Top 50 things to do and attractions in Palm Desert

A hot 90° but pleasant trip to the Living Desert zoo & Gardens. It was off season on a Tuesday afternoon, so it wasn't crowded at all. We were able to take our time. I really enjoyed their model trains and miniature city! Learn names of the plants & Cacti. The big cats are beautiful. Visited the nutrition center and vet hospital. We saw a bunch of baby tortoise, the 2 new super cute baby giraffe, 2 wallaby with joeys in their pouches. And a new comer, a badger. There was a ton of construction happening, so I'll have to come back when that's finished to see the new lion exhibit and during the season when its bustling! Super friendly staff and feed the giraffe.

Visited here with my boyfriend, mom and toddler. We’re from out of town and were skeptical about spending $40 each to get in, but I’m so glad we did. We spent a couple hours there and easily could have spent some extra time there. They let you feed the giraffes which I thought was so cool and probably the highlight for me. They just had babies in September so that was also really cool. We were there at just the right time as they just added an exhibit for monkeys. I love me some monkeys. They also recently added a splash pad for kids to play at and that was a great little stop to cool down for my little one. I loved how open the exhibits were and how much extra space the animals had comparative to some of the other zoos I’ve been to. Highly recommend checking this zoo out.

This place is absolutely amazing. You can tell this is a sanctuary for animals and not a place where they are put on display. The staff care so much for these animals and it shows. My husband and I visit every year and we also love to come for the holiday light fest they have at night during late November through December. It’s such a gorgeous place to visit and walk through. Literally fun for all ages. I fed the giraffes this time too and it was so awesome to be so up close with them. You can also be up close with the wallaby’s in their enclosure and watch them hop around which was so fun.

We found this on our visit to Palm Springs and decided to take a couple hours out of our day and go. Ticketing was very easy and there was no line to speak of. Loved the way the grounds were laid out and the different fauna and flora, the towering palm trees, the agaves, aloes and the different types of desert plant life. We were surprised to see as many active animals as we did and the number of animals was impressive. The gentleman at the rhino exhibit took his time and gave us lots of info on the rhino’s. Fun and informative way to spend a coupe hours while in the Palm Springs area.

Excellent place for all ages! Great interactions with the animals and staff. Plenty of places to eat or bring your own food and drink. Handicap accessible for a majority of the park. There are several unpaved trails that take you through the botanical cactus deserts. There is also a beginner half mile hiking trail accessible inside the park. Plenty of trees for shade while walking around the park. plenty if chairs and benches throughout the park. You could stay there all day and relax watching the animals. Will definitely make the trip to visit again!

We were there for the first time this morning. What a great zoo! It is extremely clean and well organized. The animal enclosures and habitats were great. The volunteer man who was working at the bobcat exhibit was excellent! He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Those two bobcats we're adorable. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely stunning and super organized zoo! Way more fun than I expected for just $40 ticket price! The miniture area is so sick 🤯🤯also those animal live here looks so happy, and fat! Lmao

Great golf course! We'll maintained. Awesome, friendly staff. The putting greens were in excellent condition. The driving range was in great shape as well.

What a great course!! Conditions were excellent!! All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!!

Played course on 15 June 2025. Course staff is very friendly and helpful. From the cart guys, marshall, pro shop, and diner. Everyone was top tier. The course has complimentary range balls, good practice greens, and a nice chipping area. The course itself conditions are great also. Tee boxes level, fairways cut nicely, and greens well maintained. These greens roll and roll FAST. The only critique I could say is the sand in the bunkers. They don't have much at all and definitely need more but is not a reason to give this course less than 5 stars. The marshall even came around with cold towels to keep us cool. Five star treatment and service!!! They treated our G.O.A.L. golf group with class. Definitely recommend this course to all and I will be back. THE COURSE IS CHALLENGING, THIS IS YOUR WARNING!!

Fantastic experience on Fireclif course. Good variety of holes with really cool backdrops (foliage, palms, water) on a lot of approach shots. We played in 4h, entire course was in great shape with bathroom and water stations every 3-4 holes. Greens are very reasonable, some movement to keep you focused and receptive to good shots, they're not tabletop fast which is appreciated.

We recently celebrated my parents’ afternoon wedding reception at the Desert Willow Golf Club restaurant, and it was such a beautiful and memorable experience. The setting was incredible, sweeping desert views, and an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere that made the day feel extra special. The service was outstanding from start to finish. Staff were attentive, kind, and genuinely helpful in making sure every guest felt comfortable and taken care of. The food was equally impressive, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. From appetizers to dessert, every bite was a hit with our guests. If you’re looking for a venue that blends great food, top-notch service, and breathtaking views, I highly recommend Desert Willow. It was the perfect place to celebrate such an important family moment, and we’re so grateful for the hospitality we received.

Excited to leave a 5-star review for Dessert Willow. Firecliff was amazing, with a great layout and ideal course conditions. But what stood out more than anything was the amazing customer experience. Ryan accommodated our videographer, miraculously found us morning tee times on short notice, and made us feel like a priority. After the rounds, Sydney was a joy to chat with as he polished our clubs after the round. Desert willow will definitely be a place we come back to for our yearly Palm Springs golf trip. Thank you, Ryan, for the 6:50 tee times!!

I can't say enough about this course, and the staff at Desert Willow. Me and my brothers flew from across the country to play here, and we were met with the kindest and most accommodating staff I've ever witnessed. Ryan is an all-star. He exemplified what top notch customer service is meant to be. I'm already looking forward to our next golf trip here. Anyone searching for a 5-star golf experience in Palm Springs, look no further than Desert Willow.

Great Theater that provides some really great productions. From the symphony, to ballet, and plays for all ages. Keep supporting the performing arts everywhere!! Thank you for all the hard work that all put in.

The Mannheim Steamroller performance was absolutely incredible! The performers are extremely dedicated with impeccable talents!

Be careful when using a promo code on their website. It is common practice everywhere (but not with their website) to put your tickets in the cart first, then enter a promo code. It is well known that a promo code will be rejected if you do not have items in your cart. Nowhere on their website does it say to enter a promo code FIRST before adding seat selection or you will NOT be able to get your discount, nor did it tell me the promo code would not be used. It showed my promo code accepted at the top. So I made my purchase and the discount was not given, which was corrected by staff later. I called the business phone number and spoke to a female ticket employee. She was not helpful even though I explained that it excepted the promo code. Another staff member helped me later. This review is to help others, since it's not noted on their platform.

We had mobile tickets to see the Grinch that stole Christmas on November 2, 2025. When we arrived 45 minutes before the show, we were advised they were unable to scan our mobile tickets and would have to get in line which was around the block to get a paper ticket. We both have mobility issues so we had to wait until the line was short enough to proceed. As we stood in line way past show time, we were motioned in without a paper ticket after an employee wrote down our mobile ticket number. Once we got in to our box seats we had missed 30 minutes of the show that started on time even though many off us were still outside waiting to get in. As a result of this mess, we found two people in our seats as we arrived. They were seated in seats one and two which is totally obstructed to the stage. We had three and four. These folks figured we weren't coming and decided to take our seats. They moved. Very disappointed in McCallum. They relied on technology to expedite arrivals but not prepared to regroup when their scanners were inoperable.

A lovely building with good acoustics. However, there is no center aisle, so we were continuously standing up so people could get to their seats. Parking was very convenient.

Not a bad seat in the house! Barry Manilow exceeded expectations! The parking, the scenery, the ambiance, the staff . . . All impeccable! Do be cognizant of where restrooms are located. And elevators are a bit small for a venue in an area with a huge senior clientele. If you have seats in the last row, please bring a scarf. The air vents blow a bit strong up there! Will go back for more!

The most beautiful environment. The box seats were incredible, especially at the price point. The hospitality was amazing, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Extremely Covid conscious. Easy parking. We saw an intimate night with David Foster and were floored by not only the talent, show, crowd engagement and music, but the lighting, sound and overall production quality. If you can see anything here, do it. Could not recommend more.

