Clark's Trading Post is a gem and a true piece of Americana. My parents took me there when I was a child in the 90s and I continue to visit Clark's as an adult! The park is so well maintained and the classic attractions including the bear show, train ride and Tuttle House never get old to me. I also... More

LOVE Clarks! Love love love Clarks. I can't say it enough. Going to Clarks has been a family tradition for YEARS! I love seeing the bear show and riding the railroad to see Wolfman --- "YOU OLD GOAT!" Family fun to last a lifetime. The park isn't huge, but it's got a lot to offer!

We visited Clark's Trading Post on Father's Day 2013. This is a charming, family-run attraction. It's a nice day's activity for families with young children (ages 5-10 is ideal). The park is very well maintained, and it's extremely clean.

Too early in season for all attractions to be open, but stopped in for the gift shop. Have good quality items, not the usual things you see everywhere.

Since we are on a budget, we only visited the gift shop. The shop was nice and had a lot of stuff to get.

We have been going to the White Mts for years and every year we visit Clark's. The gift shop has some really nice items - not all tourist trash. The bears are always a good show. They are fascinating to see even when not doing a show. You can watch them watching YOU. The people working there are very friendly... More

Tons of things for families to do. Training ride, mining, live bear show, rock climbing wall and segway tours. It was a fun place but it was freezing cold the day we went and raining. Tried not to let it dampen the fun. Would like to go back on a nice weather day.

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.
