Freak Alley

I’ve been visiting Freak Alley since shortly after moving to Idaho. More than two decades later, I finally wondered: Who decides what stays, what gets painted over and which artist gets the wall next?

Things have slowed down over the last couple of years for the Alley with the pandemic. A few new murals were added during Treefort in 2020 but since that no real art changes since 2018. That is all about to change, and so it the Alley. Do you think you have what it takes to make your mark one of the most popular walls in all of Idaho?

Time traveling on Google Maps is fun, but unfortunately the car can’t drive through what’s quite possibly the most unique space in Downtown Boise - Freak Alley Gallery!

Boise is one of the best places in the world to live and to visit. If you think otherwise, you need to experience these exciting, unique, beautiful, and cultural places and things to do. Best of all, the items below are all absolutely free. Whether you grew up here, live here, are new to the area, visit here or want to show your friend and family who visit the Treasure Valley around, this list can be your great budget travel guide.

Freak Alley is a visit that should be added to your Bucket List. The best part is it keeps changing. See the carefree stroll in Downtown Boise with over 100 photos to tempt you.

My first Boise visitor has arrived.. my Grandma, or GMo as we call her!

The alley will soon be upgraded!

Boise's aquarium has been open since 2011. Have you checked it out yet?

If you've lived in Boise for more than five minutes and haven't made a trip to see Freak Alley, you're doing yourself a disservice.