I was on vacation in early October and it was still over a hundred degrees every day I was there. To save money I avoided getting a hotel and slept in my van instead. Luckily I found this place and was able to cool down and get a shower. Understandably it's a popular place but there was still a lane available after getting changed so I could stretch and move my body and swim laps. As soon as I got there the staff was extremely professional and friendly. The cost to get in was reasonable. The facility is very clean and that water felt incredible. I even stood under a water fall in the kid's section and let the water beat down on me as if it were massaging my neck and shoulders. Overall a very pleasant experience and if I find myself in that part of California again I'd love to go back. The water slide opened right as I was leaving so unfortunately I wasn't able to enjoy that. Another reason to go back I guess. I love aquatic centers, thanks for being there and open, I appreciate it!

Got there at 11:30 and pool water was already cloudy so I suggest getting there earlier maybe 🤔 It's cheaper to bring in your own stuff, because when I was in line for a drink and asked for a refill they said I had to wait in the long line again after I already did... Ordered some hot food at the cafe because it smelled really good from other people eating from there and I started eating some waffle cut fries and they were not cooked all the way and also my friend that I went with said the same... It's adorable but a busy place that should be managed a lil bit better 🥲

This pool looked dirty. We gave it the benefit of the doubt that the bottom was just stained, somehow. We got in, and the water was warm. We got on a slide, and water went in my mouth tasted like beach water. 🤢 I spoke to a worker and was told they just work there and have no control over whether the pool stays open or closed. This person also confirmed they've had maintenance issues all around. I went swimming on a Saturday come Monday morning. I was feeling nauseous and sick. I was also told I would need to contact the city to explain to them so they could possibly shut down the pool. We only stayed 30 minutes and left as fast as we can.

It has become less about Community and much more Commercial. Previous management was open 5am for lap swim, till 7pm pm most days. Now they only allow lap swim a few days. Open at 9am close by 3:45. No Community friendly. And Yet charge Twice as much. A petition needs to be started to have them correct this.

One of the best public outdoor pools I ever been to! New, spacious and clean facilities, reasonable price ($4 for locals and $6 for visitors). You can also rent a lock for $1. I absolutely enjoy my swim at this pool. If you don't have a pool to use at your home or hotel, then this is your place! The Civic Park next to the pool is also a nice place to hang out!

I love this place! We went to this place 2 times already. Both times were fun! My daughters loved to be here and they really enjoyed the water slides and pools.

This pool is in a fantastic location. The local rec center is very close by, but the pool itself has three great swimming pools, the kids play area, and lap planes as well. The pool is well-maintained, covered with lifeguards, and is always fairly clean. There is plenty of parking nearby in the shade of the palm trees, and the entry fees are fairly reasonable.

The stores have changed here and I still like it but it could be cleaner and have better shops

Nice, great walk, lots of stores. Most stores are top name brands. Fantasic variety of restaurants.

Minnie" Rodeo Drive" in beautiful desert setting! If you're in to being pampered this is the place to go... Plathora of beautiful art galleries too Near Famous living desert, wild animal park.! A must on your trip to the desert.!!! Free shuttle up and down the strip during the season!!

Nice area to walk around

Great place

(Translated by Google) Beautiful! (Original) Hermoso!

Well, except the parking [see photos] and signage to the memorial, it was very nice. I guess they kept the feeling of being a Jew with hiding us in the back with funky parking, weird steps, and feeling our way to find this. My ✡️ Jew heart 💙 breaks!!!!

A must see! Very Educational and enlightening. It is sobering to stand realizing how many human groups are treated as less than. American Indians, Blacks, Japanese, women, Asian, homeless, single moms, people who dress differently...the list goes on. Take a moment and ask who it is you can stop judging and remember the Holocaust began with one person's simple judgment of another.

It’s a wonderful piece of artwork exhibiting a very difficult time for the Jews. Artfully tasteful the very powerful and its message.

I Enjoy a lot was quiet and clean.

Amazing monument. Heartbreaking Holocaust Death Camp cruelty shown in great detail. Brought me to tears! I am Jewish, & can relate. My aunt was killed in the Holocaust. 😭 😔🌈💔❤️

I'm somebody who thinks he's a tough guy, I was walking my dog in the park and stumbled across this and I cried of course. Bless them all and let's spread love in their memory. It's an awesome place to feel the power of their memories.

We went to the right of the sign which I guess is more incline . So go left if you want less incline. It has a narrow path mostly. And not much to see besides rocks . But you’ll get a good workout

This is a popular local spot for a reason. The bump and grind trail is a great loop to get your daily exercise. Depending on which direction you start out, you will either have a very strenuous, steep, uphill climb right away, and then plenty of cool down later -OR- you will have a much easier start, with a much more gradual incline, but it doesn't level out for much longer and you start to feel the burn as the trek up keeps going and going. Either way, it is a great workout with nice views of Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage. If you are in decent shape, expect to complete the loop in just under an hour and a half. You can also use this as a starting point to get to other trails, but there are better trailheads for that nearby. Parking is on the street, behind the Target plaza. I should also note that because this is such a popular place, you will see all types of people here reflective of the society we live in. Specifically, you will see people who litter, play their music really loud on speaker, bring dogs on the trail, bring dogs on the trail and let them go off leash, or bring dogs on the trail and let them go off leash and don't clean up their poop. My advice is do your best to ignore them and try to enjoy the views and the exercise.

Went to the left from the trailhead. Climbing to the sky.. hot n dry but c'mon it's the desert.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ​Incredible workout, unbeatable views! ​The Bump and Grind Trail is the ultimate Palm Springs area power hike. It's a challenging climb, true to its name, but the panoramic views of the entire Coachella Valley from the top are absolutely worth the "grind." Start early, bring water, and prepare for the best leg-day views you can find! A must-do!

Active and somewhat crowded trail, but it's always noce to see people getting some good exercise. I just did a short 3 mile loop (there are several options), but it had almost 1,000 feet of vertical gain snd a steep area of descent. Not for the faint of heart, but great views up top!

Good starting place for hiking the Palm Springs area. Beautiful views along a relatively easy 2 hour hike, that has a reasonable elevation to get you working! We kept to the easier part of the loop (there is one side that gets steep). Fortunately not busy the day we hiked, although I hear the trails can get crowded. Mostly wide enough path, but a few narrow spots. Trails are easy to follow and not hard if you’re used to hiking. Parking at base is on the street. We didn’t have a problem, but during busier times I suspect it would be. (Don’t leave valuables in the car - we saw another car that had been broken into).

This is very popular with locals but was not my favorite hike in this area. Very little flora or fauna and the uphill hike was pretty steep. It was fairly windy when I hiked this trail so the air quality was not good, with dust particles flying. I may try this again when the weather is better and I don't have to hike so fast to keep up with a group.

We really enjoyed a couple beers here and some friendly conversation with the bartender just before closing. Nice little spot! Next time, we'll come with more time to stay.

First timer! Based on reviews and our experience, we rate this as #2 in area. Definitely worth the trek north of the 10. Beers were decent (would have liked more selection). They had “live” music which was fun. Downside is they don’t have food. So make sure you call ahead to make sure they have “food truck”.

The Big Stick Energy IPA is fantastic; food is great (Sonora Burger for the win). Great service and atmosphere. 80s music and football and great beer— can it get better? We had EXCELLENT service too!

My first stop into palm desert, cool environment and the bartender Colton was awesome! The black widow is a must try, I will definitely recommend this brewery!

Not what I expected, particularly after seeing the high reviews. There is very limited seating and what is there is awkward, uncomfortable, or broken. They seem to be geared more toward distribution than having a proper tap room. That's fine and all but just disappointing after trekking to the middle of nowhere. There was a wide selection of beers with a range of ABVs, and most of what I tried was good. There are no non-beer offerings. The bar tender was friendly and had good recommendations.

Came for an outdoor concert and it was a perfect night, the stage was awesome and the ladies were rockin! I love stouts and dark beers- CVB has all my favorites and some new thrills!

This place has all the best parts of a local brewery. Beer! The connection between indoor and outdoor has a little to be desired. Beer was good, food was good, comedy.... Beer was good

My wife and I visited Pacific Seafood in Palm Desert on a Friday night during a weekend getaway, and it’s clear why this place is so popular. The restaurant was absolutely packed, with the patio being the prime spot—misters sprayed to keep diners cool, and the sunset view was stunning. This a fun spot to soak in the desert vibe. We ordered the octopus appetizer, which was flavorful and well-prepared, followed by seared scallops and salmon for our mains. The scallops were delicious, but the salmon was disappointingly dry. While the food was decent overall, it didn’t quite live up to the hype and could use a bit of refinement to match the restaurant’s reputation. Service, however, was a major letdown. The staff seemed overwhelmed by the crowd, and we faced long waits for everything—taking our order, getting our food, and finally receiving the check. Prices were reasonable, and parking in the mall’s garage out back was easy, but the slow service overshadowed the experience. Pacific Seafood has potential, but they need to step up their game to keep up with the demand.

