THINGS TO DO IN GREATER PALM SPRINGS

Discover sunny days and scenic views in Greater Palm Springs, a year-round playground for those who enjoy being active—and those who let relaxation guide them. 

From amazing arts and culture destinations to incredible outdoor adventures, you'll find plenty of things to do during your stay.

Tee off at one of the more than 110 local golf courses, swing a tennis racquet on the same courts that legends have play, explore the desert on a sightseeing tour, wow the kids with a trip to The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, or visit museums and boutique shops in Palm Springs. And with several casinos in Greater Palm Springs, there are even more ways to stay and play. 

If rest and relaxation are your priorities, there's an abundance of pools to lounge beside, cocktail in hand. Book a treatment or day pass at a local spa, and the hot mineral waters at The Spa at Séc-he and in Desert Hot Springs will leave you remarkably rejuvenated. 

More than 300 miles of hiking trails will guide you through California fan palm oases, breathtaking valley views, and historical sites—plus opportunities to see hundreds of different plants and animals. 

Visiting for a world-class film, music, or art festival? Our annual events calendar includes many internationally renowned events. 

This is your guide to Greater Palm Springs—a desert oasis with much to explore.
