We had a great time with 3 adults and 3 14-17 year olds. Harry Potter park is great, especially if it's fans. Please prepare a little more cash, things here are not cheap, especially food. Tips: If you have back/neck or heart problems, this may not be the right place. We have a park pass that allows you to travel between Universal Studios and Adventure Island on the Hogwarts Express. This is my personal favorite.

This place is a fantastic facility for all ages and all level of swimmers. I visit it every day when I am in palm desert, doing lap swimming and then relax on one of the sunloungers . It is open seven days a week , well staffed with life guards and only costs a few dollars .

We had a great time at the San Diego Zoo. Everything was nice and clean and you could tell that the animals were well taken care of. the only thing I would improve upon is the same thing I think every zoo, park, etc could improve upon is their food choices on having more healthy options.

Nothing could be better than a few hours in a museum to get out of the desert heat. It’s a place to broaden your horizons and embrace new experiences and ideas. A wonderful time and experience. Next time you’re going to see another museum in the Oalm desert.

The Palm Springs Aviation Museum, very unexpectedly open to visit, 109 degrees Celsius weather, visitors actually endless...2/3 The exhibition area is outdoors, with the distant mountains as the background, the runway next to the normal use, really a great location. The World War II-era aircraft on display can currently fly on loan. The broken mechanical structures and 29 old aircraft on display allow you to enjoy the unique art of aviation! Very worth a visit to the museum, despite the very hot weather, the children still have to walk twice repeatedly before leaving! [screaming teeth]

The preserve is a pleasant stop on the road to Joshua NWR.Good birding if one knows where to wander.Preserve host has several feeders in a shaded area with chairs !!One can relax and get id’s of birds they see.The Wednesday 8 AM birding tour is excellent , led by experienced birders. This is a MUST DO for serious birders.

If you like fishing for rainbow trout or large-mouth bass, this is your spot. The lake has shrunk considerably in the last decades, but it is still picturesque and fun to fish. The friendly ranger at the south entrance gave us a pamplet showing hiking trails and camping sites, most with hook-ups. The Pacific Crest Trail borders the east end of the park and hikers often pitch their tents in the park, A few one-room cabins are also for rent (showers and restrooms are a short walk away). If you rent a cabin, unfortunately you can’t bring your dog. Because the lake has receded, the shore line is a short hike from the camp area. It was hot when we visited in July, but you may need a jacket in the winter because the camp is over 3,000 feet. Bring your binoculars for bird watching!
