What to do and see in Idaho, United States: The Best Movie Theaters

May 15, 2022 Emerita Lamoureux

A mixture of forested mountains, alpine peaks, wildflower meadows, deep river canyons, and high plains deserts, Idaho is a paradise for golf, skiing, fly fishing, and river rafting. Boise, the capital, is the state's largest city and airline hub. North of Boise are golf, lake, and ski resorts from McCall in the south to Sandpoint and Coeur D'Alene in the north. East of Boise are the ski slopes of Ketchum and Sun Valley. East of Sun Valley are Craters of the Moon National Monument, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and the small town of Island Park just across the border from Yellowstone National Park. Boise's Basque Museum and Cultural Center reflects having the largest Basque population in the U.S. Reflecting Idaho's diverse heritage, near the Idaho Historical Museum in Boise's Julia Davis Park is the Idaho Black History Museum's chronicle of the slave York who served the Lewis & Clark Expedition. After a family visit to the Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey and an outdoor performance at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, the next stop after Boise is likely to be Payette Lake in McCall or Sun Valley and Ketchum. About 100 miles north of Boise, past Cascade Lake, McCall takes you to the shores of Payette Lake. Go golfing, fishing, hiking, biking, waterskiing, sailing, boating, or whitewater river rafting. Ski or snowshoe Brundage Mountain or Tamarack Resorts, as well as Ponderosa State Park in winter. Ice skate year-round at Manchester Ice & Event Centre. About 450 miles north of Boise, there are resort lakes near skiing and golf at Coeur d'Alene, Hayden Lake, and Sandpoint. Golf, tennis, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, rafting, and hunting are popular in Sun Valley and Ketchum. Sockeye salmon may no longer do much spawning in Redfish Lake, but the boating and mountain scenery in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area make the short trip north to Stanley worthwhile. When the snows come the whole family will head for the slopes of Soldier Mountain, Bald Mountain, Dollar Mountain, or the Sun Valley Resort. A tiny forested town of about 250 people, Island Park has a large reservoir with fishing and boating, as well as Henry's Fork of the Snake River for fly fishing. It's only 15 miles from Yellowstone as well.

The Village Cinema

Reviewed By petalpusher980 - Meridian, United States

This theater is my families go-to location. If you are visiting the area and looking for a movie theater, I highly recommend this one. It is located within an outdoor shopping center in the heart of Meridian. The shopping center in itself is a fun experience with various shops, restaurants and often other entertainment (concerts, yoga on the lawn, dancing water fountain, children's storytime, etc) happening. Check out The Village to get the full rundown on those offerings. Anyways . . . this theater offers various types of seating. They have your basic theater floorplan, theaters with fully reclining chairs and a VIP section in which those that are 21+ can sip on a beverage and order an actual dinner served at your seat. You pick your specific seat at time of purchase, so you don't have to worry about getting there 30 mins prior to snag your favorite seat. Log on online and purchase ahead of time OR you can purchase at the ticket office onsite (just know if it is a popular movie you might not get the seats you want or at all if you wait until last minute). The offer all the usual concessions at the usual prices so no surprise there. Picture and sound quality has always been great for me. Lastly, they do have a restaurant attached to the theater (which is where the food for the 21+ section comes from). It is a great place to grab a drink or a quick bite to eat right before or after your movie. (Some of the other restaurants in the Village during peak times may have quite the wait if you are in a hurry)
