Big Red’s Barn is a fast-growing, USDA-licensed interactive indoor animal experience that offers families, schools, and visitors the opportunity to connect with animals through hands-on encounters, feeding experiences, and educational programming. Unlike traditional zoos, Big Red’s Barn is designed as a climate-controlled, year-round destination focused on small-group interaction, animal welfare, and unforgettable guest experiences.



The flagship Big Red’s Barn location in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho has demonstrated strong consumer demand, high guest satisfaction, and repeat visitation through admission, animal encounters, season passes, and birthday parties. The brand has built a loyal following through its unique mix of education, entertainment, and ethical animal care.



This listing represents the opportunity to open the first Big Red’s Barn franchise location in the Boise market. Boise is one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the region, with a strong base of young families, rising incomes, and limited competition for premium indoor family entertainment. The area is well suited for a destination-style animal experience that can operate year-round and serve as a hub for birthdays, school groups, and special events.



Big Red’s Barn fills a niche that is currently underserved in Boise: a hands-on, ethical, and educational animal experience. While the Boise Zoo offers large outdoor exhibits, it does not provide the small-group, interactive encounters that make Big Red’s Barn unique. Instead, Big Red’s Barn competes most closely with trampoline parks, indoor play centers, and birthday party venues, yet stands apart by offering live animal interactions that create emotional connection and lasting memories.



Franchisees receive exclusive rights to the Boise territory, along with the full Big Red’s Barn brand, operating system, animal care protocols, and marketing support. The franchise includes training at the flagship location, site selection and build-out guidance, staff training, pricing and ticketing systems, and ongoing operational support. All locations operate under strict animal welfare, safety, and guest experience guidelines to ensure brand consistency and ethical operations.



This is an opportunity for a qualified buyer to enter a proven, experience-driven business with strong growth potential, meaningful community impact, and the backing of a successful flagship operation. Big Red’s Barn is positioned to become a leading name in interactive animal experiences, and Boise represents an ideal market for its next chapter of expansion.
