Float On Over to Boise for Top Attractions & Things to Do

Started as a trading post along the Oregon Trail for fur traders and travelers, Boise is now a flourishing capital city with roots in potato farming. The City of Trees attracts families with a vibrant museum culture, foodie-approved farm-to-table eats and beautiful scenery perfect for outdoor recreation. There are numerous ways to enjoy the beautiful landscape, including biking the Boise River Greenbelt, skiing or tubing at Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area and paddleboarding at Boise Whitewater Park. Splash into even more thrills at Roaring Springs Water Park, the northwest’s largest waterpark.

Dive into history at Idaho State Museum, rocks at Idaho Museum of Mining and Geology and interactive science experiments at Discovery Center of Idaho. Visit hundreds of animals, including one of Idaho’s oldest residents, at Zoo Boise, watch a live shark feeding at Aquarium of Boise or become a falcon master for the day at World Center for Birds of Prey. Measure yourself against a life-sized statue of Abe Lincoln and learn about the area at the State Capitol Building. However your frog family decides to spend the time, you’ll be hoppy to be in Boise.
