Palm Springs, California Population, Hospitals, Airports, and Schools

by · Published · Updated

Palm Springs is located at 195km east of Los Angeles. The Palm Springs area is like a giant sandbox in which adults are invited to play their favorite games-the most popular being golf. Palm Springs itself is actually only one of several adjacent communities in the Coachella Valley, though all offer a similar type of vacation experience. Palm Springs has a number of attractions beyond the usual sporting pursuits. The Palm Springs Desert Museum has desert dioramas and collections of art and Native American artifacts. Nearby are Moorten Botanical Garden and, for relief from the heat, the popular Oasis Water Park. The Living Desert Museum is an outdoor facility that has a large variety of plants and animals native to the Palm Springs area as well as more exotic species. The Palm Springs Aerial Museum, located at the regional airport, houses fully restored World War II-vintage aircraft. Starting close to Palm Springs proper is the quirky and fun community of Desert Hot Springs, famous for its hot-springs resorts, some serving as “secret” escapes for Hollywood celebrities, others quite casual and family friendly.
