Idaho Falls things to do

We are flying into Idaho Falls and we get in late at night so we are opting to stay the night. If we do we don%26#39;t need to rush out of there the next morning before heading to our next destination in Island Park. What should we do along the way? I heard there is a zoo is this worth stopping by to do?

Be sure and take the Mesa Falls Scenic Byway when you get to Ashton. It parallels Highway 20 for about 15 miles and then merges back with 20 near Island Park. At Mesa Falls you can walk down boardwalk until you are right on top of the falls. It%26#39;s pretty cool.

Hi got2btmom,

Yes, Idaho Falls does have a (small) zoo. It%26#39;s located in Tautphaus Park, on the east side of town. They have a reciprocity agreement with other zoos around the country, so if you%26#39;re a member of your local zoo in Florida, admission would be free. There%26#39;s also a facility called Bear World located along Hwy20 between Rigby and Rexburg (which would be on your way to Island Park from Idaho Falls). You can drive through and the animals will come up to your car. It%26#39;s really pretty fun.

I%26#39;d also second the above suggestion about taking the Mesa Falls byway when you get to Ashton - definitely worth doing and not out of your way at all.

Enjoy your trip!

Thanks for the advice. I think we will do Bear World and take the Mesa falls scenic byway.

Hey, you didn%26#39;t mention when you are planning your visit - but I just saw in the paper today that Hwy 20 between Rigby and Rexburg will be starting construction this month and will have delays for most of the summer. Sorry - but thought you%26#39;d like to know.
