Lots of benches to sit at and a fire pit. Today 12/13/23 from 4-5:30pm crew...this one's for you! The reason for this YELP review is to express gratitude for the crew in charge of sending us down the snow lanes. My daughter (4yrs old) was so terrified to go down the slides and they were so kind. So gentle. Such great cheer leaders to motivate her to do it. After 3 attempts they finally convinced her to do it and she loved it. My parents (both in their 70's) my husband my daughter and myself will talk about this experience for years to come. While at dinner my dad thanked us for making today one of his favorite days in his life. My little one is still talking about how fun it was and how everyone clapped for her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If I could hug the guys working there I would've. Thank you thank you and thank you.

So.... stinkin'..... much..... fun…read more I knew nothing about this place until we went to Idaho to visit my brother and sister-in-law. They'd rolled their eyes, promised, nearly guaranteed there'd be snow. I mean it's bloody Idaho....in January. There WILL be snow. But of course, the few days we were there? None on the ground and not a single flake fell. But the Gateway saved us! Like I said we knew nothing. So we didn't book or pay on-line or sign any waivers in advance. We rolled up with cash in our pockets and said we wanted to play. The runs were fast and fun. There was one with a jump large enough that I got airborne several times. The staff that manned the runs were upbeat and energetic. And it was a great opportunity for this hevier-than-he-ought-to-be visitor to get some vigorous exercise. I loved the intertube design!! Someone clearly has given that some thought. The skins that covered the intertubes were freakishly fast and the handles were thick and rugged and comfortable. It was especially awesome to set the intertube down at the top of a run, back up 3 or 4 big steps, and give it a running, leaping start. Just for a minute as I was in the air or as I was screaming sideways down the run I could relish the sense of invincibility that teenagers and 20-somethings enjoy as a routine part of life. It was wonderful.

The Idaho Donut Boat is so fun! I stumbled upon the website and was a little nervous because I…read morecouldn't find any reviews online, so now I'm leaving one. I emailed back and forth with Corey, the owner, and he was very accommodating and answered all my questions. The setup of the boat is ideal for hanging out with friends or family because of the circular layout and table in the center, plus having the big umbrella over the boat is really nice. It's like a really mellow party boat. We brought a cooler with drinks and food and made it a little dinner cruise. It was also effortless - they launched it for us and met us on the dock right as we brought it back so we didn't even have to tie it up, we just hopped off the boat and left.  Our kids absolutely loved it and one of them declared it in his top 3 experiences ever. They also liked that they could drive the boat themselves and make it do donuts. Our 10 year old wanted to leave his own review and wrote this: "This is a super fun and amazing activity for anyone to spend part of their day doing. Super comfortable and relaxing, doesn't get boring, and you're likely to get a lot of people complimenting the boat. You can also sit on the stairs and stick your feet in the water if you get hot. I would absolutely recommend this."

Boise River Raft and Tube is a great way to get some nice floatation device if you don't have your…read moreown or if you are bringing visitors who don't have a floatation device. At the end of the float, Boise River Raft and Tube has a designated rented raft and equipment pick up spot, for easy dropping off of your equipment. It is nice not having to lug around the gear after soaking in the sun for a few hours. They also have a bus shuttle service which takes you back to the top after floating down to the bottom. Service is always great. The workers are friendly and have good knowledge on how to have a safe and fun floating experience. Pro Tip: For those not wanting to ride the bus back to the top and going in a group. Consider parking a vehicle at the bottom, piling into another vehicle, and then driving to the top. After you float down with your group, hop in the car at the bottom and pick up the vehicle at the top. Though the bus ride back to the top isn't anything to be feared and is a great option.

The "ahh.."roma in a bike shop, that combination of tires and bike grease is still intoxicating…read moreeven though my road biking days are in my rearview due to a combination of age and smarts (I mean, if I was still biking it wouldn't be on road anymore given drivers and traffic) and progressive CNS illness. But I needed another pair of bike gloves because the stainless rims on my titanium wheelchair (my current distance mode of travel) get cold in winter months and I needed a full finger style with good grip. It was serendipity to spy Kore as I was walking back to my car from breakfast at Terri's (I recommend it) a couple doors down and I decided to pop in and see what they had. The young man working there was so helpful and I found exactly what I needed. I don't think he is the owner but he works like he owns the business (that is high praise) and we talked about the mountain bikes and e bikes they had and trends in local biking. As my husband and I entered a customer was picking up their bike that had been repaired and they were really happy with the outcome. The store also has a big selection of boards. LOCATION: In one of Meridian's many poorly laid out strip malls with terrible (too tight spacing) parking lots, you might not know it was there unless you knew it was there. Worth finding if you're looking for a bike or board! ACCESSIBILITY: Level in from the walkway, plenty of clear floor space to register. But this parking lot is so out of compliance for ADA mere minimums (that is not this shop owner's issue but the mall owner's issue) and the only curb ramp to get over the curb for the entire layout is with the two spots down by Terri's breakfast and lunch restaurant.
