We visited Clark's Trading Post back in 2008 so I don't know if Tripadvisor will allow this review but we had such a great time here I wanted to see if they'll let me post. We were on a New England camping trip back in August of 2008 visiting, MA, VT, and finally NH. When I was little I remember... More

The bear show is very good but get a seat early or you won't get one. I think it is pretty expensive to get in for what is there. The food isn't the best either. My kids enjoyed the train ride but they are younger and the guy chasing the train freaked them out a bit.

The bear show is as good as you would see at a top knotch place like Sea World. The family/owners seem to truly love their bears and the bears show their affection for them too. The train ride is entertaining mainly for the youngsters, if you don't have, you can skip this part of the park. The area is clean... More

Bear show was great and so is merlins mansion. Take the train ride and shop in the trading post. Food is expensive so pack a lunch if your on a budget. Families with teens, don''t waste your time they will be bored. This is geared for the younger famlies.

Thank you for your review! We were delighted you enjoyed the Bear Show, Train Ride and Merlin's Mansion. They are fun for people of all ages. Teens at Clark's really enjoy riding the Segway's, cooling off on the Blaster Boats and scaling the six routes on the Climbing Tower. Tickets include all rides, all shows, all day, which makes Clark's... More

Fun for the whole family. Not a lot of walking to get to the different attractions which is good for the little. Not a lot of money to get in or eat. Love the bears!!!!

Amazingly good bear show and circus act for a small town in NH. They have bumper boats, a train, segways, a rock wall and a couple of rides too. Great for kids.

I have been telling people for year's this is not to be missed! The Clark family has a reputation for excellence that is hard to match. From the bear show which includes a lesson on nature to the train ride with Wolfman & everything in between, you will not be disappointed no matter what your age. If you don't go... More

Perfect for families, especially with younger kids. But, even those without kids will have fun wandering around this park.

One of the first places the kids want to go is Clark's. They love the Bear Show, the water bumper cars, Merlin's, etc. Rates are reasonable. There's a nice area for eating outside. You can bring your own food in if you want.
