Clark’s
Just north of North Woodstock on US 3, Clark’s has been a traditional family stop since 1928. If the children are bored from too much time in the car, Clark’s has an old-fashioned photo parlor, water-bumper boats, a magic house and a gift shop. Admission includes a 30-minute excursion on a narrow-gauge steam locomotive. The featured attraction is the Bear Show, a sad spectacle starring a team of North American black bear.
