We drove here while visiting family in Caldwell. It was only a 25 minute drive so I would…read moredefinitely recommend it to anyone visiting the western suburbs of Boise. It is a smaller aquarium, but was not at all lacking for the cost and what they advertised (I grew up in a Chicago suburb so it's hard to compare to the Shedd Aquarium). So many varieties of coral and anemone. Many types of grouper, clownfish, and starfish. The montereys were fun to watch. I'd almost consider this a petting zoo but for fish. There were 3 or 4 open tanks with the purpose of touching the fish. Our daughter is a little young for that but she loved tracking the fish in their tanks. The aquarium was well staffed. The staff was very friendly and informative. It was well maintained and clean. There's a little gift shop and a photo booth to remember your visit by on the way out. Would recommend to anyone who has kids maybe 14 and under or anyone who has a real interest in sea creatures.

I hate to leave a review that isn't glowing, because it truly seems like they take great care of…read morethe animals, and every employee we interacted with was kind wonderful!! This is a fun place for a short family outing (about 45 minutes). My husband, kids, and I enjoyed seeing all the fish and animals. For reference, our visit cost $46 for a family of four (two adults, a 9-year-old, and a 4-year-old), without any of the optional feeding add-ons. One important note for those with sensitivities: Anyone with mold sensitivities, asthma, or environmental allergies may want to proceed with caution. We were indoors for about 35 minutes, and afterward I didn't feel well. The space is quite humid, and the building is older, with visible signs of water damage on the ceiling throughout the building. There also doesn't seem to be much fresh air circulation. Because my children and I are very sensitive to mold, this unfortunately isn't a place we'll be able to visit again anytime soon. I'm sharing this simply to help others with similar sensitivities make an informed decision.

Like a true professional, he worked out the issue, traced it to the pump (which was not where it was supposed to be) and replaced it. Although the pump had to be ordered, it was worth the extra two day wait to have it done correctly. Mike carried a similar pump, but he knew it would have been too powerful, so he suggested doing the right thing and he made a second trip back. Cared for our property from start to finish by cleaning up afterwards, cleaned off our tarp and put our hose away. Like he was never ever there. A true professional AND the only person we would call to inspect and service our unique water feature.

I can understand the desire to see animals you've never seen before, or would otherwise never have…read morethe chance to see. However, at a certain degree- a zoo is inhumane. Especially when it's the Boise Zoo. There is zero enrichment, even environment, for the animals here. They all genuinely look depressed. Which is not only depressing, but heartbreaking. These poor animals are in bare enclosures, dying or dead grass, and have zero stimulation. I've been to many zoos, aquariums, and such as a child. I visited the Boise Zoo for free as I was working (not for the zoo, but the company I was working for offered a day at the zoo for our customers and I was one of the employees selected to go with)... You could not pay me to go back and support this zoo. Or, see the absolutely horrible state these animals are forced to live in. For people who don't care about the animals... The bathrooms were c dirty; not maintained at all. Half of the stalls were out of toilet paper and there was no paper towels to dry your hands. The food is priced crazily high. Zero stars if I could.

Upon arriving, she seemingly lacked any personality or zest for the job. She started questioning whether he was matted or not, which was very specific and I've never been questioned about. She stated he was matted and I'd need to reschedule with someone that can cut those out. As a Shepard mix with a double coat, his hair is thick and can be brushed out. I told her that he could be brushed out and every groomer in the past, at that PetSmart, had no issues. Since I was 45 minutes early I asked if I brought him out to the car and brushed the "matts" out, would she groom him. She responded that she wouldn't. Her flat out refusal to work with me, alongside her snarky smile, like she had accomplished something great by refusing to take my dog, made me cancel my other dog's grooming appointments. I won't be back and I absolutely recommend not taking your dog to Karla. It took me 10 minutes to brush out his hair.

Then I walked into Shane's store. Shane spent a full hour talking with me, answering every single question I had (and I had a LOT). You can tell immediately how knowledgeable he is, not just from what he says, but from how clearly he explains things. He didn't rush me, didn't make me feel silly for being a beginner, and he gave me honest guidance about what I actually need instead of trying to upsell anything. What stood out the most is how much he cares about people having a successful experience. He offered support for anything I might need going forward--advice, troubleshooting, product suggestions, all of it. It's rare these days to find someone who genuinely wants to help you succeed, and Shane absolutely does. If you're starting a saltwater tank (or even if you're already deep into the hobby), go see Shane. The level of customer service and knowledge he brings is on a completely different level. Highly recommend!
