If you have EBT, WIC etc. you get in for $5/person so definitely would do that if you have it! I love how big it is, and that is has different buildings for different activities. They also have a nice outdoor picnic area that has benches to have lunch/snacks. Plenty of space for kids to run around (outside) and explore. If its your first time just know youll be there for a couple of hours. The only con I would say is they dont allow strollers inside the buildings (theres a parking area for them in the front if needed). So if you have a baby make sure to bring a baby carrier. I understand why they have that policy, but it just makes it a little hard for parents with small babies. P.S. make sure you say hi to their tortoises outside!

I love love love how the garden was designed. We arrived around 3pm, on an October day when the temps were in the mid 70sF with nice breezes. There are so many photo opportunities and videos to be taken here!! I will definitely return here again next time I am in Palm Springs!!

Free entrance on Thursday after 5 is all I'm saying. Well…read morethat's not alll I'm saying but this museum is legit- many representations and versions that will draw anyone's interest even if you self claim to not like art - or museums. Located on block behind all of the action, it's a place to explore while you're being touristy in Palm Springs. And if it's 120 outside, you can thank me later. PS. Leave your water bottles in the car or you'll have to leave them at the counter.

I'm kind of embarrassed to say but this was my very first time visiting the museum. Years and years…read moreof visiting Palm Springs and it's finally time I stopped by. First off, I love the concept of free admission on Thursday. That sure brought people in to see what this place has to offer. We got tickets for the free admission night. It's great way to enjoy the place and then you can go to the village fest market right afterwards. There's parking in the covered parking structure across the street but there's a couple of parking lots all nearby. The entrance has a beautiful sculpture in front with the mountain as a backdrop. It was really busy last night with the free ticket and the heatwave. People wanted to be inside. I was surprised to see how big it was inside. Main part is three story with art and sculpture on all three lever. Each room showcase some beautiful artwork by artists from everywhere. Some unique pieces, amazing and beautiful sculpture, light fixtures and pieces that you wonder how they came up with that. I don't know how often pieces get replaced but I think some are permanently home here. Top floor was my favorite as it had some amazing sculptures and a nice collection of Andy Warhol pieces. Also they had a little game going on for kids when they checked in. I think anyone could have played but it was like a scavenger bingo hunt. Nice to have kids interacting with art. All the staff were very friendly and sweet. If you had any questions, they were there for you. Of course there's a gift shop inside. From the outside we noticed that they had a little eating area in the lower lever. I think it could be a cafe with the tables set up around a nice pool feature. The museum is beautiful and great for an afternoon out. Do try to take advantage when it's free admission on Thursday so you can check it out.

My boys loved reading about the different planes and all of the docents are So sweet. One helped us understand the map and where things are, and another docent talked with my boys about all the fast planes in the rotating exhibit area. We really liked him, he was very knowledgeable and patient. We did the tour of Miss Angela and our docent was so fun, he really liked talking to us but liked telling our kids about all the different jobs the pilots had on that plane. I wish this museum was closer because I think we would come more often. This museum is really fun and we got to watch some planes take off too. I am very happy we decided to stop by.

My husband, a stroke survivor walking with a wheeled walker, had no problem getting through to the entryway on the long paved path from the external gate on Miles Street. Inside, the exhibits are so interesting and the facility is bright and clean. We love Indio, so seeing the history of the city's populace enriched our understanding about life in early days. They have a beautiful shop which is now added to my list if cool places to obtain unique gift items. Parking is right across Miles on the corner, directly facing the big museum gate. A ramp connects the parking lot to the roadway. While the property is not a massive one, Coachella Valley Museum is a rich cultural walk through the olden days and you are still close to the downtown area and hidden foodie hangouts like Gabino's Creperie and the Friday Night Food Trucks or the sweet Farmers' Market.
