ATTRACTIONS FOR ALL AGES IN PALM SPRINGS

Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert

The Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert reopened in May 2024 with new exhibits to captivate the imaginations of children and nurture thoughtful hands-on learning. The whimsical, creative, and exciting new main gallery installations feature nearly 40 new exhibits, each crafted to inspire young minds to "Imagine," "Express," "Move," "Experiment," "Explore," and "Dream." Fan favorite activities including the Pizza Place, Grocery Store, Veterinary Clinic and Train Tables have been updated for imaginative play in the secondary gallery, and outside the Trike Track, Music Garden, Tortoise Habitat and Discovery Garden encourage the pursuit of adventure. All themed program areas offer endless opportunities for discovery and fun for the youngest visitors to the destination.
