Escape to the Coachella Valley at a delightful time of year and discover the wonder of the world’s deserts at The Living Desert Zoo & Gardens. “The wild is waiting” at this unique zoo/endangered species conservation center/botanical garden/natural history museum/wilderness park that has preserved, conserved and interpreted the world’s deserts and all its varied plant and animal life for over 50 years! Enjoy an included boxed lunch and approximately 3 ½ hours at leisure to explore this desert oasis that features well-marked pathways that lead you to “African Safari,” “Australian Adventures” and “Wild Americas” – each featuring native plants, animals and natural phenomena associated with deserts on each of these continents. In “Africa” be on the lookout for the cheetah, Amur leopard, giraffe, zebra, gazelle, ostrich and more. Go “Down Under” for an engaging and immersive experience featuring Bennett’s wallabies, free-flying budgies and cockatiels along with playful emu, watchful tawny-frog mouths and singing kookaburras. In “North America” you’ll find the eagle, bobcat, mountain lion, jaguar, badger, Mexican wolf, bighorn sheep, reptiles and more. Attend various “Keeper Connections” to learn about some of your favorite critters from the dedicated keepers that care for them. Visit the state-of-the-art Tennity Hospital & Conservation Center to see what goes into caring for the animals. Visit the spectacular G-Scale Model Train exhibit featuring 3,300 feet of track, eight different loops and up to 19 trains running through natural and historic scenes. No visit to the Coachella Valley is complete without a stop at Hadley Fruit Orchards. Founded in 1931, this southern California landmark has provided a friendly place to shop for premium quality Medjool dates, dried fruit, nuts, hand mixed trail mixes, honey, preserves, freshly-ground peanut butter and a variety of gifts. Head to the snack bar for the beloved date shake! This tour involves extensive walking.
