We LOVED this wonderful museum! The owners were phenomenal and so informative. Their cheerful way of teaching made this an incredible experience for all of us. It had an incredible history worth of items all the way up to the present day. They provided a great scavenger hunt that kept us all searching and enjoying all the museum had to offer. We would definitely recommend this to anyone! Great for kids and adults.

Idaho Falls Temple & Visitors Center

Open to the public, the Idaho Falls Temple grounds are a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Visitors can walk through the colorful gardens lined with towering trees, sit by the fountains and cascading waterfall, enjoy the beautiful view of the Snake River, and feel the peace of the grounds. While you're there, you can take a guided tour at the Visitors' Center. Or, during the pandemic, take a virtual tour from anywhere in the world!

The Idaho Falls temple is the most important piece of architecture in Eastern Idaho, and home to the most beautiful scenery in Idaho Falls. Its position on the Snake River, gardens and beautiful design make it a must-see for anyone passing through Idaho Falls. The visitor's center at the temple has fun, interactive activities for kids and adults, communicating information regarding the origins of this historic building and its spiritual significance to the local community. Especially in these times when anxiety is high for most of us, the temple grounds are a peaceful place to think, meditate and ponder. Can't think of a better place to visit in Idaho Falls.

We went to the dinosaur exhibit with our 3 teenagers. The exhibit is fairly large and the displays are better than normal. It was fun and engaging for our teenagers and my wife and I. We spent a couple of hours at the museum and unfortunately some of their Idaho exhibits are currently closed due to setting up new exhibitions. And look forward to seen the new exhibits and will go back. Top notch museum and better than expected.

Hell's Half Acre

Reviewed By pitterpat000 - Gainesville, United States

We came here to see the lava flows because we didn't plan to drive all the way to Craters of the Moon. (In an unexpected turn of events, we did anyway....so it makes a good comparison for this review.) It was snowy, but we could still see the lava rocks and how they are all holey and stacked up. It was a very interesting terrain. You just stop at the rest area and it is very well marked of where to go off of I-15 South between Idaho Falls and Blackfoot. We actually enjoyed this stop more than when we got over to Craters of the Moon because this time of year, the road at the park is closed so we couldn't really see anything. We did see bear scat here so know that you are not alone even though it feels very remote!
