Fabulous new park just off the main road through Surprise Valley community. With cliffs and steppe…read moreand a view of the Boise foothills, this park is in a gorgeous location parents will appreciate. Misters for the warmer months but not a full splash pad. Mini skate park and body weight exercise machines make this a unique spot. This place also has bocce courts and two playground sets. The one for the little kiddos is fairly small. But the set for the bigger kids is impressive. There's a three story slide that's accessed by climbing ropes and nets. City of Boise has really stepped up its park game in recent years. This park is a nice addition to the neighborhood and worth checking out even if you don't live in the area.

If you don't Skateboard, It's great if you do parkour! They have a great Parkour area with a decent variety of obstacles!

Another review mentioned inappropriate language used by kids riding their skate boards, but if you are with young kids at the play ground area you cannot hear anything over at the skate area because it's too far away. The only thing that would make this playground better is if didn't have wood chips. But all in all a nice little park for kids.

Spanning 25 miles and connecting several towns, the Boise River Greenbelt is an absolute marvel of…read morea public park. I just love how everyone is doing their own thing, whether that's walking, strolling, biking, fishing, kayaking or even surfing! Yes that's right, there's a section where you can actually surf the stream.. how cool is that?! There a signs at the entrances that remind people not to be a "speed demon" and also signs warning about blind curves, which I very much appreciated. We rented those Lime electric scooters and were able to scoot nearly the entire path, which felt so epic and fun. Of course, we were mindful of pedestrians, bikes and foot traffic. One of my favorites parts of the path was when went past the Boise Zoo and saw not just one, but too giraffes poking their heads up at the trees. They were ginormous and even seems to acknowledge us with curious eyes and ears. What a special treat to have such an open, accessible and convenient public space right in the heart of a city!

Oh how I long for a great bike ride or run down the Greenbelt. The Greenbelt is an absolute gem and…read moreI am a firm believer in getting as much time on the Greenbelt as possible. It quite literally runs along the river and is absolutely stunning all the way through. From parks like Ann Morrison to Boise State's campus to where you drop in the river for floating at Barber Park. There is plenty to do along the Greenbelt. It is always fun to plan days going from hot spot to hot spot on a bike or on foot. It's also great to spend some time kicking it by the river at one of the Greenbelt's many hang out areas, especially during the summer.

(Apparently the observatory is closed on Sunday?). Entrance fee is $7 cash or check when the gate is closed. You have to be in some type of shape as ascending the 60 deg incline hill of sand takes a bit of muscle and cardio endurance to make it up. Once at the top though, it's a serene and calming experience. On the backside of the first sand dune, the Snake River runs through. Similar to an Oasis in the desert. However, as some people may know or experience, wherever there is water, comes the bugs. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the bugs (mosquitoes) attacked. Not just one or two, swarms of mosquitoes. If you're like me and have allergic itching reactions to pest bites, be warned and have full body covering along with repellent. By the time we escaped to the car my son had been bit on the head and face. Just a forewarning. Bruneau Dunes State Park seems like a cool place to be. There were 3-4 individual camping locations that's were RV friendly and vast spaces for kids to run around. Sand Dunes themselves are not WC friendly unless you invent some type of sled to push/pull the WC up the hill. Also, make sure when dusk arrives, COVER UP!

I don't know why I didn't visit Indian Creek Plaza last year, but I just went last night, and I…read morehave to tell you it really lifted my spirits & put me in the holiday mood! I had no idea how many lights they put up, and hadn't seen their new ice skating rink either. The downtown is just brimming with holiday cheer, colorful lights, and ice skating, even music. I guess I didn't fully understand the sheer volume of Christmas lights they put up, but it's enough that you have to walk all the way around and across the river to see it all! It's incredible, and they have some really cool "features" that I wasn't expecting to see. Such fun! It was raining when we went, but the combination of the people, places, lights, excitement, and the magic of all almost made the rain delightful. :) The whole experience brought me so much joy. I've been so stressed lately with all the holiday "stuff" that needs to be done that I forgot what the season was about. My visit to Indian Creek Plaza really brought things into focus for me...not just because of the lights, but because the lights serve as a reminder of the joy, the people, love, and time together is what really makes the holidays so special. Go visit. Take a friend, or your family, or both. Make an evening of it. Grab some coffee or a slice of pizza together, and explore the lights, the creek, and just enjoy each other's company.

I looked at their birthday party packages and they are definitely overpriced compared to other kid friendly places that host birthday parties. The lady with the blonde wig definitely yelled several times and yeah, the soda is served in mouthwash cups. I did see a lot of reviews about how people aren't allowed to skate fast or do tricks but I definitely watched people skate fast & do tricks which was the one thing that looked fun and fine for everyone. Again, I hope the owners care about improving the experience but it will be several years before I think about letting my kids come back. & if the owners don't care, I hope this review helps other parents make an informed choice before booking a party or event!
