Palm Springs offers a diverse mix of attractions suited to different kinds of outings. Museums dominate the cultural landscape: the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum displays the history and culture of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, while the Palm Springs Art Museum operates locations across Palm Springs and Palm Desert, where visitors explore contemporary and Western art exhibitions, modernist architecture, and outdoor sculpture. The Cornelia White House is a historic home museum built in 1893 entirely from recycled railroad ties salvaged from abandoned Palmdale Railroad tracks. For active families, Indian Canyons comprises ancestral Cahuilla tribal lands with more than 60 miles of hiking and walking trails across multiple canyons, and Moorten Botanical Garden is a privately-owned arboretum where visitors walk a nature trail through more than 3,000 varieties of desert plants arranged in concentrated habitats. Escape Room Palm Springs operates seven private escape games near Downtown Palm Springs and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Riddle Routes is a mobile app-based scavenger hunt where teams download a game and follow trivia, geocaching, puzzle-solving, and walking tour challenges through local streets. Tiny Toddler Soft Play is an indoor playground designed for children ages zero to eight.
