Top 10 Things To Do In The Boise, Idaho Area

Music & Entertainment

Boise Music Scene

Summer Concerts – In the past, it wasn’t uncommon for locals to take a road trip to Salt Lake City for a concert. However, Boise has become quite the itinerary destination for big-name, musical talent over the past few years with tours like the Vans Warped Tour, the Boise Music Festival, and the Mountain Home Country Music Festival. In fact, concert venues throughout the Treasure Valley have hosted stars like the Eagles, Styx, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, One Direction, Motley Crue, Katy Perry, Imagine Dragons, Ariana Grande and more.

Idaho Shakespeare Festival – Attending a performance at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival is one of the greatest pleasures one can have on a warm summer evening in Boise. With the opportunity to pack your own food and drinks, you will enjoy the gorgeous backdrop of the Boise foothills as you take in world-class talent in a nature-filled outdoor amphitheater. Shows run from May through September with a collection of Shakespeare performances and other classical playwrights for the perfect, summer night out.

Float the Boise River – Floating the Boise River is probably the #1 rated thing to do in Boise on a hot summer day. From river adventure seekers to those looking for cool relief, you can find rafts and tubes for rent at Barber Park and get out at Ann Morrison Park with shuttle rides available. The float takes approximately 2-3 hours over a six-mile stretch as you beat the heat with friends and family for a refreshing afternoon activity.

Roaring Springs – As the Northwest’s largest water park, Roaring Springs features relaxing and adrenaline pumping fun for every member of the family. This sprawling water park offers a variety of rides including speed slides, a lazy river, and wave pool along with popular attractions like the Corkscrew Cavern, Cliffhanger, Thunder Falls, Kiddie Kowabunga, and the Viper’s Vortex just to name a few. Open from May through September, Roaring Springs offers daily, nightly and season passes along with group discounts and family slide nights.

Zip Idaho – Zip Idaho is Idaho’s UltiIdaho Raftingmate Zipline Adventure! Located just a half an hour north of Boise in beautiful Horseshoe Bend in Highway 55, this unique, eco-adventure combines tree based canopy-tour style zip lines with lines up to 2000 ft! As a great half-day adventure there are plenty of other activities to do in the area like whitewater rafting, swimming, mountain biking, and fishing.

White Water Rafting – Looking for a little more adventure just outside of the city? Cascade Raft & Kayak offers daily whitewater rafting and kayaking trips less than one hour from Boise along the Payette River. As an area favorite, people of all ages enjoy the adventure of playful rapids, splashy whitewater, swimming, relaxing and floating for the perfect summer day activity.

Stretching from Lucky Peak all the way to the City of Eagle, the Boise Greenbelt not only provides visitors with access to the river, it passes by popular destinations like the BSU campus, Zoo Boise, the Discovery Center of Idaho, the Boise Art Museum and numerous restaurants, pubs, and parks.

Zoo Boise – Zoo Boise connects visitors to the wonders of wild creaturfrisbee golfes from around the world.
