## Places

1. [Mission Springs Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/mission-springs-park-desert-hot-springs) (playground, Desert Hot Springs). Upgraded playground equipment, and the park is a stop on the Agents of Discovery app, so kids can do a phone-guided mission after the swings.
2. [The Cottage Too](https://ourplayday.com/places/the-cottage-too-desert-hot-springs) (restaurant, Desert Hot Springs). An old-school breakfast and lunch diner, going since 1985, and easy to grab to go.
3. [Cabot's Pueblo Museum](https://ourplayday.com/places/cabot-s-pueblo-museum-desert-hot-springs) (museum, Desert Hot Springs). Guided and audio tours of an old pueblo, about 45 minutes, up narrow stairs, so a carrier beats a stroller. A grounds-only ticket suits small kids.
4. [John H. Furbee Aquatics Center](https://ourplayday.com/places/john-h-furbee-aquatics-center-desert-hot-springs) (pool, Desert Hot Springs). The city pool, with open swim for every age and dive-in movies you watch from the water.
