Nice playground designed as an old wagon and fort - cute and great for kids 3-8ish. Included a swing for mothers or bigger kids with disabilities. Statues are a bit grotesque looking but adds to the charm. Apparently the "Bigfoot" statue is based on measurements on an outlaw with gigantism, but the anatomy is a bit off. Makes for a fun roadside stop.
Wow! If you love ❤️ to go back in time ⏲️ from the pioneers to today. This is the place. $1 donation recommended, but not required. However, it is definitely worth more than $1. Inside the Fort is your empty square courtyard surrounded by individual rooms. Each room takes you back in time where you get to see different outfits from days of old, a ton of old newspaper articles, pictures, and historical artifacts to look at, etc.
Great playground for kids, (picture 📸 attached)

This place is open June, July, and August from 1-3pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
If you do decide to visit, you really should visit on Old Fort Boise days celebration, normally in June, with lots of hands on activities for kids, vendors, a parade, and even a car show, etc.
Cool place if you're looking to learn about the area. Went on a Thursday so we missed the chance to do the replica fort. Bathroom was clean. It has a shower that you can pay to use. I think the price was 5 dollars. Food truck.
