- Everything YOU need to know to visit Palm Springs California. Palm Springs became famous starting around the 1950’s when Hollywood stars would flock here for relaxation and parties, often by the pool, with a craft cocktail in hand. Known for its hiking, mid-century modern architecture, natural beauty, and did I mention sparkling pools, with lazy rivers, water slides, and swim up bars? Rain is rare here with over 300 days of sunshine per year, perfect for playing golf at the regions 100+ golf courses. About 400,000 people call this area home, but the city gets its name from the approximately 10,000 palm trees that grow here.

thank u ima go in july
A few things to point out that were missed in your great video that does give awesome insight to what things to do in Palm Springs:
1.Every Thursday night on downtown Palm Springs is a street fair. Featuring food trucks, popup 10x10 tents of homemade goodies and small buisness and local organization from Palm Springs. Walk the 3 blocks on main street as you listen to music and watch spray paint art create a master piece in less then 10 minutes.
2.College of the Desert flea market happens every Saturday and Sunday. Great place to get coverups for the pool, sunglasses, wallets, cheap kids toys, and more.
3.Living Desert Zoo great for families to see Rhinos, hand feed a Giraffes, and if you go mid March to April its their Zoo Lights.
4.Coachelle Valley recently became home to a minor league hockey team Firebirds, association to the NHL Seattle Kraken Team.
Thanks Kelsey for the extra tips!
And the gay district on arenas..
I agree and really enjoyed your video. I just wanted to add that although Palm Springs is really dog friendly we found it odd that dogs weren’t welcomed on the trails even if they were leashed.😢
@@IndianLunagood. Dogs destroy natural habitat and no one wants to step in dog shit.
Great comment Kelsey... I love the Palm Springs Street Fair! 🌴🏡🌴
Cathedral City local here! Also keep in mind that during November-January is pretty high in traffic since everyone is visiting for holidays (more typically ‘Snow Birds’, which the locals refer to as ppl from Washington, Canada etc) so be prepared for that!
Fake news it’s busier in the summer in Palm Springs. Cathedral city 🤢🤢
Exactly. And he needs to factor in drive times for Southern California freeways. No way can you get to Palm Springs from Los Angeles anymore in 2 hours with the traffic congestion, even at midnight. That hasn’t been possible since the 80’s…😂
I love Cathedral City & especially The Cove! 🌴🏡🌴
Canadian here. Snowbirds stay down there until the snow melts here and warms up so until March usually.
Wanted to mention the Palm Springs Air Museum as another thing to do. Great video as always.
Thanks lizzard!
Thanks for stopping by my hometown! My mom lives off El Paseo and That Mole restaurant just opened. Also thank you for distinguishing the different cities. When the tennis tournament happens in March they always say Palm Springs when its the Indian Wells tennis garden 😅
We go to Palm Springs 2-3 times a year and I love all the new recommendations you have!
Awesome 😉
Thursday is free entry to the art museum
Awesome video Chris!!! Love this a lot, love the edit and new format really great! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Mauricio!
Excellent video on my favorite place to sell homes... BEAUTIFUL PALM SPRINGS! 🌴🏡🌴
Great info…never knew Palm Springs was an “area” of a bunch of towns! Give the Princess a big hug from this random fan…just enchanting!
Thanks Claudia
The traveling princess is so precious! She’s a cutie pie.
Thanks William
Thank you for visiting the CV, loved the video and thanks for mentioning the nearby cities. You hit the nail on the head here, immediately subscribed!
-La Quinta resident.
Thanks Chris! Friends of ours suggested we check out Palm Springs, but this video has convinced me that Palm Springs is definitely our next travel spot to check out. All the info I needed to feel confident with my travel planning... but let's face it, we all know Travelling Princess was the star of this show! :)
Awesome Diego! 😉
Wowwww great place!!! Thanks so much for posting this video!!!🥰
My pleasure!
Holy crap, can't believe how cute your little girl is Chris. What a gift. 😊
Awww
I drove from Phoenix to Palm springs; it is really relaxing place to be
Going next week so this is perfect timing
This was an awesome video, lots of info and fun to watch❤
Thanks Brenda!
