Zoo Boise

Many are taking advantage of the calendar this year and holding many Halloween events before the day itself, as there is much to do this weekend and candy to be had.

Not long after, still 1916, a circus came through Mountain Home. A monkey decided to retire from his life in the circus and escaped. He was found later in the desert of Mountain Home, well after the traveling circus had moved on.

Looking for a fun way to kill some time before the Boise State home opener on Saturday, September 17? How about a FREE visit to Zoo Boise on the way to the tailgate lot?

Need a break from the kids? Zoo Boise's biggest adult-only party of the year is happening next week!

The beautiful lioness Mudiwa had to be put down this week. She will be dearly missed.

One of the largest cats in the world has joined the Zoo Boise family just in time for summer.

Today is National Zoo Lovers Day. Zoo Boise is unique and nationally recognized for their incredible conservation efforts with animals. How the zoo got started is a very different and crazy story. A monkey decided to retire from his life in the circus...

Here’s a list of the best April/Easter events going on THIS weekend here in the Boise area that you should definitely know about :)

The zoo, like every business had to make some hard decisions and adjustments in light of the pandemic starting in March of 2020. From closures to event cancelations to keeping the animals safe from COVID they have had a lot to deal with. Now that we seem to have the worst of the pandemic behind us and things are opening up, Zoo Boise is happy to bring back a local favorite, Easter EGGstravaganza.

We love it all, but it doesn't make me any less salty about the fact that I'm clearly the only person who didn't know this about the zoo.
