The Aquarium of Boise is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization and is the only public aquarium located in South-East Idaho, and serves and supports the communities in Idaho and Eastern-Oregon. Our Mission is to educate and inspire the conservation and enhancement of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems through hands-on interaction. We strive to enhance the quality of life for all terrestrial 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. The Aquarium of Boise is compliant with regulatory agencies, which include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Idaho Fish and Game, Idaho Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture's (APHIS program) and the Idaho Humane Society. Our 10,000 square foot facility houses over 35,000 gallons of saltwater and over 250 different species of animals and marine life. Our collection includes animals that do not live in the ocean, but have come from local donations from the community. These animals include iguanas, freshwater turtles and fish, snakes and lizards. We do accept animals, but only within the guidelines and rules of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. We appreciate the communities support in helping to maintain our operations, through our volunteer board members, and over 35+ individual volunteers that supply their time and talents to support the educational and conservation mission of the Aquarium of Boise. We are truly a community supported Aquarium and appreciate all of the support!For more information about the Aquarium of Boise, please visit our website at www.AquariumBoise.netThank you!~ Aquarium of Boise Staff and Volunteers
