A variety of fun activities in Palm Springs including golf, horseback riding, hiking, shopping and fine-dining ensure entertainment for all ages. During the summer, residents and tourists love to keep cool at Knott’s Soak City, a water park offering 18 slides and a giant wave pool. If you’re looking to stay indoors for the day, don’t miss cultural attractions such as the Palm Springs Art Museum or the Palm Canyon Theatre.
If it’s adventure you crave, you can’t miss the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. It is the largest rotating aerial tramway in the world and is one of the biggest attractions in the Palm Springs area. Opened in September 1963, the tramway begins at the Valley Station and passes up North America’s steepest mountain face on its way to the Mountain Station at 8,516 feet above sea level.
The town is a popular destination for tourists, so it sees population fluctuations throughout the year. Investing in a vacation home can prove to be quite profitable as you can rent it out to tourists during peak tourism times of the year. Another distinguishing characteristic of Palm Springs is its gay and lesbian population, which is seven times the national average. Same sex couples seeking a welcoming and friendly place to live will find just that in Palm Springs, California.
