The Boise Airport, a gateway to the world for many local residents, is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a special event this weekend. On Saturday, June 6th, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the airport will host a free, behind-the-scenes tour that offers a unique look at its operations.

What to Expect

This event is designed for all ages and promises to be both educational and entertaining. Participants will have the opportunity to get up close with airfield trucks and other large equipment, engage in hands-on STEM activities, and enjoy plane spotting from the airfield—a vantage point not typically accessible to the public.

In addition to these activities, attendees can play various airport and airplane-themed games and enjoy food from local food trucks. The event is a rare chance to see what happens behind the scenes at the Boise Airport, including how checked bags are handled and what makes the airport’s operations possible.

Event Details

The tour is completely free, making it an excellent option for summer fun. The City of Boise officials advise participants to dress appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable shoes, as there will be a lot of walking involved. Additionally, a security screening will be required upon entry, so attendees should plan accordingly.

For those interested in attending, more information about the event, including a parking map, can be found on the Boise Airport’s website.