I absolutely love Palm Springs, epeically in March when the BNP Paribas Open takes place; it's the 'fifth grand slam', and it's in Indian Wells, so on the way. The weather and mountain backdrop will never get old
Thank you guys for visiting us 💯
Thanks for not bothering any locals while filming. We hate that kind of stuff here in our little town. It is funny tho how so many make this town more that they what it actually is which is a glorified resort for the rich and famous while the rest of live with high taxes all year round and no locals discounts anywhere.
I try not to be a bother :)
Loving the new edits Chris, they make all the difference and I for one enjoyed the fanciness lol!
Thanks Essy!
Traveling Princess really catch my eye. 😻
She is sooooo adorable. 💞
Awww
This is a great video of showing many attractions at Palm Springs
Thanks Linky
Thanks Chris ,for showing us that lovely part of California I was there once in 1995,with friends in June. It was way too hot during the day, even at the pool ,that we stayed in the nice hotel room with A/C. I think we went out for lunch. I think we took the tram seeing nice views. At night it cooled off quite a bit and had fun going to dinner and to the bars.
Yeah... June is way way way hot!
Great video! Joshua Tree park is a great place for rock climbing. The traffic looks busy on your highway shots.
Great video! I prefer to stay in Joshua Tree and then visit Palm Springs during my stay
Thank you!!
THANKS FOR SHARING ALL THIS GREAT INFORMATION. KEEP UP THE AWESOME JOB. YOUR DAUGHTER IS SIMPLY ADORABLE 😍
Thanks Tracey!
I’m going there for a music festival next week and I enjoyed watching this
Sweet!
Omg how cool a video of home ❤
Thank for another informative vid.
Thanks MyVegas
There really is a lot of things to do in and around Palm Springs. It’s a great place to visit. We stayed at the Marriott you mentioned and overall it’s a very nice hotel albeit on the pricey side. The rooms aren’t huge, at least the one we stayed in, but I never found myself needing more or wishing for more space. The Palm Springs area is really a place where you want to be out doing stuff.
Very helpful thanks
Glad it helped
Every time I'm interested in a new city I find one of your videos! Haha, you're everywhere!!
That's awesome!
Great info, thanks!
Thanks Chris!
Great video my mom lives there and I live in NYC and visit in Jan. The palm springs airport is the most beautiful lobby cos it's outside. I'm from LA and as a kid it was real big spring break town that used to compete with fla in the 70s I guess not anymore but coachilla brings young people there. Mama Gina restaurant dinner and Elmer's for bfast are great Elmer's has a 50s vibe great menu
Thank you for your videos!
My pleasure Mary!
Good tips!
Love your videos! Very informative!
Y’all’s daughter is too cute!
Thanks Jackie!
Great video Chris! I've been considering Palm Springs for my next vacation so this really helps. And the travelling princess is so adorable!
Thanks Rob!
If you go.. check out the restaurant Billy Reed's..great breakfast and they have a koi pond out front
Princess must get introduced to loads of unusual foods as most kids don't , which is fantastic. Does she like trying a variety? I wouldn't have a clue how to order for her. How do you do it Chris?
She gets introduced to loads of new foods.. but like all kids like the kiddy foods like Burgers, fries, pizza, ice cream, etc 😉
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Thanks Linda!
Excellent presentation, Chris; especially since you mentioned the satellite cities, as well.
Thank you kindly Alex!
You forgot Ontario (ONT) Airport. I'm sure you remember John Wayne because it's closest to your place and it's a great Airport because I've worked there before.
You always have great videos and information.
Thanks Glen... I didn't really "forget" Ontario.. it just doesn't have very many flights... It does have a flight to Taipei now which is exciting :)
Trademarked Traveling Princess is BACK!
Maravilhoso. From Brazil top
Excellent video, Chris, and your daughter is adorable! Not sure if you had a chance to check it out while you were there, but the Margaritaville Resort Palm Springs that opened in 2020 is the former Riviera Hotel, and they retained the original bones and layout of the legendary Riviera. The beachy decor, of course, screams Jimmy Buffett. So many cool features, but as you make your way from the lobby down the stairs to the pool area, the impressive door handles have the numbers 5 and 9, because the Riviera opened in 1959. I've been going to PS since I was 10 years old. It's my home away from home.
