Katelyn's Boise/ Meridian Guidebook
Shopping, park, and best happy hour spot for variety of foods
The Village is a ten min drive from home. Super popular among all who live in meridian. It’s an outdoor/indoor mall, restaurants, park, holiday events all in one. My personal favorite is early bird dining for happy hour specials or Cinnaholic for a cinnamon roll topped with cookie dough the size of your face
Has something for everyone. Kids, teen, adult popular shopping stores, outdoor park next to coffee and wine shop, upscale restaurants as well as quick bites and yummy dessert spots

Tipps für Reisende
Verkehrsmittel
Car travel is most popular, bike or walk second
Uber is common here. Parking isn’t an issue ever in meridian, downtown boise has plenty of parking garages or neighborhoods that allow paid or free parking depending on time of day.
Mit Kindern reisen
So many outdoor and indoor parks or facilities for kids
Roaring springs in meridian is the perfect water park, but always pretty busy! Discovery and Kleiner park are two popular meridian parks. Jabbers and jump time are perfect for rainy day play

Bräuche und Kultur
Differences between each city.
1- Boise- more melting pot, has downtown scene and all the sporting and concert events. Also plays host to boise state university. Boise LDS temple / 2- Meridian- plays host to larger families. Eagle road is the busiest road in Idaho and runs right through meridian and eagle. Meridian LDS temple located in north meridian. If you live in meridian you often stay here because it has everything you could need without having to leave eagle road. / 3- Eagle- smaller city and teeming with people from california especially trying to move in. More upscale and highest priced homes.
