Top Attractions & Things to Do in Boise
Boise is a year-round destination with a diverse range of activities for every interest.
The Boise River Greenbelt: This is the city's crown jewel. A 25-mile paved pathway that meanders along the Boise River, the Greenbelt connects a series of beautiful parks, including Julia Davis Park (home to Zoo Boise and several museums). It's perfect for a leisurely bike ride, a morning jog, or a relaxing stroll. In the summer, you can rent a tube or raft and float down the river, a beloved local tradition.
The Basque Block: Boise is home to one of the largest Basque communities outside of Spain and France. The Basque Block is a fascinating cultural hub where you can immerse yourself in this unique heritage. Visit the Basque Museum and Cultural Center, and then grab a delicious meal at a traditional Basque restaurant.
