Big entertainment stops at the Morrison Center, Idaho's premier performing arts center located in Boise State University. "Weird Al" Yankovic, Boise Philharmonic and Merle Haggard have graced the 10 story entertainment stage housed on the banks of the Boise River. Not to mention, Broadway sensations, My Fair Lady and Les Miserables.
Mountain Bikers at the 8th Street High Loop, located at the Hulls Gulch Reserve in Boise, will have to dig deep to master this trail. The recreational trail's long upper foothills just northeast of downtown demand skill, nerve and conditioning. Complete this ride, and you've earned the right to call yourself a mountain biker.
Enjoy a tour of Boise's historic downtown district from Boise Trolley Tours. Step inside the vintage "Molly" Trolley car for an open-air, narrated insider's peek at the city's mansions on Warm Springs Road, the steps of the Idaho State Capitol Building, and the grounds of the Old Idaho Penitentiary.
It sure is fishy at the Morrison Knudsen Nature Center. The 4.6-acre wildlife center sits alongside the Boise River Greenbelt and offers a fish eyes view of Boise's stream environment. Popular inhabitants like great blue herons, quail, muskrats and mink will greet you on the outdoor nature walk.
