Visit Palm Springs and Educate Your Family about our Desert Animals
Updated: Sep

The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens remains one of Coachella Valley’s premier family attractions. It is located on 1800 acres; 1,720 acres are left, in a natural state in Palm Desert, 15 miles from downtown Palm Springs, California.

This beautiful attraction is often referred to as The Zoo. Its mission is to help preserve and protect endangered species. A great deal of their effort goes to educating the public about the fragile balance of the desert ecosystem of its plants and animals. There is also an animal hospital on the grounds.

If we have visitors and they are staying for a bit, it very high on our list of suggestions for an attraction not to be missed. Noticed I started by describing it as a family attraction. I confess. There are many times I have gone there on my own to see special exhibits. Or leisurely wander in an environment which is bound to make you smile.

When you ready to make the journey, here are some tips to enhance your visit:
1. Wear sunscreen.
2. Wear a hat.
3. Water is available throughout the park. However, it is easy to become mesmerized watching the animals. You may not want to interrupt your viewing time because you are thirsty.
4. Your camera or phone to capture the antics of these amazing animals.
5. Food if you have special dietary needs, but otherwise there are places to purchase lunch.
Children’s Play Area and Picnic Area
There are also picnic benches in Gecko Gulch if you want to picnic while the children are playing on this outstanding play area.
6. You can purchase a ticket for a shuttle, which frequently stops within the zoo when you buy your ticket or any shuttle driver.
7. Strollers and wheelchairs can be rented.
8. All areas are handicap accessible.
