Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel

Palm Canyon Drive closes to cars for a street fair with food stalls and street performers, so kids can roam on scooters while you browse.

Scoops and Dole Whip right on the Walk of Stars, so it pairs with hunting for famous names in the sidewalk.

Pizza and spaghetti in a colorful room, and the kids' menu runs from bacon and eggs to pasta.

A splash pad with a water feature modelled on the Tahquitz Canyon waterfall, steps from the giant Marilyn statue, so it fits between lunch and the museum.

Shakes, malts and floats, including a date shake, and some come with a mini donut on the straw.

The tribe's own museum, with family activity days and an ethnobotany camp for kids, so a canyon hike afterwards means more.
