    Surprisingly the largest group of Basque people, outside of Spain are in Boise. The Basque Museum…read more& Cultural Center is focused on Basque culture & history. It opened in 1985 and is the only Basque museum in the US. Inside the museum are artifacts, photographs & collections of manuscripts and tapes describing the Basque immigration to the American West. It is on the Basque Block between Capital Blvd & 6th St. close to spots to try some traditional Basque food. It's an example of conservation & documentation of a living ethnic neighborhood. It's comprised of 2 historic boardinghouses, the Basque Center, the Basque Museum & Cultural Center, Bar Gernika, Leku Ona, the Basque Market ... Unf, everything was closed today we went for lunch in the market.

    Visited the Basque Museum & Cultural Center in March. We enjoyed learning about the Basque culture…read moreand history through the exhibits. The woman who we purchased tickets from was very nice and welcoming. She gave us a nice overview of the museum. It was not busy so we were able to discover the place at a leisurely pace. Admission to the Museum also gives you admission to the Cyrus Jacobs Uberuaga House next door. It was built in 1864 and housed families before becoming a boardinghouse. The tour guide in the house was great, very knowledgeable about the history of the house and the Basque culture. There is gift shop with various cultural items. Good museum experience.

    This was an outstanding experience. First, the people who work there obviously love what they do…read more They are very knowledgeable and take the time to greet you and explain what they do. There are also people who walk around with falcon-gear complete with falcon on their arm. Falcons, condors, owls, and an eagle were represented. They put on a short presentation where they allow a Peregrine Falcon to fly around the room while they talk about falconing, etc. That was exciting. There are outdoor and indoor exhibits. We picked a great day to visit - it was over 80 degrees, so we spent a lot of time walking around visiting the outdoor exhibits. We didn't miss anything indoors either. If you are in the Boise area - this is a must see.

    We really enjoy spending time here…read more I struggle with some animal-focused places because I would really just love to see all animals thriving in the wild. But the unfortunate reality is, sometimes, they just can't. Things like habitat loss, human conflict, or poisoning them/their prey make it extremely difficult for these guys out there. That's why I love places like The World Center for Birds of Prey. It's certainly NOT a place where they simply keep animals on display and that's the best part. Not only are they helping foster conservation of these beautiful raptors, but they're also taking the time to educate others who may not realize just how much of an impact they have on their environments. You have to experience it...at least once! One note: it's definitely family-friendly but very young kids may not be entertained as long as you want them to be. Nonetheless, I highly recommend checking it out :)

    This historically significant and grand building is open to the public from 7 am - 7 pm, 7 days a…read moreweek. I was pleasantly surprised, that yes, I can just walk up the grand staircase and into the rotunda. The liberty bell is currently being restored so it's not there but the rotunda and statues are all there. You can take the free tour and if not, just walking around and finding pockets of history is inspiring. For instance, the mail tunnels/gold slots are active ones so if you plan ahead, you can mail something out from the capital building (sadly, it doesn't have a special postmark). Also, the Idaho treasurer's office hallway is worth a visit because Spuddy Buddy dressed up as American heroes is just so Idaho. If you start there, you can pick up a 250th year scavenger hunt for kids where they can walk into the house of reps and collect stickers, bookmarks, and other things from the offices there. Also, don't skip out on the historical room with the bank vault doors. If you are into old bank doors (e.g. the bank door and vault at 8 Horses Lounge), they have two here with great random facts. I don't know what parking is like but many people ride Lime scooters and bikes there.

    We visited Idaho's Capitol building while on a trip to the Gem state, and it's located in downtown…read moreBoise, which is its capital city, and their capitol is really quite impressive, massive and grand. Lots of incredible ornate architecture, marble and other fancy stones galore are used in many opulent carvings and designs throughout the building. There are many historical sculptures in this capitol and there's also a small museum like exhibit at the basement inside that goes over the history of Idaho and important past, recent, and current events. Their legislature's meeting hall was also quite large and regal. All in all, it was an eye-opening tour of Idaho's capitol building, it really is worth a visit here to see some pretty amazing sculptures, paintings, architecture (especially the rotunda), and to learn about this state's history in a real life way.
