Take a Tour Through Palm Springs with Exotic Estates

 

When you think of Palm Springs, thoughts of poolside pleasures and peaceful getaways come to mind.  Pack your bathing suit and sunscreen and get ready for a personal tour of this sunny desert retreat!

El Paseo

Otherwise known as the “Rodeo Drive” of the desert, this stylish center is filled with delicious dining options, designer stores, and lovely boutiques. With over 300 stores to choose from, El Paseo is a shopper’s paradise and a great way to cool off on scorching days.  Enjoy the beautifully manicured gardens of flowers and palm trees as you shop ‘till you drop!

Windmills

As you may notice on your way to this California paradise, the desert floor of Palm Springs is decorated with windmills.  Stop on the way and take the time to watch over 3,500 towering machines that are creating enough energy to power nearly 200,000 homes (over one-and a-half percent of California’s electricity).  Join a group or take a private tour with Palm Springs windmill tours!

Aerial Tram

Embark on an aerial journey to get a birds-eye view of Palm Springs!  Palm Springs Aerial Tramway takes you to the top of Chino Canyon on a ten-minute ride that passes through several climate zones. You can enjoy lunch at the Peaks Restaurant and Pines Café as you enjoy stunning views of the gorgeous landscape all year round! You might even get to see the skiers during the winter months!

Date Capital of the World

Palm Springs is known as the “Date Capital of the World,” and there is no better place to learn about the history of this fruit than at Shields Date Garden. This family-owned garden and café have been in business since 1924.  These delicious dates are grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. It's also a fruit that’s higher in potassium than bananas. They are a sweet and yummy treat, but don’t take our word for it, stop by the café and try the Shields Date Pancakes!

Palm Springs Art Museum

Located in the heart of downtown Palm Springs, you will find a sophisticated collection of art that has been loaned or donated by the area’s affluent residents.
