The market takes place at 1500 Shoreline Drive every Saturday between 09.00—1.00 p.m. April — October.

The Aquarium of Boise is the perfect place for family fun, and it is unusual in the fact that it offers plenty of hands-on fun, including a series of ‘touch tanks,’ where you can touch crabs, starfish and even a large ray. The Aquarium is large, covering 10,000 square feet, with numerous tanks containing various fish and one full of octopuses. There is also the chance to spend time in the shark nursery! There is also an aviary on site.

Roller skating is enjoying a well-deserved renaissance at the moment, so what better place to rekindle your love for skating or to give it a go than at the Travel Valley Roller Skate Centre?
