Downtown Boise is a great, lively area with many fun things to do. The heart of downtown is in the area of 8th Street and Main St. There are multiple restaurants and bars in the area, the Boise Zoo, a great Saturday Market, and you aren't far from the Greenbelt (just to the south along the Boise River) where you can stroll for miles through parks, the Boise State University campus, and much more!
Cool off and splash around with a float down the Boise River!
