## Places

1. [Embassy Suites by Hilton Palm Desert](https://ourplayday.com/places/embassy-suites-by-hilton-palm-desert-palm-desert) (hotel, Palm Desert). Two-room suites with a sleeper sofa, so the kids get the living room and you get a door to close.
2. [Ironwood Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/ironwood-park-palm-desert) (playground, Palm Desert). An obstacle-course playground for ages 5 to 12 in a lightly fenced park, with desert walking loops around it.
3. [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://ourplayday.com/places/jw-marriott-desert-springs-resort-spa-palm-desert) (hotel, Palm Desert). Gondola boats ride the waterways through the resort, and there's mini golf and fish feeding, so the resort itself is the outing.
4. [Palm Desert Civic Center Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/palm-desert-civic-center-park-palm-desert) (playground, Palm Desert). Playgrounds, one with soft spongy flooring, beside a pond with ducks, so there's a duck walk between climbs.
5. [Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar](https://ourplayday.com/places/tommy-bahama-restaurant-bar-palm-desert) (restaurant, Palm Desert). A big patio with mountain views that seats large groups, so a table with several kids fits easily.
6. [Berger Foundation Iceplex](https://ourplayday.com/places/berger-foundation-iceplex-palm-desert) (ice rink, Palm Desert). Public skating in the arena's building, and you can rent a skating aid, so a first-timer has something to hold on to.
7. [Get Air Palm Desert](https://ourplayday.com/places/get-air-palm-desert-palm-desert) (attraction, Palm Desert). Wall-to-wall trampolines, foam pits and a ninja course, with toddler-only sessions for the smallest jumpers.
8. [Palm Desert Aquatic Center](https://ourplayday.com/places/palm-desert-aquatic-center-palm-desert) (pool, Palm Desert). A recreation pool with waterslides and diving boards, a splash playground and a rock wall, beside the civic center park.
9. [Sherman's Deli & Bakery](https://ourplayday.com/places/sherman-s-deli-bakery-palm-desert) (bakery, Palm Desert). The desert's classic deli, with its own bakery, so everyone finds something and dessert is already decided.
10. [The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens](https://ourplayday.com/places/the-living-desert-zoo-and-gardens-palm-desert) (garden, Palm Desert). Giraffes you can feed, a rhino savanna and a splash pad by the café, so there's a place to cool off halfway round.
