Clark's Bears
Clark's Trading Post
A roadside attraction run by the same family for nearly a century, famous for well-trained black bear shows, with a steam train and a nostalgic museum.
Clark's Trading Post has operated on the northern outskirts of Lincoln since 1928. Its signature attraction is the black bear show, held several times a day. Other attractions include a steam train that runs through a covered bridge, where a 'Wolfman' character greets passengers, an antique car barn, a fire museum, bumper boats and a climbing wall. Admission is about 30 US dollars, and children under 3 enter free, making it suitable for family outings. It operates seasonally and closes in winter. Animal shows are controversial, so visitors who object can enjoy just the train and the museums.
