Alex and Serene loved the zoo.
The Living Desert in Palm Desert, CA (neighbor to Palm Springs) features animals and plants native to hot desert regions worldwide including jaguar, giraffe, meerkat, cheetah and two dozen other species. The zoo and its gardens are open daily, but hours in the summer are shorten due to excessive heat. There is a carousel, a G-scale model train exhibit, a wildlife show, as well as numerous other perks (like camel rides) that are offered at special times. For hikers, the park offers more than 1,080 acres of undisturbed Sonoran desert to take in for a casual stroll or a strenuous hike through a boulder field.
