In celebration of International Geocaching Day, we are providing you with a very fortunate day - one which you will be sure to remember. During the day, we will bring you to three of Nashua, NH's finest parks, with the final event being held at a wonderful park in Hudson NH. After each event, there will be time for you to do some Geocaching before the next event begins.

Please note: You are not required to attend all of the events if you choose not to. If you are participating in the game, then it will be a benefit for you to attend all of the events. Also, you do not have to play the game if you choose not to. Even if you are not playing the game, you can attend each event so you can sign the log book.
Also, due to the limited amount of time at the cache mob events, there will be no discovering of trackables until the final event. You are welcome to drop off trackables at any of the events and we will bring them to the final.

About Benson’s Park
Benson’s Animal Farm, later known as New England Playworld closed in November 1987. It remained unchanged since the closing of the park until around 2002 when it started to be refurbished into a city park.
The zoo was founded by John Benson in 1924 as an animal-training center, and was opened to the public in 1926 with animal exhibits, a miniature train, games and exhibits. It was expanded in 1932-33 with the addition of a permanent Wild Animal Circus.
A special "Jungle Train" ran from Boston to Hudson on Sundays, with admission to Benson's included in the ticket price. By 1934 the parking lot could accommodate 5,200 cars. In 1940 animal trainer Joe Arcaris began his association with the zoo, performing acts with lions and other animals till the late 1970s.
Re-opened to the public May 2010 Wholly owned by the Town of Hudson, NH. Chemical toilets are available for the public all year long other then Winter, they are located to the right of the old Gorilla House.
