Getting there
131 W Myrtle Street, Boise, ID, 83702
The map point is the center of Boise, so it is approximate; use the street address. Free parking is in the lot next to the building.
The pin marks the site itself, not necessarily the entrance (43.60852, -116.19859). Apple Maps directions go to the street address instead. Show on our map · Google Maps · Apple Maps
