The Living Desert Zoo and Garden
Feed giraffes by hand, spy on jaguars or make friends with a black rhino; Living Desert Zoo is an interactive nature experience. With over 500 animals, you could spend a week just exploring the Zoo! 1200 acres sprawl out across the Sonoran desert, 80 of them developed into the zoo and botanical gardens, the rest available to hike and explore. The Living Desert’s botanical gardens feature 50 immersive gardens representing deserts of North America and Mexico. Animal environments vary from African Savanna to Wild Americas to Australian Adventures.
Fantasy Balloon Flights

Drift magically across the silent sunrise sky and watch the desert come to life during a hot air balloon ride across the Coachella Valley. Toast each other with champagne and marvel at the unmatched birds-eye views over the hills. Daily sunset flights too if the early morning is not your game.
The Street Fair at College of the Desert

You can shop the malls for brands everyone else can get or you can do you and head to one of the top street fair shopping experiences. Open-air and shaded, strolling through the market browsing the artisan home goods, fashion and furniture is a pleasure; a way to appreciate the smaller scale of life. A Farmers Market, live entertainment, gourmet eats and maybe even vintage cars will tempt and charm you. Go ahead and spend here; your purchases finance scholarships for College of the Desert students. Open weekends in the season.
