Idaho is home to some cool wildlife such as bears, moose, and wolves. However, when you want to see animals up close and in person, you don’t have to travel far. At Idaho’s best-kept secret, the Idaho Falls Zoo at Tautphaus Park, you can spend a gorgeous day outdoors, enjoying and learning more about all types of creatures.
