🌵 A Great Getaway Near LA: Palm Springs! Perfect for Family Trips!

During the kids' spring break, three families headed to Palm Springs for a desert adventure — and it was absolutely fantastic! Fun for the kids and relaxing for the parents. Here’s our easy-going travel guide 👇 🌵 Day 1: Indian Canyon We left LA in the morning and arrived at Indian Canyon's Andreas Trail in less than 2 hours. This place is perfect for hiking with kids! Right after getting out of the car, you’re by the stream — even if you don’t hike far, the kids can play in the water 💦. With plenty of spring rain, the creek was clear and flowing. We spent about 2 hours here before heading to our Joshua Tree Airbnb (50 mins away). We swam, soaked in the hot tub, and had hotpot! 🏡 The house was amazing — 3 beds, 3 baths (more in the next post!). 🌵 Day 2: Joshua Tree Leisurely Visit + Chilling at the Airbnb The Joshua Tree Visitor Center was just 10 minutes from our stay. We then went to the nearby Black Rock Canyon Trail 🆓 for photos and a quick taste of the desert scenery 🌵📸. After that, it was back to the Airbnb! We spent the afternoon swimming, soaking in the hot tub, grilling, and yes — more hotpot! 🍖 At night, we roasted marshmallows and stargazed — so chill and cozy! 🔥✨ 🌵 Day 3: Old Town + Desert Zoo We left the Airbnb at 11 AM and drove 10 minutes to Pioneer Town! This old Western movie set is totally worth it — super photogenic! There’s a small farm at the entrance where kids can pet animals 🐐❤️. We had lunch in town — tasty Mexican fast food right by the entrance! In the afternoon, we drove an hour to The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens! This zoo has a cool wild vibe — very natural and well-maintained. But beware: the desert heat is no joke 🌞❌. Not recommended above 30°C! Feeding the giraffes was a highlight 🦒📸, though otherwise it’s similar to a typical zoo. ✅ Summary: This 3-day, 2-night trip was perfectly balanced — the kids had a blast, and the parents weren’t exhausted! Spring is a great time to explore Palm Springs with the family. 👑 + ❤️ + ⭐️ Follow for more fun family spots and things to do in LA! #JustGo #LATravel #HiddenGemForKids #FamilyFriendly #PalmSprings #JoshuaTree #LAWeekend #LALife #CaliforniaTravel #FamilyTrip #SpringBreakWithKids #NatureWithKids #LosAngelesGetaway #FamilyTravel #ExploreLA
