Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood near the Orchard/Fairview intersection, Xanadu Community Center…read morewas created by the Idaho Burners Alliance, Inc., a nonprofit corporation that is "a creative alliance, focused on bringing art, science and technology education to Idaho." Xanadu aka "Xu" is a large building on the property that makes up the workspace. Gardens of Xanadu is a large greenhouse on the property that is open to the public during the same business hours as Constellation Coffee, a coffee trailer on the property that is part of Xanadu. President of the Idaho Burners Alliance, Kaden Sinclair bought the property, which functioned as a church from the 1930s until the 1950s, so he could use it to build the art car "Joule" for Burning Man 2015, and it grew from there. One of Kaden's goals is to obtain the funding to build something similar to Meow Wolf, in Boise. Meow Wolf is an arts and entertainment company that creates large scale, interactive art installations. Highly Recommended!!!

Rooooooad trip! We ended up in Boise, stopped here for an indoor farmers market. It was nice being…read moreable to check out all the local goods without freezing in 20-something degree weather. The center itself was standard as community centers go. It was clean and organized, even decorated nicely for the holiday season. Parking lot is on the smaller side but we found a spot up close pretty quickly. I can't speak to much else besides the main building that we were in but overall a good experience!

I have used several of the facilities at Fort Boise and some are new while others are a little…read moreolder and worn. The way I look at Fort Boise is different than my normal reviews. I am rating Fort Boise on the services that are provided rather than the shine you see when you enter the facility. I am so very thankful for stumbling upon my community center. My community connection seems more complete with it. I have used this place as my gym and as my continuing eduction fix. My ceramics class grounds my art craving. Weekly, I walk into a studio filled with budding and more advanced artist. I am surrounded by like minds that find solace in creating something out of clay. If I am wanting to work my heart, I will go to my community center to run or lift weights or to take yoga classes. The gym areas are not huge but it is nice to have a place to go that isn't packed. Nothing matters more to me than what this place STANDS for. The people that work here are dedicated to making their community better and more active. They have a teen center, several art studios, a large gym, and a senior center. Every person I bump into at Fort Boise are friendly and helpful. Please look into other classes, activities, and services that Fort Boise provides. My review is exclusive to the gym and art center but their offerings reach far beyond the boundaries of their walls. I heart!

I didn't discover Elm Grove Park until the start of the pandemic back in 2020 when I started…read moreexploring different streets around my neighborhood. But I am very happy I found it! Usually I do like walking/running 4 laps around the perimeter of the park (two blocks) which is equal to ~1 mile and then relax on the park benches which are well shaded even in the summer. It's the perfect place for families with small kids as there is a playground and is perfect of dog walkers. The park also has a tennis court, public restrooms, a small basketball court, and a grilling area. The only small complaint (which isn't a huge deal) is that some parts along perimeter have a sidewalk and some parts are just a curb. However, traffic around the park is minimal so I think an accident is less likely to happen. I'll continue to come to this park this summer and try out the other amenities in the near future! Come check it out! :)

If you have a few hours while visiting Boise, the Old Penitentiary is worth your consideration…read more It's quite interesting to see the cells and tidbits of inmate history. There was one inmate who successfully escaped by building a ladder to climb the wall. She escaped for the express purpose of visiting her mom, getting a good meal and then just waited patiently for police to bring her back to jail. Don't skip the bonus weapons/gun museum housed in the corner building. They have an impressive collection of prior war guns and swords. Only $9 admission fee.

You were able to go in and tour on your own or have someone guide you along the way we chose to do a self guided tour. You were able to go inside and see all the jail sales and solitary confinement. They have a men's quarter and a women's quarter. I also very much enjoyed going to the museum of all of the different types of guns. There is plenty of places to break and sit on a bench if you feel overwhelmed and you're able to go inside of the jail cells. Definitely a fun educational thing to do. They also offer discounts for elderly AAA and EBT. I love a little piece of history inside of a big city
