Visit Greater Palm Springs

Greater Palm Springs is Southern California’s family-friendly desert oasis, with nine distinct cities each offering their own blend of accommodations, attractions, and things to do that allow families to shape a trip that truly fits their needs.

With a wide range of experiences—relaxing resorts and vacation rentals, family-friendly attractions, outdoor adventures, and plenty of space to reset—it’s a destination perfect for those looking to get out and explore every day as well as for those who’d just like to kick back and spend time at the pool. Offering a unique combination of escape, adventure, inspiration, and relaxation, Greater Palm Springs is the perfect destination for parents and kids alike.

Proud to be recognized as a Certified Autism Destination™ by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES), Greater Palm Springs is rooted in meaningful, on-the-ground readiness where all are welcome. A host of local hotels, attractions, and entertainment venues have completed specialized training and certification as Certified Autism Centers™ — and the list is ever-growing — so staff across the destination are better equipped to welcome and assist autistic and sensory-sensitive guests with practical support and informed care.

Come as you are and enjoy a trip shaped by comfort, understanding, and standout memories; the choices are as endless as our blue skies. For more information, visit our trip planning page for families with members who are neurodiverse or on the autism spectrum.
