Good Question. I am in the Palm Springs area. I have a 3 yr old and a 3 month old. I have not found anything really. There is the Childrens Museum in Rancho Mirage but until recently it was not even of interest to my son. I h ave yet to find anything inexpencive and cool for them. My son has enjoyed playing outside on the patio in a rubbermaid bin with water. His own mini pool. He thinks it is the greatest thing. cheap too!
I live in reedley calif south of fresno and i have a nine year old son and a ten and ahalf month old son woukld like to make some friends in my neck of the woods