Thanks Reed! And no.. we didn't have a chance to visit the Margaritaville Resort. Will have to do that next time
Been to the Palm Springs area for the bnp paribas open in Indian Wells! It’s a pretty nice city
good times
Great video as always. Shockingly I have never been to PS, Morongo was furtherest east I've gotten. Definitely gonna go check it out now. Side note, Ontario airport ONT would be another good choice to fly into and closer than SNA.
Thanks pierce!
The princess is so cute!! Great video & great partner presenting it 🌈
Thanks Nina!
You’re welcome!
Also Village Fest on Thursday nights in Palm Springs.

Thanks Regina!
Super video👍
Thanks tips 4 trips!
I went there last summer I stayed at the Hyatt regency Indian well I really enjoyed my stay
Nice+
Good video!
Just side note for people looking at Joshua tree, two campsites, cottonwood and black rock has running water and flush toilets.
Also temperatures in palm do going below 70in the winter time. There will be some days that the high is 60 and raining. Not often but it happens, especially this past winter there was a lot rain.
Thanks for the extra tips Jennifer!
I am a local, and I am letting you know there are hot springs in Palm Springs. They are just now being re-opened after being closed for several years. The Agua Caliente Spa opens April 4, 2023.
Thanks for the tip!
What a cool dad you are Chris. I will be at Morongo on March 3rd for George Clinton and P-funk, last tour from what I heard. Nice work!!
Thanks Sean!
Hey Chris, great video, love that place. Regards to Airports, you forgot to mention Ontario, CA and Burbank, CA. They are closer than LAX.
Thanks Ron. Indeed. Thanks for the addition!
We love you Chris, been a long time subscriber of your channel but just never commented much, your vids have been so helpful especially the one you did on how to get across in LA becuase im from the UK and planning to come LA too, i hope one day i get to meet you too as i been a big fan of your channel, by the way, your little one is so cute, she must love sitting on your shoulders getting around :)
Awesome. Thanks AA. And yes. My shoulders are her favorite form of transport
@@YellowProductions lol that's so cute that you carry her every where you go. I learnt so much new things from your channel. I been to Vegas and LA before but LA was only a day trip. I really wanna spend more time there, thanks to your videos they helped a lot. You are a true legend 😊
@AA Photography & Film awww 😀
@@YellowProductions 😊🙂👏👍
Hope to visit in 2024........looks beautiful! Best place to stay that doesn't cost a fortune..?
When booking in home massage services, make sure you know what city you’re staying in. It can be up to 60 minute drive from Palm Springs to La Quinta. We have to charge for that.
Bring some warm clothes for comfort if you're taking the Tram, the top is cooler than the valley, even when there's no snow.
Great tip
The best deal is the Tram ride & dinner for $38 after 4pm. See website.
Thanks for the great video. Visited PS last July with the family staying at one of the Downtown Hotel and visited most of the places on the video including Marlin Monroe statue and the Aerial Tram. During July it was super hot at 116 degrees even around 10PM. So probably would avoid going there at that time next time.
For the Ariel Tram how does the parking lot bus work? One thing I regret was driving all the way up there which was an uphill climb and lots of rubber burning. So would probably take the bus next time to go up.
Thanks Song! Not sure on the Aerial Tram bus. We always park pretty close to the tramway
Your daughter is so cute 🥰
Also need to try the date shakes when in the area.
mmmm
Wait, talk about date shakes, tour date farms....etc. Thursday night farmers market!
Interesting geological fact is that the hot springs in Desert Hot Springs are on the other North American plate side of the San Andreas fault while in Palm Springs, there is plenty of cold ground water. The San Andreas fault also runs through the parking lot of the Indian Casino on I-10 outside of town and with regards to I-10, watch out for the construction and the huge amounts of trucks.
Closest airport to PS, other than PS Airport, is Ontario Airport, which is frequently cheaper to fly into and rental cars can also be less expensive!
Hi Chris. Great information on Palm Springs. How does the hot springs compare to those in Japan? Wouldn't mind trying it out. Take care.
