If you have a family that has kids
that span the whole range of youth development, from infant to toddler to young
child to tween and to teenager, then you already know that planning and
eventually taking those family vacations can be quite challenging. The places
that would please the younger children may just bore the teens. And the places
that attract the big kids won’t be exciting for the small kids. Fortunately,
when the destination is in Palm
Springs, California,
there might be enough
tourist attractions that
will satisfy everyone in the family. At the same time, the family can choose
from a wide selection of Palm Springs
family hotels, inns, motels, bed and breakfasts, and other types of
accommodations.
Some of the places to go will include
the Flying Fortress, the Aerial Tramway, the art museum, and the Knott’s Soak City.
The Flying Fortress is an air
museum that contains the world’s most intensive collection of warplanes during
the Second World War. The kids can even climb up and look in the cockpits of
some of the famous fighters. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway has the
world’s biggest rotating tramcars. On board the tramcars, the family can ascend
as high as 2½ miles to have an aerial view of Southern
California. The Art
Museum can be the favorite of teenagers because of the podcasts. And
finally, the Knott’s Soak City is a
21-acre water park that features 22 rides, slides, a wave pool, and a lazy
river.
Palm Springs
family hotels cater to families seeking a bit of relaxation and warmth during
what is winter in the rest of the country. The Shilo Inn and the Chase Hotel
are two boutique hotels that are especially family-centered with beautiful
outdoor pools and great views of the local mountains. If your kids need
some extra special attention, consider the Wyndham Palm Springs
that offers a specially designed children’s pool and game room. Or the
Pepper Tree Inn, which offers in house babysitting services and a great pool
perfect for family fun. No matter your family’s size, your kids will
enjoy the novelty of getting their bathing suits out in December and warming
themselves at the poolside of one of Palm
Springs’ family hotels. If you are planning on a
longer stay, then there are plenty of Palm Springs
vacation rental options to choose from.
