I was there in 1970 with my family ..on our way home from NH White Mountains summer vacation.I also remember going on a field trip ...in about 1967 ..2nd grade to Benson's ..Loved my trips there.
Thanks Sasha for posting this!! Wow, what a trip back in time! Yes, we went here as kids! I'm 55 now, but I sure remember the old place! The Gorilla in particular! And the old shoe! I'm gonna have to back here! Great old memories!
No way! You worked there! I may have seen you! That's the time we went to! Great place! I can still see the Gorilla in its cage now, in my mind! I really must check this place out!
This was definitely one of my favorite spots I visited on my last trip to New England. Loved the various trails and history behind this zoo. I’m eager to go out there again. I’m not sure if California has abandoned zoos, but it’s definitely something worth looking into.
This is the coolest spot in southern NH that I've ever been to. Take a stroll through Benson Park with me!

I used to work at Benson's when I was in High School 1979-1980

I went there with my group but it was the exact same place my parents, my Aunt and Uncle went to when they were kids before it was abandoned
I went there when I was a kid in the early 80’s.

It is such a neat hidden spot! Ooh I wonder if southern Cali has any. Worst case, you need a day at the San Diego zoo 😂
This looks like a cool place, and it's only about an hour from me! I really like the jumpy intro, very professional!
Thank you! Thought I’d try a new intro style for this one! Oh wow, only an hour, you should probably check it out sometime then 🙃
I have a picture of my sister standing on the shoe in the fifties. Great place.
Went there as a kid been there recently
Why would you even go there now. Depressing graveyard that the activists murdered
