Johns words. Take a walk around.Strawberry Fields lays close to the Dakota Building.

It is an emblematic place where many people spend a moment thinking about John Lennon and his legacy, some leave flowers, letters, among others. A very nice place to meditate and think about the beautiful things in life. Recommendable.

Is a very important and Historical place, when you arrive is always full of people, is a place with some kind of magic, art is in the air, and some artists gather to play songs from John Lennon, is a way to remember him.

Review №31

Very very crowded and lacking the requisite reverence. Also, of all the well developed gardens in central park, poor John Lennon got none of this. It is a simple tile mosaic on the ground with absolutely no strawberry fields or any other kind of fields for that matter. Also there was debris and fallen leaves scattered every where. Please please clean up this park attraction.

It is such a beautiful place, I remember I waited for some friends there and there was this man playing a few Beatles songs and when he played Imagine people around the place started to sing with him, it was such a beautiful experience that I would never forget, it felt so paceful and a momebt where we all were equal

I am a big Fan of John Lennon and his music. So of course i had to visit the memorial in New York. It is a very spiritual and wonderful place for a memorial. Next time i come to New York i will visit it again. Imagine.

Interesting, peaceful, special place where people go to think, relax, or listen to others singing or playing the guitar. I only gave it 3 stars, though, because I found the mosaic to be very ordinary and not what I expected. Something less sullen-looking with a little more life and color would do a better job, in my opinion.

Located on the west side of Central Park, this is a beautiful and peaceful place. Its hard to imagine John Lennon was killed on west 72nd right in front of that wonderful old apartment building, the Dakota thirty-seven years ago now. The Imagine monument in the park is a very must place ti visit and sit.

From my experience, its very difficult to get close or a good picture without other people being in the photo, but people were very kind and respective taking turns. I would suggest to sit on one of the surrounding benches and just people watch and listen to all the different languages being spoken. From what I understand, theres always someone around playing guitar and singing and there was a guy doing that while we were there. It makes it interesting and brings people together by singing.

It was neat to see but it wasn’t as magical as I’d thought it would be. If anything it made me sad, it reminded me that John was murdered. Love ya John

As many sights in NYC, it was packed with people pointing their cameras and trying to get their friends into the circle to snap a few shots...It is had to imagine that most of these people actually think about the significance of what they are taking pictures of...

Review №58

A must visit , when in Central Park!! Across the street is the Dakota building, where John Lenon was kill. This walk must make us think about all the violence that surround us and the impact in our life, we dont want to live with Terri otro be afraid, we all want to live free and in peace. We are all the same and must help each other!! This the Lenon message, embrace it!

Simple memorial in beautiful surrounds. Unfortunately a large number of people were completely inconsiderate and did not treat it with the respect due - standing on and walking over the memorial, pushing others or being inappropriately loud.
