Very nice locker room amenities- steam room, sauna, aromatherapy showers, outdoor jacuzzi, and both indoor and outdoor ladies’ lounges were very nice. Locker room had everything you would need to get ready. Only disappointment was the co-ed jacuzzi was out-of-order and the fake rock backdrop in the co-ed area was inauthentic. Massage was excellent. Would come again for sure.

Outside the library, there is a statue of a young man. It shows also a lot of rocks with colors. There are a lot of books,videos, computers and more. The librarians take good care.

10. Children's Discovery Museum

An interactive museum with hands-on exhibits allows children to explore and learn.
Reviewed By NYTravelerBD - Larchmont, United States
We visited this wonderful children's museum with a group of children ranging in age from 4 to 8, and they all had a blast. The museum is highly interactive and does a great job of offering activities/exhibits that are geared to younger children as well as kids who are closer to 8 to 10. There isn't a whole lot to do for children in Palm Springs, so this made for a very nice day with our 6-year-old daughter.
