Visitors will be surprised by all Boise has to offer. The city is proud of
its philharmonic orchestra, opera, ballet and theater companies and summer
Shakespeare festival that features outdoor performances along the Boise River.
The Gene Harris Jazz Festival and Art in the Park continue to be favorites
among both locals and visitors and there are plenty of museums and attractions
to educate and entertain.
Culture and entertainment mix nicely with the abundant outdoor recreation.
Summer brings plenty of sunshine, perfect for a bike ride or a walk along
the 25-mile Greenbelt or a round of golf at one of the area's 12 beautiful
courses. For those who like a bit more adventure, try mountain biking in Boise's
foothills, floating the Boise River on an inflatable raft or tube, or whitewater
rafting on the Payette River, just 45 minutes north of the city. In the winter,
enjoy Nordic skiing at Bogus Basin Mountain Resort or spend a day - or night
- skiing or snowboarding the resort's groomed downhill trails. Boise's indoor
ice-skating rink is open year-round.
Sports fans can enjoy Boise's professional athletic teams, including the Idaho
Steelheads WCHL hockey and Boise Hawks baseball. Les Bois Park features both
thoroughbred and quarterhorse racing and simulcast racing and betting during
the off-season.
