This time of year, Boise, Idaho attractions are going to include local Easter eggs hunts. While plenty of people will be planning personal hunts for their kids in the backyard of their piece of Boise real estate, others will want to be a little more social. Or they need to find an egg hunt in Boise, because they’re visiting the area for the holiday.