Great upscale restaurant with excellent staff and food. Impressed with their classy dining room and outdoor patio. It was our 1st time here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Came in early for their specials. Well worth it. Plenty of food at a great price. Will definitely go again.

While I had already scarfed some scrumptious seafood a few days earlier, I was still craving the sold out seared scallops I had missed out on. So, Cavemom and I decided to make the short jaunt to El Paseo for a visit to the well established Pacifica Seafood Restaurant. Though, she had been there numerous times, it was my first voyage. We started with some cocktails: Cavemom opted for her usual Crater Lake up with blue cheese stuffed olives and an ice back, while I went for their new spicy “Red Hot” signature cocktail - Milagro Silver, triple sec, strawberry purée, lime, jalapeño, with a Tahin and salt rim. Served with some of their delicious warm sourdough and butter, and an order of the Oysters on the Half Shell which came with cocktail sauce, horseradish and a cucumber mignonette (sorry, no pics). It was a great way to start our meal. For our main courses, she chose a half order of their Pan Seared Chilean Seabass with a honey-soy glaze and sesame seeds, served over ginger sticky rice, bok choy, and a green curry-coconut sauce. Meanwhile, I finally got my Seared Sea Scallops with Carrot Puree, Baby Squash, and Sugar Snap Peas (full order). Both were as good as they sound and look! While we were both fairly stuffed, my matriarch insisted that we split their world famous Pacifica's Ice Cream Pie - Vanilla ice cream, Oreo cookie crust, chocolate sauce, macadamia nuts and whipped cream (again, no pics. DOH!). Somehow, we found a way to polish it off completely, it was that delicious. My only complaint was the inattentiveness and behavior of our server which I wouldn't expect from a restaurant of this stature. Twice, I had to ask assistant servers for items I had requested from her. Plus, as I had a piece of bread in my hand about to soak up the remaining sauce on my dish, she grabbed my plate and then asked if I was done with it. My response was "I guess so" as she whisked it away. Obviously, my displeasure was reflected in her tip. Other than that, I highly recommend this place.

⸻ We had a fantastic dinner at Pacifica Seafood Restaurant last night. My partner and I were traveling, and after a long week at work we just wanted a relaxing evening with great wine and a good meal. We were fortunate to be seated in Samantha’s section — she went above and beyond! Not only was the service excellent, but her warmth and engagement truly made the night feel special. The food was outstanding: I had the swordfish, which was cooked perfectly, and my girlfriend loved her scallops. We also enjoyed a great wine selection, and the oysters were phenomenal. Highly recommend Pacifica for both the food and the experience — especially if you’re lucky enough to have Samantha as your server!

Amazing atmosphere. Clean, gorgeous and amazing views !!! Happy hour was great and half off oysters. Coming back for date. Ight this month. So far, very impressed

Have been here a handful of times and love the consistency! Always very busy, even on a recent Monday when going with a large party. They didn't have a table inside large enough for us. So they set up s couple of heatlamps for us by our table outside. Great service that night and on every previous visit! I always loved their 50% off all bottles of wine on Tuesdays. Great restaurant in a great mall located in a beautiful area of Palm Desert. I highly recommend a visit when you are in this area!

Excellent dinner. The food was all great. Service, however, was much too slow. Definitely worth trying this place.

What a lovely place. It is beautiful inside and outside. I took a few pictures of the sculptures outside.

This is always a great museum to visit. It always has great exhibits and the staff is very nice. The sculpture garden outside is always a fun place to sit and enjoy the weather while seeing great art. Many of the benefactors donate art from Picasso, Chagall and other famous artists while they are not in the area. This is a worthwhile visit while in Palm Springs.

This museum is situated in a lovely area close to food and shopping. The gardens are breathtaking! The museum itself is a treat to the soul. You can meander through the galleries in about an hour and then out to the gardens to continue the pleasant visit outdoors to be refreshed by the beauty of sculptures, water, and landscaping. You'll leave with a smile on your face. I promise!

Really enjoyed walking through the exhibit inside and then the art and nature walk outside. Entrance is free and the plants and artwork are inspiring for anyone looking for ideas for their own yards.

very knowledgeable and helpful staff and docents. An ever changing curated exhibition of world famous art with a flair for good local art as well.

I was actually at the Palm Springs Art Museum back in September of 2017, however, they also have a very nice Faye Sarkowsky Sculpture Garden just outside of the museum. Back in September of 2017, I forgot to make a video about it, however, I came back two (2) more times and the last time I made my final Youtube Video showing off the beautiful Faye Sarkowsky Sculpture Garden. The gardens are lovely with several small fountains of water coming out of them along with many cacti all around. It is a very memorable place to visit and I want to personally Thank Charles and Scott for taking ME there along with their two (2) dogs Blondie and Sumo (sorry they left Rusty the Dog at home because he acts up in the car) back on Monday, November 13, 2017.

Review for April 2021. The art museum of Palm Springs located in Palm Springs California. I'm not guilty, to say thst I love art. Visiting the art museum was definitely part of my to-do list while here in Palm Springs. It was fascinating. But what I found the most fascinating in the start of the 40th President of the United States Ronald Wilson Reagan. God Bless America

Passport stamp is available at the visitor center at the counter. Gorgeously held in the beautiful mountains with a beautiful view of the valley.

Starting on our way back East on our cross country trip with a visit to this national monument. Very nice visitor center. Informative and welcoming, the park rangers were very knowledgeable and suggested trails to visit. In our walk we spotted so many humming birds!! There is an area for a turtle, but we did not see it (even though a veggie lunch was laid out for its enjoyment). Accessible, wide paved pathways. Bathrooms and a gift shop. Plenty of parking.

The view of Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains is nothing short of breathtaking. Standing at their foothills, I was humbled by their sheer size and grandeur. The rugged peaks, often snow-capped, contrasted beautifully with the desert landscape below. Whether seen at sunrise or under the starry night sky, the view was a reminder of the wonders of nature. It's a must-see for anyone seeking awe-inspiring vistas and a connection to the power of the mountains.

Pretty cool visitor center. Make sure to take a stroll around the property. There's also a couple of hikes from the same parking lot. Apparently, they have some problem with thieves, but we really didn't see any of that!

Just a 15 minute drive from the resort we stayed at Palm Desert, our guide says there is a .5 mile, 1.5 or 2.5 mile hiking path. We did the 1.5 mile hike. It is recommend for ages 14 and older, but I took my 10 year old daughter and she was fine and could have hiked longer. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone younger than that, as there is an incline with uneven paths that might not be easy for toddlers to go. Nice experience for someone who lives in NorCal suburbs.

The garden is amazing. Visited here as part of Friends of The Desert Bird Walk About. Mark was our guide, and he shared his wealth of information freely. If you like the outdoors and want to experience the area with or without a camera... this is a wonderful venue. The facility is beautiful, the garden is impeccable and hospitality is outstanding.

Santa Rosa and San Jacinto National Monument has a wonderful interpretive walk. Desert plants are identified. And due to the winter rains, blooming plants are abundant. The Preserve also supports a variety of birds such as White-winged Dove, Costa’s Humming Bird, Gambel’s Quail, and my favorite, Phainopepla, a special bird, indeed! Spring is the time to visit, as summers can get very hot.

Easy trail but steep at some points. It’s interesting to give it a go if you don’t have any other trails in mind or if you are close by.

This is one of the best hikes I've done here in the desert. It's very scenic and especially beautiful to see the cross lit up at night. Difficulty is 4/10. Great hike for people of all ages!

This is my 2nd time doing this hike and it's a good hike when you're short on time. Total hike round trip is 3 miles and the path of the cross is challenging but not strenuous. You go up and then double back down.

One of the best hikes in the greater Palm Springs area. Dogs are welcome here. We extend the up and back hike into a loop. Coming back at the courts below and walking up the drainage shoulder.

