Museum
Art museum
Cultural center
Education center
Cabot's Pueblo Museum is a historic house museum located in Desert Hot Springs, featuring a 35-room Hopi-style pueblo that showcases an extensive collection of Native American art and artifacts. The museum was hand-built by Cabot Yerxa, an adventurer and artist, in the 1940s. It also houses Yerxa's own artwork, handiwork, and souvenirs from his travels. The site offers a unique cultural experience with its maze-like structure and rich history.
It's really amazing what Cabot was able to do here, starting at nearly 60 years old and by himself! Highly recommend the Audio Self- Guided Tour. Inside, you'll find lots of photographs, artwork, vintage tools, kitchenware, Native American artifacts, and more! Be free to walk around, especially behind the Pueblo, where you'll get a spectacular view of the mountains and valley. Restroom facilities are on site with a water fountain. They also have a nice gift shop. Have fun!

This museum is really neat to go through. Worth it to get the self-guided tour. It's very educational and cool to have a part of the audio per room. The upstairs apartment was beautiful. Walking the grounds was very cool and not boring at all. Plenty to see. Staff was very kind and responsive. Parking was plenty and easy. We highly suggest being able to see and experience some great history of the area.

If you like amazing desert oddities then you have come to the right place. Imagine what life was like living in this Pueblo style desert home actually made from found objects in the desert. This is one man’s dream to build his dream castle all alone by himself over many years. Take the self guided tour and be immersed in the story behind Cabot’s Pueblo oddity.
Alan S — Google review
Very interesting structure. Enjoyed the self-guided tour. My favorite room was the apartment that he made for his wife Portia. Happy wife, happy life 😂
Becky C — Google review
Lovely place to experience in Desert Hot springs. The audio tour did not completely work to its full capacity, only inside the house but the tour inside the house is worth it. House was beautiful, the property has nice greenery and the history of the place make this site pretty interesting. It was amazing to see how someone would live and make life in this little place in the desert.
J G — Google review
Great small museum, very unique, beautiful surroundings. All the staff are very welcoming, have your phone ready to use the audio tour. Great art to purchase at the gift shop. Restrooms and parking on the site.
JitkaKac — Google review
Nice spot with rich history. The ticket attendant/slash limited guide was so friendly and helpful. Tickets are relatively affordable, but the price adds up when your party is large. I think it'd $10 per adult. The tour is a self-guided audio tour that you do with your phone. If you have a large party, maybe a Bluetooth speaker will help so that everyone can hear. If you actually have the patience to listen, it's quite amazing how the home was designed, and the attention to detail that went into it. We had some kids with us do they could care less about the history. They were more interested in pointed and asking. That said, a lot of the things here are original pieces (including some falling-apart clothing), so be mindful and watch touchy kids to make sure they don't sit, touch, or go where they shouldn't.
Rafael E — Google review
Really nice piece of history! Amazed it didn’t get pillaged while it was unoccupied and a nice tribute to the builder Cabot and his wife Portia. Nice audio tour and very open to all areas of the Pueblo. Fascinating building. Very cool point of interest. Cheap admission and fun visit.

Lots of vendor and it pretty lively. The track is kinda tricky but it good enough. Grass is amazing and so is the play structure. There are three one for toddlers and the other too for older kids! There is a swing set with one for a baby, one that looks like chair and the rest regular swings. Bathroom are average. Enough seating areas around the track and play area. Lights go out around 9 I believe?

Its nice they have some lights until 9pm, and bathrooms. However, the bathroom was not open at the time it said the park opened. Making this place kind of a lie to me. I liked this place alot until that happened. Where are the good places in this world?

I love coming here every year for the fireworks and the food truck .you can't go wrong here .the fire works are amazing so many yummy food trucks .the only thing about the food truck was the bbq food truck the sandwich was dry very small sandwich not worth to pay for but the rest were yummy .I would recommend this place for the fireworks and food they also had music

The best thing about this park is how clean and kept it is. The bad is no restroom access Most people go with their kids and have to leave so they can use the restroom I know its because of covid but most people are smart enough to clean before and after use, give us some credit and besides its obvious that having closed restrooms, restaurants, businesses, wearing masks , self distancing is working according to our government So let us go back to being responsible people and open the restrooms
Carma S — Google review
It’s desert hot springs local soccer park. Like most things out here there are ups and downs. They have fun playgrounds for kids. There are 2 separate play grounds with a big grass area. They have bathrooms however those are a bit dirty. The grass field is overall in good condition there are some spots rougher then others but overall good.

It's a decent park. Gets 3 stars for the jail style bathrooms. No doors. One big urinal . So no privacy at all and it's all stainless steel gotcha watch out for heroin addicts as well in the bathroom shooting up.
James H — Google review
With a newly renovated playground for kids it's a great space. I enjoy jogging around the track but it has uneven areas and metal portruding out in seveal spots with erosion in some areas. I wish they would invest in fixing the track to make a complete loop and install some outdoor exercise stations.

