They charge for parking during the busy summer season. The visitors center displays different types of animals indigenous to the area, however it closes after the busy season. The trail is well defined, you must stay on the path and much of it is boardwalk and lots of stairs, but don't let that scare you it is fairly easy. The view of the falls is spectacular. It is well worth the drive.

This is a great place in winter and summer. You can snowmachine, snowshoe, cross country ski, dirt bike, mountain bike, UTV, hiking, fishing, camping, float the river. It is a beautiful place year round. We love floating down the river at Big Springs. If you drive to Macks Inn there is a boat rental that rents boats, Kayaks and canoes. The river is not very deep and it is so slow it is fun for all ages to enjoy together.

Saint Anthony is home to the best sand dunes in the U.S. People come from all over to ride the dunes. You can rent them or bring your own. Every August they have a big event called "UTV Invasion" where vendors and UTV enthusiasts gather. In the winter many will head out to the dunes to go sledding. They will take out wood to burn, marshmallows to roast and get a big bonn fire going to stay warm and then sled into the night.

This is where the locals go on hot days. I believe it is $15 per car unless you purchase a summer pass. There are board and tube rentals, a playground, volleyball area. a few food trucks, public bathrooms, and lots of sand and water. There is a floating dock with slide on it. Be sure to take your own umbrella or sun shade, because it doesn't offer many covered areas to protect you from the sun.

It's small, but the food is usually good and fresh. You can be in and out quickly or stay and linger. We enjoy Thai food and feel this is one of the best we've had in Idaho. I stay away from ordering things with fish sauce (I'm not a fan).

This place is super convenient and close to our home. The food is sometimes disappointing and sometimes good, not consistent. I know some people that really like it, I am not one of those people. I do like their chips and salsa and usually go with a taco salad when I eat here because I'm a little picky about Mexican food and find that I'm happier with Taco Time or Taco Bell than this place. However the atmosphere of this place is good and they can cater to larger groups for special events.

This is typical run of the mill Chinese food. I love eating Chinese food for New Years and my favorite part is the fortune cookie after the meal. If you can drive to Idaho Falls Happy Chinese is actually better, but if you want convenience Fong's is OK.

This place opened in Rexburg June 2018 and is only open Thursday, Friday, Saturday. They bake their cookies in Rigby and bring them to this new store front. They have so many different kinds of cookies and their shop is so cute I feel like I've been transported to Europe or a larger city. If you get the chance you really should try this place, it is my new favorite!

If you want to order separately that's fine too. We always get the buffet.
