It's actually a whimsical bronze sculpture located in Central Park, created by artist José de Creeft in 1959.
The sculpture is inspired by Lewis Carroll's classic tale, with Alice sitting on a giant mushroom surrounded by other characters like the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit.
Children are encouraged to climb and explore the sculpture, making it a popular spot for families visiting Central Park.
The bronze has been worn smooth over the years by countless children climbing on it, giving it a unique sheen.
It was donated by George Delacorte in memory of his wife, Margarita, who loved the story of Alice in Wonderland.
Lines from Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky" are engraved around the sculpture's base, adding a literary touch.
It's located near the Conservatory Water, a popular spot for model boat sailing, adding to the artistic and recreational appeal of the area.