Park
Guy J Tedesco Park is a hidden gem for families traveling with kids. The park offers various amenities, including swings, slides, rock climbing towers, and picnic tables with shaded areas. It's a great place for toddlers to play and make friends while parents can also connect and share parenting advice. The park features a large skate ramp area that adds to the fun atmosphere.
Finding this gem was a refreshing surprise during our travels! The park is larger than it first appears. The park had swings, a few slides, and unique rock climbing towers! There are lots of picnic tables with shade next to the playground. There were a few large grassy areas for dogs to enjoy. The sidewalk went all the way around the park! The large skate ramp park area looked very fun!
Amanda K — Google review
My toddler loves this park more than any other. He’s made friends, perfected walking by himself, learned how to climb stairs, ran with puppies in the grass, watched the skateboarder in awe, and screams in excitement at the different big swing and roller slide. I’ve made friends and gotten great parenting advice. I’ve never seen homeless, drug addicts, or excessive amounts of trash & haven’t used bathrooms, (locked bc of COVID) but found a bullet casing by the slide recently (minus a star).

Quiet, intimate, and well kept. I'm considering going just to meditate once in a while.
Daniel M — Google review
I've heard it called several things, veterans Day park, roundabout park, and something else I can't remember. Not a lot to talk about, it's configured in a circle of picnic tables (6 or 7), very clean as it rarely gets used. No swings, sandbox, bathrooms, or other amenities. They do have 2 water spigots and they both work. Located on the corner of Palm Dr and Mission Lakes Blvd. Don't do anything illegal cuz you're right out in the open. Avoid going to the underpass as someone is living there, I like going there because they have a descent patch of really thick and lush green grass with clover mixed in, a natural deterrent for ants.. I'll try to remember to snap a couple photos next time I'm over there.

Wardman Park is a great spot for those looking to unwind and enjoy a stress-free day out. With plenty of picnic tables available, it's the perfect place to relax and take in the surroundings. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or simply want to enjoy some time outdoors, Wardman Park has everything you need for a tranquil experience.
This is a sweet little park. It's clean and in a neighborhood that needs things to do for children and adults too. If you think it's bad bc it's in the "hood" or that the people there are "scum" LEAVE. Why are you here? You're not doing anything to make this city better. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. Bye!

It’s ok, recently looks like it’s not kept up with very few kids on playground. My toddler do 2 slides & baby swings with me & he loves it. Ballpark frequented with visitors & great place to fly a kite. Beautiful shaded large grassy area with a nice, clean (unvisited) dog park.
S D — Google review
Despite living in the "hood" called Desert Hot Springs, this park is a nice, clean, small park. Families who take their little family members here, are just as devoted to making their kids happy. I've had positive experiences at this park. Just simply mind your business and everyone else does too. Until the children begin playing and that's a big smile.

Fast food restaurant
Del Taco is a popular fast-food chain known for its Mexican fare like tacos, burritos, and quesadillas, as well as breakfast options. It's often considered a reliable choice for quick protein fixes. While some customers find it predictable, others have had exceptional experiences at certain locations. Cleanliness and customer service can vary by store, but some patrons have encountered friendly staff members like Melanie while others have noted issues with restroom access and perceived rudeness from employees.
Karina took my order and she was the best person. She have pretty good skills on customer service. I never been in del taco with social services and not from this city but was the best

This was our first time at Del Taco. I can't say I'm impressed. The food was okay I guess. Staff forgot drinks and sauces. The restaurant was more drive thru oriented. We had to park at the back, wade our way to the front where the drive thru was and find our way inside. Soda machine was not in use, so no easy way for a refill

This location is the G.O.A.T. for the DHS people who partake 🍃 It’s fast food so it is what it is. Service is always 100% and the sauce hook up is chefs kiss! Whoever made & bagged my order for grub hub 8/18 I hope your pillow is cool on both sides always, your gas tank is full when running late in the A.M. & next time you go to stater bros there isn’t a line at checkout.

I do online orders here for pickup sometimes and my order is ALWAYS wrong. Items are ALWAYS missing. Its so frustrating getting home and having to go back. Or even going back in to get the order. The employee gave me a hard time today when they got my order wrong and forgot a burrito. Sometimes the drive to Indian canyon is more worth it. They dont get the orders wrong ever. Update from 06-29-25 they didnt give me one of the quesadillas I ordered. I got home and had to go back and Ashley argued with me saying she put it in the bag. If you put it in the bag I would not have left home to go all the way back. It looks like the Indian canyon store is the way to go from now on.
Mylah W — Google review
The shift leader named Emily seemed very annoyed every time I got up and asked her for something but it is not my fault that items are not displayed out for customers and therefore I have to ask her for Stuff and it's not my fault she didn't hand me a fork with my order so she kept looking at me like she was very annoyed and every time I would say thank you she would just give me a look. Poor customer service.

