Things To Do
La Quinta Resort & Club Actvities
With over 41 pools, five PGA West Golf Courses, several shops and restaurants, a variety of activities ranging from hiking and biking to yoga and tennis, as well as a state-of-the-art spa, we are confident you'll find plenty to do around the resort!
Palm Springs Mod Squad (Architecture Tours)
Palm Springs is famous for its mid-century modern architecture, designed by some of the most famous architects of the 20th Century. We highly recommend taking a guided (or self-guided) tour of some these beautiful neighborhoods, formerly home to members of the Rat Pack, Marilyn Monroe, Hollywood legends, several U.S. Presidents and more!
Golf
Golf is synonymous with Palm Springs. With more than 100 golf courses in the area, including 5 at La Quinta Resort alone, you’re in for a treat if you enjoy the game.
Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
Take the Palm Springs tramway up 5,873 feet up into the cool climate of the San Jacinto Mountains for a breathtaking view of the desert (and maybe even some snow!).
Joshua Tree National Park
Joshua Tree and Joshua Tree National Park are just a quick drive from Palm Springs. If you have some time to kill and love National Parks, quirky desert towns and getting a little lost in the desert - we can't recommend this enough! Joshua Tree is Jenny and Jordan's favorite place to escape to on the weekends - take a day trip here to find out why!
Downtown Palm Springs
Looking for a unique gift or sweet treat? Exploring the shops and restaurants Downtown Palm Springs is a great way to spend a couple of free hours! While Downtown, don't forget to stop at the "Walk of Stars" (think Hollywood's "Walk of Fame) to see the "stars" of celebrities that loved to call Palm Springs home (everyone from Elvis to Frank Sinatra).
Cabazon Dinosaurs - World's Biggest Dinosaurs
These 100-ton Brontosaurus and T. Rex sculptures once beckoned motorists on their way to Palm Springs to a 24-hour diner and made a guest appearance in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure." Today, they are a fun photo-opp along the road to Palm Springs.
Moorten Botanical Garden
Are you a cactus lover? This is the place for you! The family-owned Moorten Botanical Garden dates back to the 1930's and features more than 3,000 specimens of desert plants!
Palm Springs Art Museum
Exhibitions often focus on the cultures and themes of the desert: Modernism, Native Americans and the American West.
Hiking
La Quinta and Palm Springs have several beautiful hiking trails to explore and with the great fall weather, there isn't a better time to experience the low desert by foot.
