Things To Do
Tupelo honey restaurant
This southern comfort restaurant is always amazing. Sam likes to switch up his order, but Sydni ALWAYS orders the Mac & cheese waffle...you have to try it
Ling & Louie's Asian Bar and Grill
This asian bar and grill has some of our favorite foods..this is our default date night restaurant. Sam likes to switch up his order. He likes the new wave pad thai, Louie's hangover fried rice, and general ling's chicken. Sydni's favorite sushi from here is the double dragon roll or the lochness. We can never leave without ordering the banana caramel spring roll! Best of all...they have a location in Boise AND Meridian!
Yoi Tomo Sushi and Grill
This sushi bar has the best all you can eat sushi. Sam doesn't like eating raw fish and even he finds sushi he likes here! Sydni on the other hand...she will eat any sushi they have. They don't take reservations, but you can add your name to the waitlist before heading that way to get seated quicker!
Anthony’s Restaurant – Boise
This is a fancy seafood restaurant downtown Boise. While the prices are high, the food is worth every penny and the service is always amazing!
Greenbelt Access
If you're one for going on walks, try walking along the greenbelt! The greenbelt is a 25-mile long path that follows the Boise River through the heart of the city, provides beautiful views, and passes by multiple parks. Head to the website to see where you can get to the greenbelt near you!
Freak Alley Gallery
If you don't want to spend money exploring the area, freak alley is the place to go! Freak alley is an ever-changing mural on the walls of buildings between 8th and 9th street in downtown boise. Local artists get to showcase their work and its a great photo-op!
Old Idaho Penitentiary Site
The penitentiary is an old, (said to be) haunted prison that you can tour. We have never gotten around to touring it, but I've heard its a great tour and can be really awesome to walk through!
Idaho Botanical Garden
If haunted old prisons aren't your thing, take a stop by the Idaho botanical gardens! This garden covers around 15 acres of what was once the penitentiary. Walking through the entire garden takes around 60-90 minutes. They even sometimes hold concerts here!
