One thing I've learned about traveling with children is that if they aren't happy and having fun, none of us is having fun. But how many kiddie parks do I have to support? The key is to find places and things to do that the whole family can enjoy. This list will ensure the entire family has a great time.
The Discovery Center is a hands-on science center where everyone will find science way more fun than they expected.
Who doesn't like animals? Zoo Boise continues to improve its habitats and exhibits.
