The Living Desert is a not to be missed Palm Springs valley attraction. This 1200 acre park, located in Palm Desert, features desert animals and plant life from around the world. Beautifully designed animal enclosures provide visitors with as close to a natural experience as possible. Viewing the giraffes silhouetted against the Santa Rosa Mountains is an unforgettable experience. The cat collection – both big and small specimens
from all parts of the globe – is noteworthy. A carousel, gigantic model train exhibit, a butterfly enclosure, gifts shops and restaurants make this a must for all visitors to the desert.
