The desert landscape and climate of Palm Springs beckoned us for a multi-generational education adventure and it did not disappoint.

When traveling as a family, we choose destinations with educational experiences for the kids. By visiting locations with diverse learning opportunities, we can take advantage of off-peak travel and not feel guilty about missing a few days of school.

Located two hours from Los Angeles, a visit to Greater Palm Springs is the perfect off-shoot destination to explore by soaking up its natural desert environment, culture, mid-century modern architecture and fun with a little well-earned dose of rest and relaxation.

We visited so many amazing places. It's easy to find activities to match the interest of any young scholar with Greater Palm Springs rich offerings.
