We had a little time before our flight home so decided to stop by. Nice, modern zoo. Not huge but a good variety of animals. We especially liked the cats & giraffes. Worth a visit.

Update - the zoo is back in full swing. We went this morning and many of the animals were awake and moving. The Boise zoo is so lovely. Even during COVID my daughter and I had a great time.

Questions & Answers

Is there a zoo night in the summer?

Michelle Hanks | Sep 29, 2019
Quarter Coyote | Jan 31, 2022

There were Halloween events that went into the evening before 2020, not sure if they're doing those again. You'll have to check the calendar on the website. You can reserve the zoo for private events after hours. The Halloween events were public.

I have one major complaint why don’t you guys have a swim with the otters program ? It’s my dream and I’m not at an understanding why I have to travel out of state to do this. It would raise a lot of money for the Boise Zoo. Consider this. Please.

Hilary Newberry | Sep 28, 2020
Mike Giggey | Sep 28, 2020

This is a major expense that Zoo boise could not even consider. The valley is growing the zoo will also. There are many more exhibits to add. For now enjoy our local zoo and help fund more programs for the future.
