Mission
To Enhance the quality of life for all terestrial and aquatic animals by teaching and inspiring people of all ages to better understand, care for, and conserve all life on our planet to ensure a greater future for us all
Program accomplishments
- Aquarium of Boise houses over thirty exhibits with over 250 different species of fish, ampibians and tropical birds from around the world. A kid favorite, the shark and ray tank allows visitors to feed and pet them under staff supervision. Informational exhibits are located around the aquarium highlighting conservation issues. The aquarium also has a quarantine and hospital area that is not open to the public, but is used to care for animals and aclimate new residents to live in Boise. We educated over 100,000 visitors in 2024 about life in the aquarium, conservation efforts and oceans in general. When possible we transport fish, reptiles and birds to community events and classrooms in the Boise area.Expenses $925,976