This is a great hike and workout. It's so refreshing and peaceful on your journey up to the cross and down. Amazing scenery! Fellow hikers are very kind and they really respect the natural landscape and wildlife. Highly recommend. You can go solo, bring your kids, friends, family...

If u want a fast and semi heart pumping hike. This is your spot. Easy hike, a little steep but one of my favorite hikes. I've took my whole family hiking here and they loved it. If u time it right. It's a 30 min hike up and 20-30 min hike down. Only because I jog it down the mountain. And an awesome view of the valley 🤩 Would recommend 100%!

One of our favorite hikes in Palm Desert! Nice trail, not slippery. Amazing views, internal loop. With a few stops totally doable for midrange hikers!

Is my art good enough to be in your gallery.

Having a real horse standing outside your gallery on El Paseo was a complete turn off. Should take your artwork to the stables. Better impact! Felt sorry for the horse. Just seemed inappropriate.

Love gallery. Great service. Lots of different artists. Check out the back room. Reduced prices.

Walked by this place many times and decided to pop in. Very neat artwork here I am glad I found it. Will return when I am in the market

Wow, I am so impressed that these days in the high competition on winning the customer some shops could effort just to ignore them and act like no one cares that you walked in to the gallery and interested in buying art. Unless it’s their selling technique “To win an Art Consultant Attention” I walked in to the gallery where were at least three people who didn’t greet me or tried to approach at least little talk. I spent 10 minutes exploring collection and still no one come to me or start conversation. I left also with no one saying “Good Buy” as well. May be I was invisible for all of them :) I enjoy the art at the gallery and their collection but the atmosphere where no one trying to show that “you are welcome” to be there not feels good and coming back again.

Love this gallery. They have a great stable of artists and well worth a visit. Purchased a Jamie Perry work here a number of years ago. They're very nice to work with.

This stunning art and sculpture gallery on El Paseo has something for everyone, even if you think you aren't​the type of person who understands most art. You are sure to find something that speaks to you. Prices start from the low thousands and go up from there to unique collectables for those without a budget. Worth browsing just for fun and for the Wow factor.

It was really nice and clean. I had floor seats for a concert though and you had to walk all the way to the back if you wanted to use the bathroom and were near the front like I was. The bar options of locations also were too few. The water was almost $9 for a bottle. Way overpriced! Especially because you aren’t allowed to even bring in your own single closed bottle of water. The sound quality was great! Billy Idol up on an amazing show!!! I do wish they had a better way to keep people from running down the aisle towards the stage during the show when they didn’t pay to be in the first sections like I had. The security did a decent job at first but quickly they became overwhelmed several times and couldn’t keep people who didn’t belong from taking others seats or standing in the aisle blocking the view others had paid more money for. I wouldn’t go to this large of a venue again purely for the fact that the security couldn’t do enough to keep them in line at different songs. Also people were getting openly drunk and not able to stand up in their own and still were able to get more alcohol. It made a very irritating ending to an otherwise good show. Also not enough signs or direction to leave the floor section when it was over.

It’s a beautiful arena to watch sports and concerts. It fits just enough people to still make everyone happy and sit comfortably. The view from every angle is good and the arrangement of seats still lets you have leg room; and there are accessible seating.There’s a giant back ground screen to let you see the entertainment and capture all of the entertainment and energy derived from the artists at their capacity. The atmosphere is great and the music has an amazing sound; the technicians do a great job. The staff is hard working, very knowledgeable and friendly; and are there to immediately pick up spills and help with situations as needed. There’s plenty of parking , including accessible parking; and it is better to reserve your parking ahead of time because the price does go up and maybe already sold out. The police are great at directing the traffic and organizing routes to leave and staff is great at getting you in on time to park and assist with leaving.It is easy to get to the arena on the 10 freeway and the exits and entrances are near the arena.

Amazing new venue with modern amenities. The venue itself is great with lots of washrooms and good temperature control. Parking is incredibly expensive and a nightmare upon exit. If you’re going to charge $55 for parking, at least have attendants post shows to help direct traffic. However, all worth it for blink 🖤

Amazing venue for concerts and have been a Coachella Valley Firebirds season ticket holder since day one. My only complaint would be that concessions are very overpriced. The only redeeming thing here is that the food is all VERY good and leaps and bounds better than normal arena/stadium fare.

Acrisure is a fairly new complex just saw Billy Idol with Joan Jett pretty much every seat is a good seat its what you'd call a medium size venue I would definitely chose this complex for another concert i sat about halfway from stage i give it two thumbs 👍 up.

4 of us had VIP for Paul McCartney which included early access with VIP lounge and sound check. Well the VIP "lounge" was nonexistent.. they used a small viewing area along side their practice ice rink which was ridiculously too small and freezing cold. A refund should be given. The parking is $50. On the plus side the concert was good

This is a perfectly sized venue for sports or musical events. The parking is convenient and the place is small enough to reduce stress, but big enough to host big name shows. We went to ice hockey, and watch rock bands. This is much better than driving to LA for entertainment.

I'd like to thank our tour guide, Pace, for driving us through the San Andreas fault zone. It was an amazing tour in which I learned about the powerful forces between the 2 plates grinding and pulverizing the ground on which we stand. I enjoyed learning about the indigenous Indians, the animal and plant life. There is so much to learn. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning more about the San Andreas fault.

This was more than just a jeep ride. Tom our driver and guide has an amazing wealth of knowledge which he shared with us. We did the San Andreas Fault Tour, which included breath taking scenery and walks through the area. We definitely recommend this tour. We learned so much history of the area.

This was a fabulous tour. Our guide, Teresa, was a great driver and was fun, interesting, and informative. All of the stops were great. We were able to get some great photographs and especially loved the little trek through a slot canyon. I would definitely recommend this desert San Andreas fault tour!

We had a great tour. Darrell was our guide, was very knowledgable, friendly, and good with the kids. We saw some really interesting geography and wildlife that was made much more interesting by having him there to explain and provide context. Im glad that we took this tour.

Stunning. Pictures do not do it any justice, you have to see it! We were fortunate enough to have LeRoy as our guide, and the man was born to do this job. Super knowledgeable, but it's his spiritual connection to the land that stands out. He gave us an experience we will never forget!

Leslie and I had an amazing time doing the San Andreas fault tour. Our tour director Travis, was low key, super knowledgeable, and exceedingly accommodating. We would recommend this tour if you want to learn more about the Palm Springs, Palm Desert and surrounding valley. The tour is more about the area, the people and its history and less adventurous.

We all enjoyed the San Andreas Fault. Butch was extremely informative, interesting and he entertainined all our questions. We loved that we got to smell and sample the medicinal and cooking spices from the plants that were used the Cahulla Indians. Couldn’t imagine a more interesting and knowledgeable guide. Butch was fabulous.

We booked a 3-room and a 2-room units for a family trip, and as soon as we opened the door with anticipation and entered, the room was filled with a pleasant smell, the carpet was dirty, and the screen door attached to the door to the veranda was broken. It doesn't feel like we're at a resort. It feels like we're in a cheap apartment in a slum. A place I wouldn't want to stay again

Beautiful offices with very friendly staff.

I don’t remember actually going to the visitors center but I can say that our trip to Palm Springs was awesome. Went for a wedding and made a trip out of it.

The beautiful Sunnyland gardens are free and a must-do if you're visiting the greater Palm Springs area!

What can I say it's Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. Absolutely beautiful place to be beautiful scenery lots of things to do. Excellent restaurants and bars from Palm Springs to Coachella. The winter months are absolutely gorgeous the summer months can be brutal what temperature is hitting 125°. Plan your attire accordingly and enjoy the valley.

During my recent trip to Rancho Mirage, I got to meet Susan at the Greater Palm Springs Covention and Visitor center. I had an unbelievable experience. Susan and her team were amazing.

Great place to get guidance before you develop a plan.

Very Beautiful, Awesome Food, Lots of Shops & Fun!!! GO EARLY & BEAT THE HEAT.

This was Tommy Bahama's. Great food again. They were a bit to short staffed for about 45 minutes, but our server was still great and we didn't notice. I had the BEST drink. It's called Miss Sunshine. I could only have one because I wish I wasn't driving I would have had more...so yummy. My husband had the margarita which he really liked. For dinner, we started with the lobster bisque that we split-yummy. I had the spaghetti squash bowl, very good and my husband had the Cajun pasta and added shrimp. Both portions very big so we had leftovers.

