The Living Desert Palm Desert California

THE LIVING DESERT – PALM DESERT CALIFORNIA CELEBRATING 40 YEARS IN 2010

One of the great resources here in the Coachella Valley is the Living Desert in Palm Desert. Started in 1970 this interesting park is part zoo, part nature conservancy and part Desert Oasis.

Ongoing attractions include an amazing model train display located totally outdoors (you can’t do that in Des Moines or Seattle!) a Carousel, featuring endangered species, an animal hospital and regular giraffe feedings that the public can participate. Seasonally the Living Desert host dozens of other events from lecture series to parties and a holiday light show. They even sponsor trips to other natural wonders such as Whale watching in Baja and nature outings to Catalina Island.

The Living Desert has over 450 desert animals and hosts over 350,000 visitors every year the array of flora and fauna represents over 10 different ecosystems.

Opportunities to support the Living Desert abound with membership, adopt and animal programs and dozens of events throughout the year. I have been a member for 4 years now and have really enjoyed it. Learn more at
