The Basque Museum and Cultural Centre opened in 1985 and is the only Basque museum in the United States. The museum traces the link between Basque immigrants from the Basque region of northern Spain and the city of Boise, which is the first place they settled. The museum highlights how their culture influenced the area. The museum building is special, too, as it is the oldest brick-built building in Boise.

Freak Alley Gallery is a huge outdoor gallery that is located between 8th and 9th street and is a real celebration of colour! This open-air gallery is the largest in the northwest and features work by many young artists. You will certainly find some of their work really good and very inspirational.

A ‘must do’ while you are in Boise is to hike the 3.7-mile route to Table Rock — a well-known sandstone plateau. It is steep and hard work to the top but you are rewarded with magnificent views of Treasure Valley and to the Owyhee mountains beyond.
