Stopped here to rent segways and check out the black bear show. Great spot to relax and ride the train, the girls loved the segway ride and the gift shop.

pretty expensive for pretty unexciting time. Their "rides" are rather lame, but the bears are cute.

Ive been going to Clarks Trading Post for many years. My family took me when I was a child and I have enjoyed bringing my own children several times over the years. Great day of fun. The bear show is spectacular. Watch out for the Wolfman!

We went here with our 2 year old. The bear show is great and it's a great place to hang out with your family. They have all types of attractions that appeal to all ages. The train ride is a must!
