Zoo Boise is a municipal zoo based in Boise, Idaho. Operated by the City of Boise and supported by Friends of Zoo Boise, a separate nonprofit, it aims to connect visitors with animals and involve the community in wildlife conservation. The facility is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, reflecting adherence to established standards of animal care and guest experience. The Friends of Zoo Boise contributes to animal acquisitions, capital improvements, education programs, volunteer opportunities, and special events to broaden public awareness and appreciation of wildlife, habitats, and conservation. Zoo Boise engages the community through education programs and hands-on camps and classes as part of its broader conservation mission. In 2026, the zoo announced the opening of a new education campus, a $5.6 million investment intended to expand conservation-focused programming.
