Visit the Pocatello Zoo at Ross ParkRoss Park is also home to the Pocatello Zoo, dedicated to the preservation and understanding of native North American animals.  The animals are displayed throughout 18 acres of natural one-of-a-kind landscapes.  The park is also home to the Fort Hall Replica, a reproduction of the pioneer town Pocatello Junction, and the Bannock County Museum.

 

Pocatello is also home of the Fort Hall Replica.
The replica of the stockade trading post tells the story of one of the most thrilling periods of American history, when a young nation full of adventure and wanting new lands began the trek Westward migration that any nation had known. It is also located in upper Ross Park next to the Pocatello Zoo.


The Portneuf Greenway has nature filled trails at either end of the community and islands of green for ordinary pedestrians in the Historic Old Town area.  The citizens of Pocatello were unwilling to allow their community to suffer the fate of many downtown areas.  A few years ago they created Old Town Pocatello, and started the restoration of the heart of their community.  The area is now home to Simplot Square which is the scene of fountains and sculpture, numerous art galleries, restaurants of all types from gourmet cuisine to push cart hot dogs, and a thriving retail and commercial area. 


 
Pocatello is proud to host the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo, where rodeo champions from across the nation competed head to head and against each other to decide the winner of the gold  buckle of the National Circuit Championship.  If you feel the need for speed, The Pocatello Super Speedway offers our local versions of Gasoline alley.

 

The L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center will be an impressive 110,000 square foot facility on the Idaho State University campus.
Its magnificent architectural design will make it the most extraordinary building of its kind in Idaho, boasting three versatile performance venues and auxiliary spaces designed for academic work and community enjoyment.
