Walking around beautiful, spotlessly clean downtown Boise and stumbled onto Re-pop. AWESOME store. Reminded me of the cool places on Melrose in Los Angeles before the city turned to disgusting. Cool, funny, interesting stuff. Totoro toys, Gizmo, so many comedy shirts and toys from so many super random and obscure movies and games. Amazing stuff, and really cool staff.

James Castle House

Serving as a testimony to the life and work of American artist, James Castle and rooted in Castle’s sense of wonder and discovery, the house today is a center for contemporary and historical exhibits, tours, performances, talks, an Artist-in-Residence program, and community partnerships. Both the historic buildings and the new wing invite you to explore the spaces unique only to James Castle.

The James Castle House has many layers. The tours and gallery experience provide information about James Castle’s life and home. The artist in residence space is a way for artists to connect with the space and the public in a different way and the general store has nostalgic pieces similar to items that James Castle had along with contemporary items that relate to the place.

Reviewed By lfsunflower - Durango, United States

After visiting the museum and learning about the history and rich culture of the Basques in Idaho, check out the boarding house next to the museum. I hope you get to see the 3D photos--so cool! Go to the restaurant across the street for delicious paella too.

Reviewed By betsyo437 - Fort Myers, United States

Great airplane and military museum. There were also some great old automobiles. Lots of personal written histories of military people who have served. Great displays and very informative. There was a very interesting Eagle Scout project. Nampa is about 20 minutes away from Boise. The museum was very easy to find, lots of free parking and the staff were very helpful and friendly.
