The Idaho Fish and Game MK Nature Center offers a unique wildlife experience on a 4.6-acre site along the Boise River Greenbelt. The StreamWalk and Visitor Center provide a glimpse of Idaho's many landscapes and abundant wildlife. Underwater viewing windows along the stream walk give visitors a fish-eye view of the world.

An observation beehive gives visitors and up-close look at the activity in the hive while also learning the importance of pollinators. The auditorium viewing windows offer opportunities to watch birds as they visit feeders. Make sure to stop by the gift shop for nature-themed gifts.
