Activities

Some things to do while you are here 

The Coachella Valley is special to us. If you have some extra time, or are extending your trip into a vacation, we hope you take advantage of everything the area has to offer. We've listed some activities, and personal favorites, to get you started!

  • Golf
    • Indian Wells Golf Resort - You can book via the Hyatt at this link: Indian Wells Golf
    • PGA West - The "Western Home of Golf in America" is in nearby La Quinta with 6 different championship courses. 
  • Tennis
  • Spa
  • Pools
  • Hiking
  • The Living Desert - Recommended by Dore - During the winter, The Living Desert transforms the zoo into an electric light wonderland! Explore the light show and some desert wildlife at one of our favorite spots!
  • Palm Springs Aerial Tramway - Recommended by Chris - A rotating aerial tram takes you 8,500 feet above the desert floor, transporting you to Mt. San Jacinto State Park. At the top, you'll experience spectacular views, two restaurants, observation decks, a natural history museum, two documentary theaters, a gift shop and over 50 miles of hiking trails. Bring a jacket, as it can be 30 degrees cooler at the top!
  • Shields' Date Shakes - Recommended by Chris - 90% of the USA's dates are grown in the Coachella Valley. Stop by Shields for anything date related, and be sure to try a date shake - where crystallized dates are blended with ice cream for a unique twist on a traditional milk shake. 
  • Joshua Tree National Park
  • Palm Springs Air Museum
  • Cabazon Outlets - One of the largest outlet malls in the country, with nearly 200 premium, brand-name outlet stores. ~45 minutes away.

We also recommend checking out the historical downtown districts of Palm Springs and La Quinta as well as the great shopping in Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage.
