This is a great place to visit. Not only is their the rose garden, my personal favorite. They also have. The black history museum, art museum, zoo and boise history museum here. It's a great place for kids or just people who enjoy history, art, or zoos. There's also the green belt near by. They also have different events here. Art in the park and the goddess festival to name a few. Over all a good experience all around.

The one thing I feel like I have to mention. This is in no ways the park's doing. Their normally good at keeping the park pretty clean, however when walking into the park their was a dead squirrel in the grass near by that disturbed me.

Again the park is normally really good at cleaning. I wanted to bring it up just because I was hoping to make the staff at the park aware its their if they read this.

My granddaughter (2 years old) was visiting and my wife and I took her to Zoo Boise with her parents. The admission price was not expensive. The grounds were clean and well kept. We visited on a weekday so there was no problem with crowds.

My granddaughter loved the Red Pandas and the Giraffe. Most of the exhibits had inside and outside viewing so visiting in varied weather should be available.

The employees I interacted with were cheerful and helpful. The food options were limited but outside food is allowed. Drinking fountains are available at all the restrooms. Free ice water is available at the shack bar by the entry.

Very kid friendly. They have experiences available to feed some of the animals. Small extra cost. Souvenirs and snacks are a little pricey. Very fun family...
