We came here to see the lava flows because we didn't plan to drive all the way to Craters of the Moon. (In an unexpected turn of events, we did anyway....so it makes a good comparison for this review.) It was snowy, but we could still see the lava rocks and how they are all holey and stacked up. It was a very interesting terrain. You just stop at the rest area and it is very well marked of where to go off of I-15 South between Idaho Falls and Blackfoot. We actually enjoyed this stop more than when we got over to Craters of the Moon because this time of year, the road at the park is closed so we couldn't really see anything. We did see bear scat here so know that you are not alone even though it feels very remote!

This is a very nice park with something for everyone. We just needed to get out of the car and walk for a while and this was a great place to do it. The park is located on the eastern side of the river below the Rose Hill cemetery. We accessed it from South Boulevard. The park itself has sports fields, amusement rides for the kids, a playground, tennis courts, a ferris wheel, picnic areas and benches. It is a great place for families with children. We walked and them opted to sit and watch all the activity in the park. The zoo is located in the park but we did not have the time to visit it. A great oasis in the city of Idaho Falls for rest and relaxation.

A very nice memorial. During our visit to Idaho Falls one of our planned stops for our family reunion group was to visit this memorial. One of my brothers in law and also my husband both served in the Vietnam War. They used the map of Vietnam that is carved into the sculpture to talk and educate the rest of our group about some of the locations where they were stationed and about some of the happenings. Very interesting.

Brought my daughters for the mermaid show on Saturdays. you can meet the mermaids around noon prior to the show, there is no additional fees to watch the show. It takes place in their shark tank! Yes they are swimming with sharks! This place is always expanding and getting better all the opening issues like smell, leaks, and temperature have been repaired so it is definitely worth the visit, this place has come a long way and I will certainly be coming back.
