JULYAUGUST FREE SUMMER THURSDAYS at the Palm Springs Art Museum July 6, 2017 Palm Springs Art Museum has lined up a summer of fun with a variety of family-friendly programs and free admission every Thursday from Noon to 8 p.m.
Villagefest Street Festival July 6, 2017 Every Thursday evening, Downtown Palm Springs transforms into a diverse array of artists, artisans, entertainers, and purveyors of fresh fruits and veggies, flowers, jewelry, snacks and sweets. Balloon Above The Desert The Coachella Valley is a beautiful, peaceful sight from the air, and the picturesque landscape as seen from above is filled with vineyards, polo fields, golf courses, and orchards. Older kids can enjoy the views on a family-friendly ride. Perks of each trip include an in-flight champagne toast for parents and complimentary shuttle service from major desert resorts. The Living Desert Have your kids ever wondered what a roadrunner and coyote really look like? At The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, you can meet the real life inspiration for these desert-dwelling "Looney Tunes" characters. This Palm Desert zoo focuses on educating visitors about animals from deserts in North America and Africa, including giraffes, warthogs, jaguars and bighorn sheep, to name a few. Children's Museum of The Desert Whether you need a place to set your inner child loose or let your actual children play, the Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert has more than 50 hands-on activities to peak your curiosity and keep the entire family entertained for hours.

Wet 'n' Wild Palm Springs People looking for a quick dip or dramatic splash have plenty of options at Wet 'n' Wild Palm Springs. Not only does the water park feature two chutes that send riders on a high-speed trip from the peak of a sevenstory tower, it also harbors a massive, 800,000-gallon wave pool and a relaxing 600-foot lazy river. This is because Wet 'n' Wild Palm Springs strives to cool off people of all types-whether they're looking for an adrenaline boost or hoping to work on their driftwood impression.
Palm Springs Aerial Tramway There's no better way to view the Coachella Valley than from above. Don't settle for the view from your airplane window, though. For the best views of the desert, round up the kids and take a cable car into the mountains at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. A 12.5 minute ride in the world's largest rotating aerial tramway will offer 360-degree views of the greater Palm Springs area.