This is a beautiful outside mall with shopping and eateries. Love even just walking around here and up and down El Paseo. Great scenery, food, and shopping businesses. It is also very pretty at night to walk around when everything is lit up. Would recommend checking this area out if you have not been. Great location!

El Paseo Shopping District,located in scenic and popular Palm Desert,California is a great day or night destination trip for great outdoor activities,shopping,dining,gallery visits and sightseeing! Located about 1-2 hours from Orange and LA Counties so you can definitely make this a nice day trip and you won't be disappointed! They have great places to grab breakfast,lunch and dinner as well drinks and coffee specialty shops. El Paseo Avenue is the main street that goes through the venue that features great pieces of traditional, lite hearted and whimsical art! The Paseo as locals refer to it is a great place for photo ops and great IG's! The Santa Rosa San Jacinto National Monument is nearby that features a great visitors center where you can grab some free maps and info about the local nature. Very safe,family,couples,friends and senior citizen oriented environment for a terrific visit! Plenty of free parking, lots of great places to visit and very picturesque So Cal desert scenery makes for a great outing! . . . . #elpaseo #elpaseoshoppingdistrict #desertlife #palmdesert #art #food #coffee #clothes #galleries #palmsprings #cathedralcity #deserthotsprings #ilovepalmdesert #orangecounty #losangelescounty #inlandempire #socaldesert #ilovethedesert #californiadreaming #californiadreamin #waynesalvatti #photografxworldwide #santarosasanjacintonationalmonument #jewelry #shopelpaseo #getoutthere #letsgoshopping #ig #igpalmdesert

Beautiful looking luxury shopping in the heart of Coachella Valley. LV, Tiffany's, and Gucci, just to name a few.

This is a very vague review. Google is asking about the El Paseo Shopping District. Feels very AI generated. I guess my issue is the fact that this area encompasses so many retail locations. Lots of shops and restaurants. Cool art as you go down the road lined with palm trees and color.

Really neat stores, but not cheap. Little over my budget lol.

How many burgers can a restaurant make? I dare you to ask these guys that question. The menu is pages and pages long and every burger sounds delicious. Way too many to choose from so just pick one and you’ll be happy. One of the best things on the menu is the triple fry basket. A meal in itself and all three are way above average. Onion rings, potato fries, and sweet potato fries in one basket with an “I dare you” attitude. I will be back for sure!

We love ❤️ food network show! There are so many unique variety of hamburger! Definitely great spot for Hollywood names and movies. Fried avocado was good. Love lord of the rings. Fun to see menus!

This is simply the best hamburger you are going to find. Period. End of discussion. It is also the best milk shake and the best fries, and if you've been there you know it is great. Four stars for a hamburger joint is unusual. I have taken the position that it is not possible for a quick service place to be 5 stars and generally that's my rule. But Grill-A-Burger is going to be my exception. The meat is first class and tasty. The dressing generous. And they will dress it in many many versions. The milk shakes are spindled ice cream, generous and tasty. I would rave about them if that's all they sold, but the Fries are just as good. Crispy and salty and hot and generous. And you have a choice of regular or sweet potato. I usually settle for sweet potato, here I crave them. They are just as meaty and crisp as the regular fries. And the portion is generous. I have to tell you, this the kind of place you find yourself making excuses to go to. Close enough is anytime your in the Coachella Valley at lunch time. You'll find yourself there time and time again. Love the place, love the staff. And Guy Fieri likes it to. Did I mention that they have lots of ways to fix the burger? What ever adventure you have in mind, make ti Grill-A-Burger.

I must admit, I didn’t have high hopes for this place at first, initially thinking it was just another run-of-the-mill burger joint. However, I was pleasantly surprised—it’s so much more than that! The ambiance features a unique tiki vibe, complete with vibrant decor and a lively atmosphere that sets the stage for a fun dining experience. We were primarily there for the burgers, and I highly recommend arriving early, as I’ve heard the wait can get quite lengthy, especially during peak hours. We decided to plan our dinner for 5:30 PM, which turned out to be a perfect choice as we managed to avoid the crowds. We shared the "Bacon Me Crazy" burger and the "Tri Fry." The burger was absolutely mouthwatering, loaded with crispy bacon and delicious toppings that complemented the juicy patty perfectly. The "Tri Fry," a generous platter of fries, was definitely enough to satisfy five light eaters—each bite was crispy and flavorful! And let’s not forget the onion rings—they were absolutely to die for! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they were the perfect side to our meal. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot if you’re visiting the area. With its delightful atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service, it’s a hidden gem that you won’t want to miss!

I have gone to this place before because I saw it on triple D it did not disappoint at all. Last time I had the impossible burger this time I tried something different, which was the Hollywood Brown Derby hamburger this hamburger was very delicious and if you like blue cheese, perfect. if you like french fries and onion rings, my suggestion is to go with a 50-50, which is half fries half onion rings

Wonderful spot in the cut! Had the Bacon mini and wifey tried the mini mushroom. We also got the fish and chips with sweet potato fries!!! Excellent!!! Glad I got a mini because the burgers 🍔 were too big.

Wow…I was invited here with friends and the food was really good and a great value. I had the Mini Mac and we shared fries and onion rings (a serving of each was shared by 5 of us). Very fresh ingredients; I will return to this gem!

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food and drinks at the outdoor restaurant were delicious. The room was a nice layout. We enjoyed the movie night, pool choices and lazy river. Our mini-fridge took a day and a half to cool down, the AC was so loud we turned it off at night so that we could rest. We reserved a cabana one day, I would not suggest; not enough perks to justify the price and food/drink on the pool deck were cost prohibitive.

Amazing Resort and course. We really enjoyed the weather, the pace of place, the facilities and the staff. Just great and enjoyable few days in Palm Springs. Can't wait to go back.

If you’re lucky enough to work with Sharon Clark at Indian Wells Golf Resort — consider yourself in the best hands. We booked our venue over a year in advance while the property was planning to be under construction, which was admittedly nerve-racking. But Sharon is a total pro. She’s experienced, calm, and truly knows her stuff. She was responsive to every question, always followed through on what she promised, and somehow kept everything on schedule — construction included (a miracle in itself!). When the day finally arrived, the space looked stunning. Every detail felt cared for, and the entire IWGR team was so kind and professional — both leading up to the wedding and afterward. The food was fantastic (even better than at our tasting), and guests kept mentioning it all night. Our vendors were treated so well and even got to choose their own meals. We couldn’t be more grateful for Sharon and the entire IWGR staff. Their warmth, professionalism, and heart made our wedding day unforgettable.

Loved this place. Two courses, played both. Greens were in great shape. The Celebrity Course is greatly different from the Players course. Celebrity is more green and scenic in my opinion.

Amazing facility to say the least. It is the only 36-hole facility in California with both courses ranked in the Top 20 “Best Courses You Can Play” in California. Conditions are always spectacular. It’s simply the best golf course you’ll be able to play without having to buy a membership at a fancy private club.

Attending the franchise business services conference at Indian Wells Golf Course was an absolute blast! The venue itself was stunning, set amidst lush greenery and expansive views that provided a serene backdrop for networking and learning. The conference facilities were top-notch, equipped with modern amenities that made presentations and discussions engaging and productive. The sessions were enlightening, featuring industry experts who shared valuable insights and strategies. Networking opportunities were plentiful, allowing me to connect with professionals from diverse sectors of the franchise business world. The organizers did a fantastic job of ensuring everything ran smoothly, from registration to the evening receptions. Moreover, the food and beverages served were delicious, catering to a variety of tastes and preferences. The ambiance was lively yet conducive to meaningful conversations, making it easy to forge new connections and exchange ideas. Overall, my experience at the franchise business services conference at Indian Wells Golf Course was exceptional. It was both informative and enjoyable, leaving me inspired and equipped with valuable knowledge to apply in my professional endeavors. I eagerly anticipate attending future events at this outstanding venue!

Friday we dined at Kestrels for my son’s birthday. He left saying it was the best birthday yet! Mo, our server was very attentive and made sure to give us the best experience! Eric the chef even came out to introduce himself and wish him a happy birthday! The entire staff was friendly and inviting! The service industry isn’t as friendly as it use to be but this staff was amazing and made it feel like it should be! We will be back!

