Southern California is always a great region to go when the family wanted to escape the cold temperatures of winter. And in this region, one of the most attractive destinations for family vacations is the city of Palm Desert. The attraction lies in the picturesque vista of magnificent mountains, clear blue skies, fresh air, and moderate climate. To match the stunning environment, there are numerous affordable Palm desert family hotels, as well as Palm Desert family resorts. But the grand natural beauty of the city and the luxury of accommodations may sometimes seem meaningless for children who are intent on having fun during family vacations.

Thus, Palm Desert also has attractions for kids. Two of the favorites are the Living Desert and the Red Jeep Adventures. The Living Desert aims to remove the assumption that no living thing can survive in a desert. The truth is that the desert is home to one of the world’s most fascinating animals. At the Living Desert’s Eagle Canyon, the kids can view the Golden Eagle and perhaps see up close the fierce mountain lions. The kids can also spend time at the Gecko Gulch, the Desert Playland where there is a Saguaro cactus slide, burrow tunnels, and a discovery dig area. On the other hand, the Red Jeep Desert Adventure is an eco-tour that will take the whole family to sites such as the Joshua Tree National Park, the San Andreas Fault, and the Rancho Mirage.
