What to do and see in Idaho, United States: The Best Fun Activities & Games
A mixture of forested mountains, alpine peaks, wildflower meadows, deep river canyons, and high plains deserts, Idaho is a paradise for golf, skiing, fly fishing, and river rafting. Boise, the capital, is the state's largest city and airline hub. North of Boise are golf, lake, and ski resorts from McCall in the south to Sandpoint and Coeur D'Alene in the north. East of Boise are the ski slopes of Ketchum and Sun Valley. East of Sun Valley are Craters of the Moon National Monument, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and the small town of Island Park just across the border from Yellowstone National Park. Boise's Basque Museum and Cultural Center reflects having the largest Basque population in the U.S. Reflecting Idaho's diverse heritage, near the Idaho Historical Museum in Boise's Julia Davis Park is the Idaho Black History Museum's chronicle of the slave York who served the Lewis & Clark Expedition. After a family visit to the Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey and an outdoor performance at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, the next stop after Boise is likely to be Payette Lake in McCall or Sun Valley and Ketchum. About 100 miles north of Boise, past Cascade Lake, McCall takes you to the shores of Payette Lake. Go golfing, fishing, hiking, biking, waterskiing, sailing, boating, or whitewater river rafting. Ski or snowshoe Brundage Mountain or Tamarack Resorts, as well as Ponderosa State Park in winter. Ice skate year-round at Manchester Ice & Event Centre. About 450 miles north of Boise, there are resort lakes near skiing and golf at Coeur d'Alene, Hayden Lake, and Sandpoint. Golf, tennis, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, rafting, and hunting are popular in Sun Valley and Ketchum. Sockeye salmon may no longer do much spawning in Redfish Lake, but the boating and mountain scenery in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area make the short trip north to Stanley worthwhile. When the snows come the whole family will head for the slopes of Soldier Mountain, Bald Mountain, Dollar Mountain, or the Sun Valley Resort. A tiny forested town of about 250 people, Island Park has a large reservoir with fishing and boating, as well as Henry's Fork of the Snake River for fly fishing. It's only 15 miles from Yellowstone as well.

We did the Wizarding Room and had a blast. Jhase was the host, and he was awesome and super helpful. There were two of us, and we literally got down to the last two minutes. We found it challenging, in a good way, and definitely plan to come back to check out the Jungle Room.

This was my first time playing an escape game and my daughter's second time. The theme was Greek Gods - and that is a huge interest of hers. It took me a moment to figure out what exactly was expected, but clues definitely helped. All in all, we were able to win the game literally at the last second. It was an awesome experience and we would highly recommend. Also, due to COVID, it was only the two of us, without any strangers - and that made it a much better experience, as we could solve it ourselves, without having other people do all the work. I would encourage you to continue running it that way.

The experience is like being inside a movie instead of watching one. The clues led to puzzles, and the puzzles led to more clues, and so on. The last leg of the journey was like a cliffhanger of intensity and urgency that our team experienced - a total bonding experience, well worth it and so much fun!
