While we were in Palm Desert we went to the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, once during the day and another time at night. The zoo has animals that thrive in desert climates. It was interesting but kinda weird to see zebras and giraffes in Palm Desert. At night the gardens are open (by ticket) to see the “lanterns” which are huge lite-up structures, many of them with moving parts. The Living Desert Museum never had many visitors until they added the the zoo and “lanterns.” Now it has become quite the popular attraction. I think we’ll pass on going the next time we’re in PD - once was enough for us.
