Thorn Tree Grill Reviews
This was a fun family outing. Plenty of animals to see (up close) and lots of informative displays. The volunteers are full of great information. A lot of walking to get around but ample bathrooms, concessions and water stations along the way. Free parking and reasonable entrance fee. The animals all look well cared for in spacious pens.
The living desert and zoo are well laid out with lots of places to top up water bottles. There is ample car parking and the model railway is superb. If you are in Palm Springs this an inexpensive thoroughly enjoyable day out.

We enjoyed seeing a wide variety of animals and learning how the natural climate zones of many of the animals are similar to that of the Southern California desert. We understand we were here in the off season, but it would have been nice to have encountered a few more zoo staff or volunteers for information along the way.
