Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

The world’s largest rotating tram car travels over two-and-one-half miles along the breathtaking cliffs of Chino Canyon, transporting riders to the pristine wilderness of the Mt. San Jacinto State Park. During your approximately ten-minute journey, tram cars rotate slowly, offering picturesque and spectacular vistas of the valley floor below. Once you reach the Mountain Station—elevation 8,516 feet—enjoy two restaurants, observation decks, natural history museum, two documentary theaters, gift shop and over 50 miles of hiking trails.

Palm Springs Air Museum

Sunnylands

For more than 40 years, Ambassadors Walter and Leonore Annenberg welcomed political, business, educational, and entertainment leaders to Sunnylands, their 200-acre winter home in Rancho Mirage, California. In 2001, the couple established The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands to preserve the estate as a place where world leaders could meet to discuss issues of national and international importance.

The Shops at 1345

Little Shop of Treasures

Birba

Known for its chic and relaxed atmosphere, it offers a casual yet sophisticated dining experience with a focus on fresh, flavorful food. The menu typically features a variety of Italian-inspired dishes, including pizzas, pastas, and small plates, paired with a curated selection of wines and cocktails.

Mr Lyon's Steakhouse

A classic steakhouse with a modern twist and delicious menu that puts local small farms first, delivered with impeccable tableside service. Be transported to a bygone era when jazz standards, martinis, and steak ruled the day while enjoying modern luxury and innovation.

Melvyn's

Located within the historic Ingleside Inn, Melvyn’s was the go-to spot for Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, and other Hollywood royalty back in the 50’s. This is the sort of throwback establishment that insists waiters wear linen jackets and hosts live music and dancing nightly at the adjoining piano lounge. Your traditional old school dining.

Bar Cecil

Seymour's

Upon entering its lush interior, through a sneaky unmarked side entrance, you’ll feel you’ve stumbled upon an institution that has been in Palm Springs for generations. The cocktail menu, by partner Steen BojsenMoller, is exquisitely balanced with no pretense. Seymour’s also features a large outdoor patio with lounge seating and bocce ball for a spirited night under the desert stars.

Hadley's Fruit Orchard

Just 18 miles from the city center in Cabazon, Hadley's was founded in 1931 and has long been loved for its vast produce selection. But its thick and perfectly sweet date shakes are what really draw a crowd and are a must order!

Joshua Tree National Park

The park is renowned for its unique and striking desert landscapes, which include rugged rock formations, expansive Joshua Tree forests, and vast, open vistas. It’s particularly famous for its otherworldly rock formations and dramatic, starlit night skies. The park is named after the Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia), a species of yucca plant with spiky leaves and a distinctive, tree-like shape. The park also hosts diverse wildlife adapted to desert conditions, such as bighorn sheep, coyotes, and various species of birds and reptiles.
