30 YEARS OF FOSTERING A LOVE OF THE OUTDOORS
The MK Nature Center
The Morrison Knudsen Nature Center in Boise, Idaho first opened its doors in July of 1990. Owned and operated by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, it has established itself as a premier location in the Treasure Valley for wildlife viewing, education, and experiences.
Nestled along the Boise River in the heart of the capital city, the MK Nature Center's 4.6 acres offer various habitats and attract an array of local wildlife. Fish-viewing windows offer a "fish eye view" of native aquatic ecosystems.
