The bull is cool but the location is not very tourist friendly. They've placed fences around it so you can only take good pictures from its front and there was a long line to do so when we were there at 6 pm.

Famous the world over as the Wall Street Bull, even though it is no longer on Wall Street. Crowds can be a problem as the Tourist Buses visit this Statue on a regular basis, so getting a photo without at least one stranger in it can be a bit of a problem. Definitely worth a visit, and it's free.

The bull is one of those attractions in the financial district that you just have to see. There is always a line of people waiting to get their picture taken with Mr. Bull.

The charging bull is great for photos. It is an interesting monument. If you are in the area, its worth stopping and snapping a few pictures. I recall seeing this bull in The Lighting Thief.

Prepare to queue to take photos! & be considerate with your time as the policeman who's watching will tell you off if you take more than 3 pictures! The fence around the statue spoiled our experience (and photos) a little but we would go back there again maybe early in the morning to avoid queues.

I love the Wall Street Bull - he looks great in photos, it's an impressive sculpture. I recommend you go around 3pm when the morning crowds have died down and there's not so many people standing around it getting photos.

Throughout the world any TV news channel showing News about NYSE would definitely show this bull to start with. Thats why its always so crowded and people flock to it to be clicked with it from every corners. That defines it.
