We went out to look for raptors and saw red tailed hawks.swainsons hawk and many ravens and kestrals. It is a ways out but worth the drive just to see the canyon carved by the river and time. Old dam has a museum but we had our dog so didn't go in

We brought the grandkids to the World Center for Birds of Prey last month and had a grand time. We checked their website ahead of time to see when things were happening and had the choice of four different live bird shows and two walking tours to their archives to hear about the history of falconry. We chose the morning and were able to do a pair of bird shows (the grans loved both Bob and Winston) and the walking tour highlighting their archives and Arab falconry wing. Then we wandered right next to inside and outside bird exhibitions ... and the kiddos were so excited to see a bald eagle, an arctic Gyrfalcon, a gorgeous red-tailed hawk, Lucy the turkey vulture and two giant California Condors in the outdoor areas. The inside habitats featured an Applomado falcon, a very talkative Harris' Hawk, a peregrine falcon, a great horned owl and the find of the day, a huge and impressive harpy eagle! The staff was obviously very dedicated and informed and we look forward to coming back in the fall for their outdoor flight program. Highly recommended by the entire party .. grandparents, parents and bird-crazy grandchildren!

Morrison-Knudsen Nature Center

Reviewed By Crummy1 - Missoula, United States

This is one of Boise's hidden treasures. Great for people of all ages. It's very educational. The pond and stream features are my personal favorites. Great viewing opportunities for a variety of trout and a couple of giant sturgeon. Great place to get ideas for improving your yard or property to benefit wildlife. Nice indoor exhibits as well, including a little play area for young kids. The little ones loved this place! No charge for admission.

Wilson Springs Ponds

Reviewed By kathyg650

Great trails, stocked ponds, nice views and unless you hit a weird day it is not very crowded during the week. It is also a great place to just walk and see the birds. All kinds of birds, stocked ponds and lovely surroundings, it's a win-win.
