It was super super unforgettable memories between me and my family especially my kids. They had so much fun over there! We fed giraffes too ($10 for each) incredible experience! A lot things too see and learn. They have a learning center and a hospital center for animal and you can visit too. They also have some restaurants inside, food was good enough not too amazing. Overall, clean environment and kids friendly!

Getting There - we road tripped from LA to Denver and this was one of our stops. The drive from LA to Palm Springs was beautiful and relaxing. So much to see on the way there. Attractions - So we ended up seeing the Marilyn Monroe statue on museum way as well as a couple other pieces of art that are free to the public. We also drove past some notorious homes to see how they were decorated. Hotels - we stayed at the Caliente tropics hotel which was clean, comfortable, and accommodating. Everyone there was friendly and helpful. And this was one of the hotels during our trip that we had no issues with at all. Food & Restaurants - we ate at El Mirasol Cocina Mexicana, and despite some hair we found in the food, it was still delicious and the drinks were very good as well. We had margaritas and enchiladas and loved every second of it. After that we headed to the Bootlegger tiki bar and the atmosphere was both fun and relaxing. The drinks and customer service were GREAT. Shopping - we didnt really do much shopping. We went to one thrift store and couldn’t really find anything there.

Affected by the slight time difference, our trip in the first half of the United States is basically early and naturally wake up. Of course, there is no exception on this day in Palm Springs. Wake up in the morning, just outside the window just about to sunrise, sleepy eyes can't wait to go to the terrace, and stay beautiful! Because of the moment I walked to the terrace, the sun rose. The desert oasis has a light sweetness in the air, breathing the air, and the body wakes up at this moment. Washing, the room was rough and a little bit of bread and some milk, and I went out to the house. Time is limited, just walk around the house, if it is not full of today's itinerary, I must be wild and refuse to go.
