How to Stay Cool During Your Visit to Palm Springs

Palm Springs, CA – July 19, 2010 –Despite the warm dry temperatures in Palm Springs, sunseekers can enjoy an array of activities to stay cool.

Day 1: Explore Momentous Museums

Take a docent tour of the world-class Palm Springs Art Museum to view Modern and Contemporary American works as well as Studio Art Glass and Classic Western American Art. In addition, the Art Museum hosts a free foreign film series every Thursday called Global Lens 2010 through September at the Annenberg Theater.

Stroll through large hangers to view one of the nation’s largest collections of World War II flying aircraft at the Palm Springs Air Museum. Special kid programs are available through out the summer.

Visit the quaint Aqua Caliente Cultural Museum offering exhibitions portraying the history and culture of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and other indigenous people.

Day 2: Outdoor Adventure
Starry desert nights are the perfect setting for evening voyages filled with nocturnal wildlife, moonlight hikes, and off-road adventures. Take a guided four-wheel drive along the San Andreas Fault, get inside one of Palm Springs’ thousands of hillside windmills, spy on hundreds of migrating birds at the nearby Salton Sea, or climb among the eerie rocky moonscapes of Joshua Tree National Park.

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is an entertaining way to cool down and watch the world below. Summer passes are available for unlimited rides all summer, which are great for hiking before catching the lights on the return. Temperatures at the top are usually 20-30 degrees cooler from the desert valley.

Summer golf course specials in Palm Springs are swinging into action. Master the game of golf while taking advantage of reduced rates at Palm Springs golf courses including the legendary Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort.

Day 3: Cool Pools and Fun in the Sun

Spend the day riding waterslides and soaking up the sunshine at Knott’s Soak City. Enjoy the views from a cabana while listening to the sounds of the finest DJs at one Palm Springs’ weekend cool pool parties at the Spa Resort Casino, Riviera Resort & Spa, Hotel Zoso, Ace Hotel & Swim Club and Viceroy. 

Enjoy a poolside cabana massage at one of Palm Springs’ signature spa resorts or immerse in a hot natural mineral baths at downtown Indian-owned spa, a wellness refuge for generations.

Try your luck at the 24-hour downtown Spa Resort Casino, and then kick into high gear at one of the local dance clubs. After your evening on the town, consider a midnight swim under the stars…
