    Beautiful history shared by Virginia Sisk and her son David. I recommend a visit. Your family can experience the past!

    Something about being at an art museum always fills my soul, and the Palm Springs Art Museum did…read morejust that. We got lucky and came on a Thursday night when the street market was happening and admission was free. It was packed in the best way -- it felt like a community event inside the museum. The space has three floors to explore plus a gift shop with actually cool items (not the usual logo magnets your grandma collects). We ended up buying a beautiful ceramic vase for a surprisingly reasonable price, especially for a museum shop. The art itself was beautiful, with a mix of everything -- photography (my favorite medium), sculptures, ceramics, paintings, and more. I loved how many pieces represented the LGBTQ community and people of color. The stories behind the work were inspiring, and it felt good supporting a museum that prioritizes diversity. And as always, one of my favorite parts of visiting any museum is the building itself. This one is stunning -- natural, open, and thoughtfully designed. Definitely on my list of must‑do activities in Palm Springs.

    It's $25 per person but if you have an account with Bank of America, the entrance fee is waived. At…read moreleast that was the case when we were there. Our friend was lucky enough to be able to take advantage of that. Love going to the art museums! This is a small museum but enough to see to spend a couple of hours here out of the heat. Wish we had the foresight to come at the right time to join their docent led tours. The museum was not crowded or busy when we were there on a Saturday. There were many cool contemporary art pieces. We forgot about the sculpture garden until after we had left and we were walking to our car. It can be seen from outside looking down into the garden. We'll have to remember to do that next time we're there again. Lots of free parking spaces in the lot next to and across from the museum.

There's so much to explore, and every room has something different that keeps it exciting. The science experiments were really cool and engaging, making it a great place for kids to learn while having fun. The whole house is designed in such a creative way that it feels like you're stepping into a playful, imaginative world. They also have a small gift shop at the end where you can pick up souvenirs. It's nothing fancy, mostly typical trinkets and gadgets, but it's a nice touch to wrap up the experience. Overall, such a fun place for families and kids. Definitely a 5-star experience and something I'd recommend if you're in the area!

My daughter and I spent over two hours playing. Admission is done in time slots. Staff clean and sanitize between time slots. The room I enjoyed the most was the music room, with the kitchen room being second. The gift shop is at the entrance and stocks science themed toys. Coffee can be purchased at the front for $1.50. If unsure when it's beat to go, call ahead as Pennypickle's hosts many field trips, especially during the first morning time slot.

She was quite happy about finally seeing the museum! Located on a school campus, the museum sits back a ways from the parking lot across a courtyard from the school building. Parking and walkways are shared between visitors and students alike. The museum is bright and airy, having a nice flow from room to room, through timeline to timeline. The displays are beautifully constructed with thorough yet engaging text to explain each finding or display. The exhibit rooms are large enough to give that gasp that comes with being in the presence of creatures of such size, but cozy enough to linger and read without being overwhelmed. There are hands-on activities for youths and those young at heart, a children's play and explore area, and a theater/presentation area. We really enjoyed the presentation that brought the area to "life" through a realistic, animated depiction. We sat on molded rocks, which was fun. When students came, they sat on the floor. It was cool and quiet. The bathrooms were clean and easily accessible. There's a small gift shop with some eye catching toys, jewelry, snacks, etc.

    Great walk through museum…read more Make sure to get a few pages and crayons to color in the scavenger hunt. They have a mastodon and a mammoth. Never knew the difference until my visit. Check out the most complete giant sloth and juvenile mammoth I've seen.
