Boise Museum Association

The WaterShed Environmental Education Center
CLOSED FOR EXTENSIVE RENOVATIONS THROUGH SUMMER 2024
Dive into the world of water and learn how you can help protect and conserve our resources. The education center is a LEED-certified building that features hands-on exhibits, a theater, library and the largest collection of Public Art in Idaho.
The River Campus, located on the 2-acres surrounding the education center, tells the story of our watershed from source water to the Snake River through art, landscaping and a water feature. Experience being a water manager and releasing water from a dam, splashing in the open river channel and setting siphon tubes in the agricultural exhibit. A sewer pipe play area and interactive trail with nature play stations make the River Campus a repeat destination for your family or group.
Enjoy free admission year-round and free events every third Saturday of each month that promote environmental stewardship with activities and tours.