One of a kind and a great experience to enjoy wild life up close in their natural habitat.

Awesome and Fabtastic hospitality and service

My wife and I enjoy the Civic part for all the things that it offers. Even watching a concert at night. You can walk around the park as you’re going to play a game of Pickleball or tennis. Palm Desert has done a fantastic job with our park. The crown Jewel, the Civic Park.

One of our favorite places in Palm Desert! Beautiful park with lagoons, turtles, ducks, play area, sport courts/fields and we were able to view the artists in action during the Plein air festival! A great place to have a picnic and unwind!

Great place to relieve stress take a walk. The scenery is beautiful if you’re into feeding birds and ducks and turtles bring a loaf of bread. They’ll love you and surround you. They have some cool workout equipment that pull bars you can work out on your abs chest they have a playground for the kids. They also have a little skate park dog parkbaseball pickle ball volleyball. They got a swimming area where you can swim. They got the YMCA they have a rec center and you could take showers.

Beautiful and clean. Great park for walking.

Cool place! Beautiful and looks well-groomed. We decided to do a picnic, find a great place in the grass, and suddenly the sprinklers turned on, we were wet completely! It’s was fun :) but would be great to put at least the sign with the timing or something to avoid this type of incident.

Walking sidewalks for all ages in this beautiful park with plenty of green grass, plants ,trees and shade. Dog friendly on leash just adjacent to off leash dog park. The highligh is the Holocaust Memorial. A must see for everyone.

Always have appreciated this Park. On this particular day, went to the first Water Lantern Festival held there. Walked by the rose garden and gazebo...pretty as always. Then sat at the edge of water and waiting for the sun to set. At sunset, we set our lanterns into the water...containing our wishes and desires for the future.

This was such a fun time! We git the Groupon package and made a date night out of it! Our host was knowledgeable and funny. He kept us entertained. The alcohol made there was what we drank amd it was delicious. Strong but yummo! We received 2 shot glasses at the end of our tour. Since we collect them, this was a great gift for us! We would do this tour again! Its really fun if you go in a big group!!

Did the tour and tasting last week. Everything tasted great. Walked out with a bottle of everything they had in stock and will be back for the vodka and whiskey when they're ready!

Small place, you drink your 4 samples and you're gone, no place to visit, 15 minutes of samples and that is it. Vodka was good, whiskey seemed a little flavorless, gin was different.

Had a great time learning about the history of this distillery and the different alcohols that they make. Makes for a good outing if you're wondering what to do while you are in the Palm Springs area.

I recommend everyone to try this out at least once in your lifetime, if not for the great alcohol then for the experience and knowledgeable staff if thats even the correct name for them, they're very personable.

Great selection of spirits, friendly staff, and an awesome up and coming distillery! If you have the chance, say hello to Ca Phe!

Had no idea that touring a distillery could be so cool. Loved the samples, quality product and friendly owners.

We stopped by this gallery after hrs and only visited the garden area. The garden area needed some TLC. We liked the meandering paths and sculptures, but the palm trees and succulents needed some attention. The water displays needed to be cleaned and tended to. Could be an esthetic and relaxing place to visit, but the garden areas looked run down.

Faye Sarkowsky Sculpture Garden is a peaceful oasis in Palm Desert with water features that attract birds, adding their birdsong to the ambience. ⛲🐦 We did a walk-through while in the area for other reasons but I'd like to come back some time, linger in the shade and check out the various native desert plants. 🌵🌴 The gardens and fountains are well-maintained, as the maintenance crew arrived while we were there exploring.

If you need to get yourself in alignment with nature, I suggest a walk in the sculpting Garden in Palm Desert. Located across from Palm Desert Mall, the garden is full of sculptures and plants that easily take away any stress that's got you!

A beautifully designed garden. Sculptures are carefully placed and surrounded by plants, hardscapes, and fountains. Several trees are carefully pruned to form living, growing sculptures that change seasonally. I love this precious gem in Palm Desert.

25 minutes from downtown Palm Springs wasn't worth the drive, but if you're in the area where it is, I'd definitely stop in,

Cute sculpture garden. If your in the area visit it but don’t go out of your way to come here. There was also a farmers market on the Sunday we visited.

What a great place to explore ... a perfect place to stop and enjoy in Palm Desert

Got rudely turned away and told to come back. We won’t.

Cute little market. I just wish there were more vendors, more variety and more food/snack vendors. When I went it was towards the end of summer, hot but not scorching hot. Wish there was more shade but overall not bad.

We enjoyed the street fair, more booths than I expected, and food carts, I would have liked more fresh produce, but it is January. There was lots of seating available, so we gobbled some Carmel corn and listened to the wonderful “Vintage People” band!

Love this place, highlight of our trip to Palm Springs. Note to self: Go find Max and buy more vege/fruit cheese stainless steel Peelers... the best!

Definitely check it out! I enjoyed this market more thst the Thursday night one downtown Palm Springs. This one is pretty big so give yourself a few hrs. There are decent washrooms on site ad well. Rockin Horse (IG @rockin.horse) enjoyed it!

There wasn't anything unique about the street fair that differs from any other type of similar venue in any other city. A large number of the sellers were offering products made in China, India or other countries where cheap labor is in abundance. There were a few vendors who make/produce their own products and for them, they deserve a 5. We enjoyed walking around and the energy from many visitors. Btw, if you need golf balls at a great price, definitely the place to go. When you enter the college grounds, keep right at the traffic circle and your first right for parking which was free.

This is always a fun and interesting pastime while visiting the desert cities - Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells … every Saturday & Sunday mornings until 2:00 PM at the College of the Desert —> juncture of Fred Waring and Monterey Dr in Palm Desert.

Lots and lots of stuff from clothing to jewelry, art work, kitchen gadgets, golf clubs, food and everything in between. Also a lot of the products are good quality. A bit pricey, but most vendors negotiate. Worth the visit.

The parking lot is not visible from California State Route 74. It’s been said it’s better to park just before the main entrance to avoid car break-ins. Out and back is 16 miles bring plenty of water

Simple hike just above town. Beautiful views. A large portion is closed seasonally for big horn sheep protection so I had to stay on one particular trail that goes across the edge of town.

Great trail, big climb starting at Hwy 74, slightly technical single track, shade in early morning otherwise very exposed. Take plenty of water and a camera. Trail is rocky and a little slick and sandy. Go early for the best experience. Palm oases are amazing.

This is a great trail. Very well marked and easy to follow. We did 4 miles out and back. Would have loved to follow it all the way and see the oasis, but time wasn’t on our side. Great scenery of Palm Springs and we had a gorgeous day.

A very scenic trail that starts at the beginning of highway 74. It is very scenic the more you trek it. Not the easiest of the trails in the desert, however, one of the most beautiful ones, one that those that love hiking should take on! Make sure to take plenty of water with you as this is a long trail (~8 miles)

My favorite hike. Counted 16 big horns at one point hanging out snacking with us. Dead Indian canyon is just so fun once you get to the bouldering at the oasis. The wash was beautiful, but don't wear sandles as the sand and rocks will get stuck in your shoes. The big horns weren't scared of us either, we were about 5 feet from them. Be aware the trail closes Jan 1 to protect the big horns. Also, no dogs because they scare the big horns.

Just off the street headed towards Vista Point. It's a great place for a walk by yourself or with a friend. It stretches out pretty far. It's about an hour loop around the trail It can be hot at day so make sure to bring plenty of water. The walk up the trail should be fairly easy for most

Incredible collection! A museum with price tags, aka the finest (famous) art one can see but it’s all for sale (to very lucky clients!) such nice staff and space. This place is a total gem in the Desert

Never been here, what's the procedure? Is it like a walk in gallery where you pay to go in? Or do you have to reserve a tour or something?

Wonderful gallery. Went to see the painting of Sir Winston Churchill.

A fantastic gallery with art spanning all genres and time periods. I've always loved the antiquities, and the masters paintings. This past season, the Picasso Calder exhibition was particularly spectacular, with so many pieces never before exhibited. So many great stories behind the works of art. The staff is knowledgable and friendly, and always happy to give the background on the piece and spend time showing me around the galleries. A must-see if you are in the Palm Springs area, or in Jackson, WY, as their gallery in downtown is also amazing.

