Things To Do
Idaho Botanical Garden
A great place for wildlife , a nice but challenging little day hike up Table rock just beyond the grounds , or a nice prison tour at the old state pen nearby .
The Springs
Love these hot springs . Just a 45 minute drive out of town where you can soak your cares away , book a massage , or relax and take in the scenery .
MK Nature Center - Idaho Fish and Game
Easily accessible for coming off the green belt is the perfect place for nature lovers . You can sit and watch prehistoric sturgeon and fish swim inside a glass case . Sometimes baby deer sit and chill here too . A good place for bird watching as well . The best part ... it’s free !
Meriweather cider house
A cozy place to get yummy cider flights and if that’s not your thing there’s beer across the street .
Diablo & Sons Saloon
We always have a blast here and the food is great too . Located in downtown Boise you can find pretty decent restaurants beer halls wine bars and coffee shops throughout 8th street .
Edwards Greenhouse
We love to visit here just to roam around and look at the beautiful scenery . They have yoga classes if you’re into that and occasionally live music too . Not to mention the beautiful array of tropical plants , flowers , herbs , along with the clean air quality alone . It’s Run on geothermal energy so its always nice and warm . Highly recommended.
Petite 4
Last but not least - If you want really good service and food definitely come here . Don’t let the Location fool you . Nestled in a strip mall building between a graveyard and what appears to be a halfway house , you can bet your bottom dollar that this is the best place to go out to eat in this town . Farm to table style menu , on the pricey side and Reservations for a table are required but it’s totally worth it .
Altitude Trampoline Park
If you need a quick fix of fun I HIGHLY recommend this place especially if you have kiddos with you . You’re bound to pop lock and drop at all the fun .
Sa-Wad-Dee Thai Restaurant
Quite possibly The best Thai food you’ll have yet !
The Village at Meridian
So if you forgot something or need anything clothes wise , this might be the best place . I have to say It’s a bit strange (ESPECIALLY if you’re coming from out of state) but probably the only decent shopping within a 15 mile radius aside from the few boutiques located in downtown Boise or the mall . However , There are restaurants , occasional activities , and a nice movie theater located here too .
