Self guided tour takes about an hour... or, take the hosted tour . There is a lot of history in this place... check out the hanging room.
Great place to see some real idaho history, been here a few times and I have had some odd occurrences in the "new" building and the laundry room.
Lots of cool history in this prison . Good museum .
I was surprised how interesting this truly was. Well done!
Very fascinating place!

One of Boise's great things to do in the winter! Tonight's the last night & it's beautiful! - Matt H.
Great view of DT Boise in day or dusk, also plenty of opportunity to off-road your vehicle - Clint Golub
another favorite photo location. Lots of nooks and crannies and especially along the water. Gorgeous! watch for crowds in fall, though. - Marit Welker
Winter Garden Aglow is great - beat the chilliness by sipping hot chocolate and enjoying the beautifully lit gardens. Summer concert series is a great picnic opportunity as well! - Kylie
Fries obviously! You can also have a delicious burger on the side with your basket of fries. - Green Hippie
Good drip coffee, has spice and nuttiness. Pretty good for coffe on tap. Spacious location too. - Branden Hunt