Car guys enjoying the current Ferrari exhibits. Turns out that one of us was a History of Art Major, and I took several H-of-A courses at college. Nice cars, but also great Norman Rockwells, Picasso ceramics, a 1901 John Godward -- new painter to me, and much more. This gallery is a top-shelf class act. Great people, too!

In 2015 and again this year I visited the heather James gallery at the Armory Art Show in Manhattan. In both years I visited all the exhibitors and noted the impressive range of eras, artists, and media to be found in the Heather James collection compared to other galleries' exhibits. The Heather James staff was able to discuss, explain, or simply to share in enjoyment of the richness of the Heather James collection. Joan Beutler Redding, Connecticut

Awesome little gallery! The art work is fantastic. Must check out whether you're in the market or just passing by and want to see some cool pieces!

My kids and I like this place because it has a big playground and alot of space for kids to play and run around in. The different times that we have came here it has never been so busy or full of kids, which is a good thing when you don't like to be in crowded places. It has a public restroom and neighborhood seems very nice and calm around here.

Nice small little park. 2 restrooms and pet friendly. Clean and nice playground equipment

Great little park. Good shade and playground equipment.

Enjoy taking my kids here but they need to place lights especially since it gets dark early, we can't be there because it's extremely dark and becomes very scary really quick .

Very good park. Great for families. Nice grass around.

Every time I drop my kid off at school, this park pops up! Nice little park, but not always accessible because of the attached schools.

This park is best not to during 7-9am (student drop off) and 2-3pm (student pickup) due to the school connected to the park.

The California desert is my go-to for birthday vacations every April. I loved this public art exhibition. So many wonderful pieces to look at. I spent a good amount of time here focusing on each piece. I highly recommend.

Interesting *free* stop! Easy to get to.

The sculptures were absolutely exceptional! I was with my family visiting Palm Desert! We found this beauty as we walked to one of the restaurants close by. The bronze, 2D and 3D sculptures were very amusing. Sadly, we didn’t get to see the gallery as it was late in the evening when we came across this place. I will definitely go back to check it out next time we are there!

A must visit for public art afficianados! So many beautiful pieces to enjoy in a beautiful outdoor setting. Make sure to visit after sunset, too. Some of the works are illuminated

Nothing like driving down El Paseo in Palm Desert looking at the art on the boulevard and you discover this art park. I've seen it before, but each time it beckons me to park the car and walk through this outdoor gallery. It is a place where you want to take your time and look at the art from different angles.

Really cool place to stop for a quick visit and check out the great artwork from Melissa. My favorite sculpture by far is the geometric shaped mirrors. Check out the pics. Amazing visuals!

Wonderfully Eclectic...thats the phrase that comes to mind when I describe the pieces I viewed on display at The Fine Art Sculpture Garden by Melissa Morgan Fine Art Gallery in the scenic and popular "Shops at El Paseo" shopping district in SoCals Palm Desert. Just off of El Paseo Ave in the beautiful desert foothill community of Palm Desert,California the sculpture garden is a nice point of interest while visiting the area. I really enjoyed the entire area and it was an especially nice treat to see the variety of fine art sculpture pieces at The Melissa Morgan Fine Art Sculpture Garden! . . . . . #melissamorganart #elpaseo #waynesalvatti #photografxworldwide #melissamorganfineartgallery #melissamorgansculpturegarden #palmdesert #socaldesertlife #fineart #iloveart #desertart #melissamorgan #californiadreaming #californiadreamin #ilovethedesert #californiasands #art #fineart #visitpalmdesert #ilovefineart

Freedom Park has two dog parks, one for small dogs and one for larger dogs. A paved trail to walk around for exercise. The park has great lightning after it gets dark. There also are pickleball, basketball and baseball quarts. The park also has clean restrooms and great picnic areas.

Great place to get cardio in with the pups. Very clean, Great Dog Parks. Restrooms semi okay.

Large Great Park with walking trails pickleball courts volleyball courts basketball courts in grilling stations and a dog park.

Fantastic newly developed park in palm desert. Picturesque mountain backdrop from brand new basketball courts and state of the art playgrounds. Most importantly, 8 top of the line public pickle ball courts to challenge the locals. Just be sure to get there early or wait until the afternoon. Was getting close to full by 9:30 AM on a Tuesday! Also has public restrooms with drinking fountains and dog park. Lots of parking. Softball/baseball fields are under construction. No grass for those yet...

This Palm Desert park has much to offer. There is an enclosed Dog Park; a walking trail; Basketball courts; Softball fields; Soccer fields; Pickleball courts; Sand Volleyball; Children playground; and a large parking lot. So why a 2 rating? The park has been taken over by people who are being privately paid to teach, mostly young children, how to play a sport. But more importantly, so many people let their Dog off their leash outside the Dog Park. There is no monitoring of the Dog leash law and soon, like Civic Center Park, a pup or person is going to get hurt.

My dog just loves this park. Great place for children as well. Park is very clean and well kept.

This park has it all, baseball fields, basketball courts, pickle ball courts, soccer fields, 3 playgrounds, BBQ pits. It has plenty of areas to set up for parties and eating. The park is clean and well maintained. Great for families and get togethers. The Verteran's memorial sculpture is beautiful.

I use this place to walk the dogs. Would be nice to have one more poop station on the other side of the park. Also, this area looks like water retention for the buildings around. They made a good use of it being soccer fields.

FUN field, easy access to parking, snack booth, and restrooms. Had a great time watching my niece play. Tons of parking on three sides of the facility, which allows easy and close parking for all

Palm Desert Hovley Soccer Park is more than just a soccer park. Yes, the park is bustling with soccer activity in its center. But, the park sports a disc golf course, horeshoes, and a basketball court. Petanque is played on the east side of the park next to playground that my grandkids love. You can belly up to the snack bar. Parking is ample, but filled during soccer ⚽️ games. The path around the park is roughly .6 of a mile in length. If you are trying to become a local legend, log your run on Strava. After your run, turn your head to the west and gaze up at the mountains, and thank God for this beautiful park. 😍 But, the important thing about the Palm Desert Hovley Soccer Park is: it is more than just a soccer park.

Nice park and easy parking, Grass is maintained perfectly for soccer games.

Beautiful park to watch events, picnic, soccer and more... Very Clean with plenty of room for everyone.

Great place for children to explore their athletic abilities. There's also a playground, in case you have to bring younger siblings. Well kept, but remember to carry out what you bring in. It's the right thing to do.

Hovley Park is one of the best soccer parks in the Desert. Home to the Palm Desert youth soccer program. Well located, with excellent facilities and public BBQ areas. Club games are also played here.

Nice city park with sand volleyball/basketball courts, a silent reflection area/rose garden, large and small dog area, and a few jungle gyms. The playground area is shaded and appropriate for multiple age groups, and there are restrooms available. It should be noted that there was a leaking hydrant in the dog walking area that wouldn't shut off no matter how tightly it was cranked down (a simple fix). The park was generally clean, aside from a few things on the periphery that were in disrepair or had been tossed over the fence. Overall a nice park with many things to offer kids of all ages. Trees abound so you've got a chance to cool off in the shade

Responsible, pet owners, well-maintained grass, and a very consistent flow of some of the cutest pedigrees and months that you will ever see collected in one place. My dog actually regards this Park as her favorite, despite being excited to attend any on informal gathering for four legged breathing.

Nice little dog park with great grass! Tucked right behind the memorial garden and basketball courts at Joe Mann Park. There were 5 or so other dogs there at 3 pm on a Thursday, plenty to keep Koda busy

I stopped through here to let my son stretch his legs. I really wanted to give this park a five star rating. It has some awsome amenities dispute the 115 degree heat. Covered playground, well kept grounds and a awsome locked memorial garden. The problem is when I went and checked out the bathrooms. I know what you are thinking city parks are going to be dirty. Well they were not bad. When I checked the changing table I realized that some druggie had left his scorch marks on the plastic.

It's a very good park to take a walk with dogs on the well-organized grass. It's near the golf course, so it's less dust, you can have a picnic table and a babeku, there are benches everywhere, and it's a children's playground, so it's a good place to take a family break.

I brought my family here during the night time and it was fun. My toddler was curious and a bit confused at the faceless sculptures. It was fun and relaxing especially during the night when there was no one around. We got to explore and be curious all on our own.

