The clock in 2017
LocationNew York City, New York, U.S.

The Delacorte Clock, or George Delacorte Musical Clock, is a clock and art installation outside the Central Park Zoo in Central Park, Manhattan, New York. The clock is named after George T. Delacorte Jr., and was dedicated in 1965.[1][2][3]

The clock is mounted on a three-tiered tower above the arcade between the Wildlife Center and the Children's Zoo.[2] The clock contains representations of animals playing instruments, and plays music every half hour, at 0 and 30 minutes past the hour, between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. The clock's music is selected from one of 44 pre-recorded tracks.[3]
