Delacorte Clock, Musical clock at Central Park Zoo entrance, US
The Delacorte Clock stands on a three-tiered tower featuring bronze animals, including monkeys, penguins, and hippos that rotate while playing musical instruments.
George T. Delacorte Jr, a publisher and philanthropist, commissioned this clock in 1965 as a gift for the children of New York City.
The clock performs a selection of 44 different nursery rhymes and children's songs, creating regular musical performances throughout the day at Central Park.
Located at East 64th Street entrance, the clock provides musical entertainment every thirty minutes between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM daily.
The Central Park Conservancy updated the clock mechanism to a digital format in 2017, enhancing the reliability of its musical performances.
