Zoo Amenities
A few of our services and amenities include:
Food & Drink
The main plaza-based Expedition Grill offers a variety of menu options, from grilled classics and healthy meal choices to fun snacks. The newly refurbished Kijiji Market Cafe, located near the giraffe exhibit, features local favorites and sweet treats. (Kijiji is currently open Friday – Sunday.)
When the weather cooperates, Zoo Boise provides even more tasty options, like the Coffee & Dots Cart and treats available at the Carousel.
As part of Zoo Boise’s commitment to sustainability, the Expedition Grill and Kijiji Market Cafe use Biocompostable products such as plates, cups, and utensils. These items are made from annually renewable resources like sugar cane fiber, corn, or potato starch instead of non-renewable resources like petroleum (plastic and Styrofoam). They also use less energy to produce.
Gift Shop
Our brand-new Zoo Boise Trading Outpost gift shop (opened May 2025!) is the one stop you don’t want to miss! We carry a great assortment of fun and educational souvenirs, clothing, toys, and more… all with a wildlife and environmental theme.
Friends of Zoo Boise members also receive a 10% discount on all Zootique purchases!
To reach the gift shop, call (208) 608-7757.
