4th of July weekend is always a good time in Boise. A lot of the times, considering it's a long weekend for most people, families leave town. But that's not always the case and Boise residents who stay for the 4th of July always rave about how much fun it is.

You could float the river, hang out in one of Boise's many parks, go for a bike ride, and watch the fireworks at night! But one thing that could make the 4th of July weekend extra special is a family trip to the Zoo!

In honor of the 250th anniversary of America Zoo Boise is doing $2.50 tickets for the 4th of July and the 5th of July. This could mean your whole family gets into Zoo Boise and you'll barely have to spend any money! Zoo Boise is always a blast and going when tickets are this cheap feels like a must!
