Here’s a list of the best April/Easter events going on THIS weekend here in the Boise area that you should definitely know about :)

Zoo Boise had some sad news to share this afternoon as they posted to their Facebook page that Draco, a 23-year-old male Komodo dragon has passed away.

Zoo Boise's very own groundhog, 'Boise Bill' decides to not participate in Groundhog Day 2022. He shares his reasons why.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re looking for something extremely fun and unique to do with your special someone on that special day, consider checking out the Woo at the Zoo – Adult Night event at the Boise Zoo on Saturday, February 12.

The wildlife petting zoo has been exposed for what it really is - a captive exhibit that exploits animals for profit.

Zoo Boise is making up for a year of missed fun in one spectacular day. Howliday Pawlooza is a full day of packed holiday fun. By holiday I mean just about every major holiday all rolled into one amazing eventful day. The zoo will be decorated with holiday themed areas. Christmas with Santa, Easter with an Easter bunny, Halloween and more.

Not long after, still 1916, a circus came through Mountain Home. A monkey decided to retire from his life in the circus and escaped. He was found later in the desert of Mountain Home, well after the traveling circus had moved on.

The entire belt stretches for 25 miles. I have yet to get all of those miles visited but hope to get all sections covered this summer. Here are some of the best stops along the way that I have found so far. These are all within a 5 mile radius of the greenbelt right in downtown.

Major Country stars are involved in this fundraising venture called "All Together for Animals" to help keep zoos going. Be a part of this massively fun and special virtual concert event. One of my favorite country artists of all time Brad Paisley will be headlining with Old Dominion, Ashley McBryde, Wynonna Judd, Riley Green, Jessie James Decker, Shy Carter, and more.

The Treasure Valley and Boise area is such a fantastic place to explore. Interestingly enough sometimes when you grow up somewhere you don't visit the classic 'visit' spots. Some of these you probably could knock out on class field trips but after that how many of these places have you been to?
