The Alice in Wonderland sculpture is located in Manhattan's Central Park, approximately at 74th street, on the north side of Central Park's Conservatory Water. The statue stands eleven feet high and portrays Alice surrounded by the Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat and other characters from the book enjoying a tea party. The statue was created in 1959 by José de Creeft under the commission of George Delacorte, so children could experience Alice in Wonderland in person.
