Operated by the Boise Parks and Recreation Department, it serves as a public ceremonial and meeting space as well as a popular tourist attraction.

One of the main features of the Boise Depot is the Great Hall, a grand 3,542-square-foot multi-story atrium that used to serve as the building's waiting room. The hall can accommodate up to 300 people standing or 165 people seated. The original 1925 Barkalow Brothers Newsstand is also on display, offering a unique touch of history to the space.
The Great Hall's ceiling is adorned with Spanish trusses, each featuring imprints of antique locomotives. Overall, Boise Depot is a must-visit destination for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone looking to host a special event in a unique and historic setting.

"We were checking the depot it for a future event. There were great views and interesting history."
"Fantastic venue! Easy to reserve and to facilitate. The staff are great! 10/10 recommend reserving for your private event."
"The view is simply breathtaking. I went with my husband as a finale to our date night and I was very happy. It was perfectly chilly but not cold . The view is fantastic and its a great place to enjoy the love you have for Boise and its people. Will return as I have been since 1998. We did not go into the depot as it was closed . We were there at 830pm on a Saturday but I will have to go inside the depot as well."
"Nice train depot. You can rent it for events. You can take the elevator to the top of the Bell Tower and see in all 4 directions."
"Best place to watch the sunset, great view of downtown Boise. Stop by to watch the sun go down or just enjoy the city & mountain views!"
