Zoo Boise 4.3 (reviews)

It's animals galore at Zoo Boise, where the main mission of the zoo is to not only give families a fun day out meeting their favorite animals from all over the world, but to also learn about their habits, their habitats and that ever important conservation!

Zoo Boise is located in Julia Davis Park, in the heart of Downtown Boise, and is one of the most popular attractions within Southern Idaho. Within the zoo, kids will be able to say hi to over 300 animals, and with these being represented by over 100 various species, it's certainly a learning experience on the natural world!

The animals at Zoo Boise really do come from all over the world, so you can travel the planet without even needing to leave Boise!

The magic of Africa is waiting with those grand lions, and those super tall giraffes. Kids can watch those cheeky meerkats play, or try and spot those Rock Hyrax. There are even some ones you wouldn't expect, such as the scorpion or cockroach!

Asia is calling in the next exhibit, with the adorable sloth bear, and amur tiger, and it's these kind of animals which will really put a face to the reason conservation is so important. Make sure you stop by the more unusual animals too, such as the Visayan Warty Pig, and the Binturong! Don't know what they are? Well, there's only one way to find out!

You can see the wallaby's and kookaburra's from Australia, and even those icons of the USA with the bald eagles and prairie dogs. 

For those kids who really want an up close and personal day at the zoo, a visit to the Zoo Farm is a must! Here, kids can get up close to the sheep, goats and llamas - and even feed them by hand!

With incredible animal encounters available at the zoo, too, it's no wonder there are so many memories created by families there - and now it's your turn, so let's go!
