Benson's Wild Animal Farm was a long-running private zoo and amusement park in Hudson, New Hampshire.
It closed in 1987, after having been renamed New England Playworld for its final year. The state of New Hampshire acquired the property in 1989, and much of the land is now preserved.
Sold in 1979 to Arthur Provencher.
