Things To Do
Capital City Public Market
This is the farmer's market I have been participating in for the past 5 years. I will not be there but check it out if you are downtown! Yummy food and lots of artisan goods! There is also the Boise Farmer's Market, Eagle, and Merdian market.
Greenbelt Access
The Boise River Greenbelt follows its namesake river among towering trees, connecting downtown Boise with neighborhoods and the business district. Leading out of the city both north-west and south-east, the trail connects suburbs with parks and the Lucky Peak State Recreation Area. It is great for walking, jogging, or easy biking.
The Village at Meridian
The Village at Meridian features upscale apparel and specialty retail, fine restaurants and cafes, Village Cinemas, and luxury office space. It is a large outdoor mall area. I would recommend it as a shopping experience versus the Boise Town Square Mall.
Bogus Basin Recreation Area
Bogus is our local ski resort. They likely do not have any events in October but it is a beautiful view and fun to do a little hiking. It is a 45-minute drive from downtown Boise.
Camel's Back Park
A park located in Boise's Northend with where you can take a shirt or long hike. There is also a playground and an outdoor gym. https://www.letsgoboise.com/camels-back-park-boise/
Table Rock
Looking to do a hike in town? Table Rock is a mountain pillar in the western United States, located just south-east of downtown Boise, Idaho, in the foothills of the Boise Range of the Rocky Mountains. Its summit elevation of 3,650 feet above sea level is 900 feet above the city center.
Hyde Park
Historical neighborhood and shopping area in Boise's Northend. A few great places to eat, shop, and one amazing place for a treat; Goody's Goodies!
Bar Gernika
A classic on the Basque block in downtown Boise. This gem is a favorite of Jason & Kylee's. Be sure to try the Croquetas! Jason recommends the Lamb Grinder and Kylee's favorite is the Grilled Cheese with soup or salad.
Yoi Tomo Sushi and Grill
Looking for sushi? Yoi Tomo has been a staple in downtown Boise for years. And yes they have an all you can eat option too!
Madre - Boutique Taqueria
Nontraditional, upscale tacos! close to BSU & the Train Depot. This is one of Jason and Kylee's favorite places for taco night. And yes, get the guacamole!
The Wylder
In the mood for some unique swanky pizza and more? The Wylder has a wide variety of lunch or supper options that include pizza, toasts, salads, and more. Jason recommends the Mushroom toast as an appetizer.
Amsterdam Lounge
Great Happy Hour Friday and the perfect place for small plates and cocktails in downtown Boise. Jason & Kylee's favorite beverage is the Sweet and Sleepy.
Whiskey Bar
One of our favorite places to grab a craft cocktail in downtown Boise is the Whiskey Bar. Kylee and Jason both enjoy the Whiskey Sour WITH egg white. (Kylee likes to sub whiskey for Black Grouse Scotch)
Mountain Biking and Hiking Trails
Boise is known for having numerous bike and hike trails close by. We are not avid hike/bikers but do some Googling for more specific details. The website include is one resource.
Sun Valley (Ketchum)
Ketchum, or more popularly known for the resort, Sun Valley, is another nearby resort town that is a 2.5-hour drive. Another wonderful place for recreation and a cute town to explore. This will be the most likely place in Idaho to spot a celebrity. Again if you are looking to stay, be sure to book accommodations ASAP.
Stanley
If you have the time, it is breathtaking! Not many places to stay here as far as hotels or AirBnb's, mostly camping and even that can fill quickly! Plan ahead if you go to Stanley. The nights in the summer can get into the 30's so come October it can be pretty chilly. Again, if you go, plan and bring warm clothing. It is a 2.75-3 hour drive.
McCall
McCall Idaho is a beautiful resort town about 2.5 hours from Boise. It is a great destination for outdoor recreation and adventure enthusiasts. If you are curious about exploring this area before or after the wedding be sure to book a place to stay ASAP.
