Boise Depot (8.7 acres) is the former train station in the western United States, opened in 1925, at an elevation of 2,757 feet above sea level.nnYou can see the stunning city skyline and foothills from the Depot patio. The bell tower is 96 feet tall and can be seen throughout the city at night.nnThe great hall of the Boise Depot is a 3,542 square foot multi-story atrium. It has six arched entrances. Big Mike (Engine No. 2295), a Mikado-type steam locomotive, built-in 1920, is placed on the east side of the Boise Depot which is one of the main attractions here.nnThe Boise Depot has a garden with a winding walkway, benches, a pond, a monument of volcanic rock, and planter beds with seasonal flowers that were designed by Spanish landscape architect Ricardo Espino. The pond has different types of large fishes swimming in the pond.nnIt is the best place for picnic and taking photos. I used to go there during my evening walk and I always felt refreshed visiting there. I love this place. I definitely recommend it if you are visiting Boise.
Neat spot for Idaho history and to enjoy beautiful weather! It also has the best view of downtown Boise, to take pictures of with the capitol building in the shot!
The Boise Train Depot is a classic spot for a family outing or photography sessions! I’ve photographed a few different sessions here, from weddings to seniors. The Depot is beautiful year round, especially with the view of downtown Boise! It’s particularly pretty if you go in Spring or Fall with all of the flowers and plants around. If you’re looking for an intimate, classy wedding venue, I’d definitely recommend the Depot! I’ve photographed multiple weddings here and each one is able to transform the space into something unique. The staff always seems on top of things and there’s a cute bridal suite for the people to get ready in! Plus, they usually allow you to go up in the bell tower!
Beautiful train, depot, and clock tower. The steam train is beautiful and big and great for pictures. The inside of the depot has nice original benches and lights, and original bells (4 of them) in the clock tower. Good place for photo ops
Boise Depot is beautifully restored and has historic displays from the era of early train travel. My great grandfather was a conductor with Union Pacific based out of Boise Depot. It is wonderful to share that history with my children, his great, great grandchildren.nRide the elevator to the top of the Bell tower for a panoramic view of Boise.
