To commemorate this milestone, AARP Idaho is inviting AARP members and invited guests to join us August 6 for an evening at Zoo Boise. You’ll receive admission to the zoo while enjoying complimentary ice cream, refreshments and shaded pavilions. Ride the carousel, feed the goats, we’ll even have face painting for the kids (or adults). It’s an entirely new way to enjoy the zoo and an evening the whole family will enjoy!
