There's some walking involved, up and down hill on somewhat rough terrain. But you get to see the fish up close and even check out the sturgeon. If you go inside the building, there are more great displays. Just be aware of the gift shop and work something out with the kids before you go in there. More

You don't expect to find something like this in the middle of the city. I have seen this place several times over the past 20 years. The trees have grown bigger. Meant to be an educational center. The underwater viewing windows of trout habitat is my favorite section. More

The nature center is a great place to visit to view birds, waterfowl, and some small animals in a natural environment. There are a couple areas that need a little work to update, but overall it is a pleasant experience. Take a walk through the butterfly garden and you may be fortunate enough to see deer in the "wilderness" area... More

As a resident of Boise it never seems to amaze us. We are riding our motorcycle weekends and evenings and this is one of the places we always go.

I love to walk through this place when I need a break. There are huge trout to gawk at, beautiful riparian settings for the water and displays. You cannot miss this when in Boise. More

See trout in their natural habitat...view them thru glass while they swim by...quite peaceful and interesting area next to Municiple Park...take 30 or so minutes and walk thru this. More

We've been visiting the MK Nature center for 12 years now. It is a great place for families, with a nature trail, fish ponds, plants, hands on activities inside the visitor center and a great location near downtown Boise along the Boise river. We love it! More

Very cool place to walk around and the best part is that it is free! More
