Family Visiting for the Holidays? Show Them a Great Time in the Treasure Valley

The winter holiday season is finally here! For most of us, this is the most wonderful time of the year as we wrap up another successful 12 months, prepare for the next, and enjoy some much-needed time with our loved ones. If you live in the Boise area and are hosting family this holiday season, you’ll want to give them the best impression of the area. Here are a few fun activities that show the best of Boise and the surrounding areas.



Hit the Slopes

Whether you shred the gnar or spend most of your mountain time cozy in the lodge, you have plenty of opportunity for both in the Treasure Valley. Round up the group and head up to Bogus Basin for a fun day on the slopes. They cater to all skill levels and will get your out-of-towners set up with rental gear too! Make it an all-day thing, and after you get back into the city, grab a bite and warm up at one of the premier downtown Boise restaurants.

Root for the Home Team

Although the BSU football season is coming to a close, there are still plenty of home teams to root for in the Treasure Valley. Most notably, the Idaho Steelheads hockey season is in full swing down at the CenturyLink Arena. They typically play a few games per week, and if you’re lucky enough to catch them during a home stretch, it’s a fun evening event to enjoy with your family.

Shop Till You Drop

If the holidays haven’t arrived yet or your family loves shopping, head to The Village at Meridian for an afternoon of retail therapy. You’ll find dozens of shops selling everything from dresses to fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, and there’s a movie theater too. It’s almost like a small town within Meridian, and you could easily spend an entire afternoon there if you have some time to kill.

Stroll Through Winter Garden aGlow 

Every winter, the Idaho Botanical Garden transforms into a winter wonderland with over 400,000 lights spread throughout the 14-acre property. If you and your family enjoy driving around to look at Christmas lights, you’ll love strolling through the gardens with hot cocoa in hand. Just make sure to bundle up because Boise can get pretty chilly this time of the year.

Host a Fine Dining Private Dinner

Food and family go hand in hand, and chances are you’re planning to host some kind of family dinner this holiday season. Why not make it a private fine dining experience at one of Boise’s top-rated restaurants? Chandlers is known for their sophisticated atmosphere, premium steaks, and for serving some of the freshest seafood Boise offers. They are also ready to help you host your private holiday get-togethers. Reach out to them to reserve your holiday meal early, and your family will be extremely impressed.