Hi James... honestly they are quite "meh" compared to the ones in Japan :)
children like in summer time aquatic parks
Thanks for the great summary, confirms why I don't have Palm Springs on my list of vacation destinations and now I know for sure that I have no reason to ever put it on my list.
Go to Mar a loggo where tRumpsters pay homage to their golden turd 10:33
I'll be there on the 8th
Great video! I haven’t read all the comments, so sorry if this is repeat. If you don’t fly into PSP, the next closest airport is Ontario.
Thanks Liz :)
Lol oh Chris....travelling princess is in your vocab. Still better than spunky princess. Lol.
February-check out Palm Springs area midcentury modern home tour and events. Can use airport in Ontario, CA...rent a car...
I just went last week and I missed so many good things. Wish I watched this video before 😢
Next time!
Im back finally. Missed the videos but had to get a new PC
Welcome back! Did you buy, or build your new PC?
@@YellowProductions I had to buy one :( I need to build one though but graphics cards seem to be a bit......pricy lol
Interesting there was no mention of ONT Airport as an alternative.
Great video..what hotel was the one you show 6:13 ?? Kid friendly?? Thanks
That was the JW Marriott Dessert Springs: Here's my review of it: czcams.com/video/nZ8y6NqTT1I/video.html
@@YellowProductions thank you👍
Yes this whole valley folds up after dinner.
Glad it wasn't just me that thought that ;)
Ontario Airport is way closer than LAX,or John Wayne btw
❤️
Pee Wees Big Adventure one of my favorite movies
There's actually a tour of the big windmills you can do, either in your own car or guided!
Neat!
Hey Chris quick question, I went to a concert last year to the Pala Casino, it felt like it was in the middle of nothing but the place was vegaslike crowded, why is that? 😮
Pala is one of my favorite casinos around the area... people just make the really long drive there
I've been going to Palm Springs since the 60s..never stayed at a resort..too many people..I prefer the small motels/hotels, most have a 50s, 60s vibe about them.
Dear person reading this YOU are beyond a Hollywood Superstar to a gazillion times and beyond that and beyond that and beyond that and beyond that and beyond that!😀
0:32 is the desert springs resort in palm desert
Ontario Airport would be much closer then lax or orange county...I live by the airport...only an hour from palm springs
I've heard about Palm Springs many times, but I have not realized about how much there is to it. It looks really cool with all the different attractions there including the trails nearby. It's cool that Joshua Tree National Park is really close!
Time for a visit! :)
My friend is a biologist and she says the desert zoo is great ! It’s actually quite large .
If you watch the 1960s movie the Satan Bug it’s set in Palm Springs and the deadly virus has to be kept cool. They hide it in the water of the Desert Hot Springs! The movie is free in the internet . Shows a lot of mid century houses
Chris is going to Coachella
Good for you to stay with your daughter....
U forgot to tell About the "preserve" wild live at mesquit ex country club.
Skip Palm Springs. Stay in Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, or Indian Wells. They have better resorts and no overrun by the homeless.
I used to be Elena‘s housekeeper she’s a great woman want to talk about specially being A native of Russia great woman
So funny-I grew up in this area, and those giant dinosaurs weren’t always painted those ridiculous colors. They didn’t cost any money and anyone could go inside and climb around in them for free. Back in the 80’s, there wasn’t a gift shop there, and it wasn’t a tourist attraction; it was just an old truck stop where someone had put these giant dinosaurs. My boyfriend at the time did some construction work there.
As for close airports, there is one major airport you forgot to mention: its Ontario international airport and it’s much closer than LAX. It may help some people fly in and save them a long drive if they can get a flight into ONT. LAX is more like 3 hours away from the Palm Springs area than 2 hours, if you factor in Southern California traffic, which you have to do. I live in LA now, and 30 years ago it used to only take 2 hours-but now when we drive out to the desert, the minimum time it takes with normal traffic is 3 hours-sometimes 4 hours. And we know the shortcuts. California has become ridiculously overcrowded and the freeways are always congested-even at night and on weekends.
Thanks for the suggestion on Ontario
