More than a million people have been to Central Park to see the Christo Gates. “An estimated 350,000 people visited the park on Saturday’s opening day; even more – 450,000 – came Sunday. Rain reduced crowds on Monday, the conservancy said, but noted that 200,000 visited on Tuesday, when U.S. First Lady Laura Bush was among those in attendance. By comparison, the park typically receives 65,000 visitors a day during weekends in February. In the spring during the city’s busy tourist season, the park receives about 250,000 visitors a day on weekends.”
