Okay families, if you are already hearing the kids saying “I’m bored” even though summer hasn’t even started, this is your sign to plan a little weekend adventure. 

Clark’s Bears is officially opening for weekends starting this weekend, Saturday May 23rd and honestly, it’s one of those amazing New England visits that somehow keeps both kids and adults entertained the entire time! 

If you’ve never been, picture this, old-school family fun tucked right into the White Mountains. I'm talking train rides, live shows, little attractions everywhere, and yes… actual bears. 

Clark’s Bears Is the Family Getaway You Need

The stars of the famous Bear Show are Hilda and Darla, and people genuinely love them.

Watching the over 200 pound bears perform is one of those childhood memories so many New England families grew up with, and now a whole new generation gets to experience it. 

But there’s so much more than just the bear show. 

Kids can ride the White Mountain Central Railroad through “Wolfman territory,” cool off on the blaster boats, climb the Old Man Climbing Tower, and catch the acrobatic circus performances throughout the day. 

And honestly? It’s the kind of place where the kids crash hard on the drive home because they completely exhausted themselves in the best way possible.
