Museum of Best Things to Do in Idaho Falls
A must for those looking to learn more about the history of the state, the Museum of Idaho lies in the heart of downtown. Boasting an exhaustive list of artifacts and exhibits, its collection covers the various peoples and places that have shaped the Gem State.
Only opened in 2003, it occupies a magnificent modern building that connects the historic Carnegie Library and Masonic Temple. Its well-done displays and dioramas shine a light on not just the early origins and geology of the state but trappers, traders and modern technology too. Hands-on exhibits and activities help young ones stay engaged with play areas, photos and film clips dotting its floors
On top of the museum’s excellent educational and outreach programs, it also regularly hosts top-class traveling exhibits.