A little bit for everyone in the park, enjoyed going quite a bit until the playground was changed. The update for the younger children was a nice change. The other end of the playground feels more like a downgrade. It was convenient with how close this park is to home, and can typically get less crowded, but felt they should have upgraded more when they redesigned the park. Not horrible but could be better.

This is a steep hike, and the top of this hike provides a beautiful sunrise view of the valley. It takes about an hour round trip to the cross and back. The trails are clean. Some people take dogs, but I've seen mostly really well trained dogs that don't need to be on leash. There is some parking, but in cooler seasons it fills up quickly.

Nice hiking trails did two different hikes up to the Cross the first time, then all the way to the Bump and Grind trail to the top. That was close to 2 1/2 hours and we took the short cut thru the wash back. Overall elevation gain was close to 1,000 feet.

Nice short hike, gets a little thin and windy in places but there is a great view at the top. We did a short hike loop but there are options to go further. Dog friendly too, and bathrooms at the bottom, bonus!!

A hidden gem! I have lived in Palm Desert for over three years, and didn't know about this place until a neighbor mentioned it. We took the Herb Jeffries trail, cut across through Hopalong Cassidy to end up back where we started. Parking is limited, but I think one could park on a residential street, walk across the bridge to the trail head. Our 6- and 4-year olds didn't have a problem, and while our two-year old was willing to walk it, I was concerned about him falling. We did encounter a couple of runners as well as mountain bikers, so keep that in mind. Bring water. And warm clothing if hiking during cooler weather. It gets chilly once the sun gets behind the mountains. There's a restroom at the entrance to the park, and some of the trails are open to canine companions, but check the posted signs.

Great hike. We did the Cross Trail Loop. There was a fair amount of climbing at the beginning, so the return was faster and primarily downhill. The peak rewarded us with gusty breezes and an amazing view. Took us about two hours, at a leisurely pace. Dogs are welcome.

I googled a place to hike and chose this place. It did not disappoint. Hiked yesterday evening before dark and 7 am this morning. It is so clear, gorgeous, peaceful, serene, every step. Trails not terribly steep but at times rocky.

Great path for hiking or mountain biking with a view of the city

A really fun and scenic drive with changing terrain, some switchbacks, and beautiful viewpoints to stop at. It’s a scenic way to go between the Coachella Valley and Temecula wine country!

An easy drive from one ecosystem to another. Good views over the Coachella Valley at one point, and various places to stop and take in scenery or go for hikes. Idyllwild is a neat place to get lunch.

The scenery is stunning, the road is twisty and turny in the best way, but look out for impatient drivers who aren’t there for the views! Plenty of pullouts though so you can get out of their way

My second time driving this loop. It was just as impressive as the first and well worth doing again. Lots of hikes and great views.

Please do not take this route unless you are experienced with extreme grades, blind turns, how to use turnouts and have a vehicle/experience handling potential snow and icy road conditions. Saving a few minutes is not worth yours or others safety. Inexperienced people have died and killed others not knowing how to drive this beautiful highway.

Nice scenic drive. Bring your own beverages. There are no places to stop until the reservation.

One of the best experiences in the palm Springs area. But bring a jacket as it gets very cold on the top.

I visited this view point and scenery truly stunning. However, the experience was dampened by the lack of civil sense among some visitors, as there was trash scattered everywhere. It’s disappointing to see such a beautiful spot not being respected. Hope better maintenance and awareness can keep this place as pristine as it should be.

What a gorgeous view. A great vista point where you can see the Salton Sea. I always stop here on my travels back from Temecula. A must stop. A location where you can truly admire our desert cities and absorb the beauty of the desert.

Beautiful location to go and watch the sunset. And it's awesome during the day, just as well. The only downside is all the trash being left from people drinking up there.

Great views overlooking the Coachella Valley! We stopped on our road trip from Idyllwild. The drive is spectacular and the views dropping into the valley are special.

Great scenic views! To our surprise we had a great view of the SpaceX lauch!

I love this vista point but it’s become a garbage dump that reeks of urine. Can some of the surrounding cities or the county clean this up, please? Simple cleanup jobs would do, create employment and make the place nice once again. Update: Last time I went here, the trash had been removed and now the place looked nice and well cared for.

The View is 10/10 however the parking area and initial part over the wall is littered with alcohol containers broken glass and garbage . It's completely disgusting disrespectful and out of order. City/county should put up cctv .

It was a celebration of life for my mom.

Les Michaels puts on some great shows here. Lots of talented locals with a sprinkling of LA & Broadway folks. What a great theatre, we are fortunate to have it here in the desert.

The performace we saw was excellent i would recommend it highly i will be going to more shows in the futurel

Wonderful theater not bad seat in the house all seats have a great view of the stage and entertainment

Very cool. Liked it. Good smart staff.

Cabaret super

We called the day before to inquire about rates for the driving range, the golf course, and cart rentals. We arrived the next day, and after we paid, we were informed that golf carts were only for disabled people. They refused to refund us after we decided not to proceed with golfing.

Price is a little high for a training course, but this course should really improve your short game!! Much more difficult than I expected.

$15 for large bucket or $75 card for 6 large buckets. Hit off mats. Good green and sand practice area. Friendly service. Also have a par3 course

Beautiful place. Just enough holes to play with hubby before fights start LOL .

Grass and mat driving range, sand bunker, chipping and putting practice facilities. Also 9 hole par 3 course. Overall great facility and not too costly.

This is a cute little 9-hole. It is maintained well. The fairways are pretty narrow, so expect to end up if you dont hit it super straight. Par 3. Has a practice putting green too. Affordable.

Had a great time the staff are amazing & the prices were inexpensive great place to hit some balls or golf.

An Elegant gallery on El Paseo that hosts some beautiful events. I recently attended a 420 jazz event and it was amazing. Definitely a venue to look into if you're hosting an elegant private affair.

Total scam operation that rips off legitimate artists’ work by flat out copying whatever is trending on instagram. Poorly made forgeries with luxury price tags. Support the real artists not this fraudulent trash.

Amazing Art and Sam was Great very Informative and we can get all of our Art Hung in One Day with the Mobile Art Gallery

Unique selection of art. Whole family enjoyed viewing.

Beautiful gallery! Love everything about it!

Art is so unique and cool

Fabulous opening last night in her spacious gallery. Located on El Paseo in the heart of the boulevard. Artists were gracious sharing their art and how they created these large art pieces. Recommend you stop in to meet their fun, knowledgeable staff. As you can see great photo opportunities...

I am so happy every time I drive by and see her wonderful artwork with all of us, Megan you get a BIG A on your report card!!!!!

I’m an emerging artist and when I visited twice at the gallery with my questions. I was met with the same great energy from all the staff and artwork. As well as a complementary bottle of water after my visit. Melissa Morgan fine art is the first gallery you should visit in El Paseo.

Unique Art Gallery space on El Paseo in Palm Desert.

Very nice gallery filled with cool pieces of art. Of course none of which I can afford. This entire street is filled with nice art galleries. It's a nice balance to the backdrop of beautiful mountains and the desert.

Wonderful gallery. Spacious with fantastic art. Always a pleasure to go. Really great people there, including Melissa Morgan herself.

It is an art gallery. Very interesting and beautiful pieces.

We always receive amazing service here from all the employees at Desert Art Collection!! We visit from Saugatuck ,Michigan and always find wonderful finds!! This year we found a great outdoor sculpture & real stone outdoor planter!! Absolutely Fabulous!!! Dave & Jim

Lovely collection of art pieces

Glenda is very knowledgeable..

Great Gallery!

Love to look...

A fascinating collage of art work. Small accent pieces and large wall work. You could furnish an entire house here.

Beautiful Small

A well curated gallery with interesting artists.

last evening the christian hohmann gallery had a gathering with the members of the artist council of the museum of palm springs. his knowledge of chagall's art work in his gallery is outstanding. listening to him talk about the print making process of chagall was like hearing to a lecture of the subject.wish had a note book and taken notes. ..at times the art work speaks for it self. having some one as knowledgeable of the material is a true pleasure. looking forward to hearing christian speaks again in the near future, best, juan-manuel alonso

Fabulous gallery with extraordinary and unique contemporary art!

This is a top Art Gallery on El Paseo
