Zoo Boise, Zoo within the City of Boise
Zoo Boise is a zoological facility in Boise, Idaho, where visitors walk through grounds displaying animals from different parts of the world. The park features various habitats designed to house wildlife species, with pathways that wind through the property and allow close observation of the animals.
Zoo Boise was founded in the 1960s as a community project that grew into an established institution over time. The facility has undergone expansions and updates over the decades to improve animal care and visitor experience.
The zoo is most easily reached by car, with parking available on-site and clear signage throughout. The grounds are relatively flat and easy to walk, with rest areas and shaded spots placed along the main pathways.
The facility participates in conservation programs for endangered species and uses visitor interactions to raise awareness about wildlife protection. Educational talks and demonstrations throughout the day help guests understand why this work matters for animals in nature.