Absolutely horrible customer service. The night team forgot to bag items from our order and our dasher kept a drink which is no fault to the workers. The lady taking calls was rude and when I arrived I was still charged for some missing items. The worker stated they put items in the bag but when we recieved the bags items were not in the bag.

Whether you're stopping by for dinner or breakfast, this charming spot has something to satisfy every palate. Diners rave about the sampler platter and classic potato skins, both praised for their crispy perfection.
Our family has a getaway home down the road and I never knew this place was here until yesterday. My daughters and I wanted something local and old-school. We definitely found it. Super charming little diner, the staff was so nice and it was really clean and the food was great. No complaints!

Good prices, great portions, and delicious food. Purchased day passes for the pools and had lunch at the Sunshine Cafe. We ate at the bar and Marlene took good care of us. Ordered a turkey club with potato salad and a basket of fries, there was plenty for two and everything tasted great. Definitely returning.

We have been here for dinner. We had sampler platter and potato skins. It was D-licious!. I enjoyed the potato skins(classic combo). The sampler platter was crispy as should be. We also decided to try breakfast, and it did NOT disappoint. No pics, I inhaled my pecan waffle with whipped cream, pecan pieces in the batter, and a bit on top, syrup on the side. Biscuits with country gravy, over easy eggs with bacon. Guess if i got no pictures and post a review. You bet it was goooo'ood!. It was gone before I knew it. This place you have to try out!

Absolutely amazing!! Shoutout to Eddie(y) for his fantastic table service. You can normally predict how good the overall service would be (yes even how good the food will be) based on the initial energy brought by the waiter. He was charismatic and courteous. Every waiter usually asks if you would like to start off which drinks, to which we ordered orange juice. Without questioning or asking, he speedily brought us our drinks as well as - WATER!!!! Its the little things like this kind of special attention that a customer like myself, truly enjoys and makes the experience that much more enjoyable. The food was AMAZING!!!! It was calm and had a vintage ambiance. I think I probably lived a different life in the '30s - '50s because places like this just bring out the life and happiness in me.

Taco Bell is a popular fast-food chain known for its Mexican-inspired menu featuring items like tacos, quesadillas, and nachos. Despite being relatively new in some areas, it has quickly gained popularity as one of the limited fast food options available. Customers appreciate the familiar taste of Taco Bell's offerings and generally find the staff to be friendly and accommodating. While there may be occasional hiccups with orders, such as missing sauce, overall it remains a convenient choice for a quick bite.
LOVE this place! I'm not a big fan of Mexican food OR fast food for that matter, but recently had the opportunity to try the steak Chalupa Supreme (and what happened to those street Chalupas? They must have seasonal but they were delish too!) The Chaluoas and those heavenly donut bites.. you cannot go wrong stopping here for breakie. I even downloaded the app and got free food options about my 3rd visit. PLUS, the workers at the window in the morning are always so pleasant here in our Desert Hot Springs restaurant. Nice jib, Team. Quiero Taco Bell! 🌮

Yes, It's cheap but the food is pretty ordinary. The staff were friendly enough and the food arrived quickly but you definitely get what you pay for. The premises could have been cleaner too. There was a grifter with baby stroller trying to clean the desk in exchange for some food. Nice outside seating area. The view was on the drive thru and an uncultivated land.

I went back to the window to tell them they make a mistake on my order so they pretended to remake it and put in the same chicken tacos that were in my box previously before & I told them again which is the second time they made a mistake on my order in the same night & the cook named angel was cursing loud from from the window about our order even though they are the ones that got it wrong . The third time they made it right but I had to make sure my food wasn’t spit on because they were trying to make it look like it was my fault . I’ll never eat here again lol .

My family got the avo toast and the breakfast burrito- also delish. Alyssa the cafe manager was wonderful and so friendly. It’s such a cute environment — cozy and welcoming. It’s inside the Azure Palm hotel and you can park right out front. Thank you for a lovely experience!!

The food is better than I expected. This place has great healthy options. They have vegetarian choices. One of the spa workers recommended that we order our food online while we were outside enjoying the spa area because the food could take awhile during busy hours. We did that and that was very efficient. Order was easy to place. The ambiance in the cafe is pleasant with many seats available. We decided to eat at the balcony across from the Cafe that had a good overlooking view. The portions were small though. Otherwise I'd give 5 stars. The Chicken Sandwich looked the most filling out of our order. Chicken Sandwich: 4/5 Mushroom Pizza: 4/5 (very small pizza) Orange Immunity: 5/5 (small size)

Azure Palm Café is a high end cafe and restaurant located within the APHS Resort and Spa in Desert Hot Springs, CA. This cafe has wide selection of coffee and tea. Similarly, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. I came and ordered a Super Green juice and Wild Caught Salmon x green string beans and rice. Food was good and flavorful. Bottled juice (12oz) was okay. Food portion was really small as well as the juice. Prices were expensive. Service was a bit on point. Atmosphere was relaxing. Overall, it’s a decent cafe that provide top notch high end food.
