Very kind and knowledgeable individuals. Thank you for being there. We appreciate the maps and information during these not normal days!

A charming visitor center with a lovely ambience. The employees were very friendly and helpful. On Hwy 111 on the corner of the Tram Road turnoff. The view from the Visitor is Mt. San Jacinto. Near by was a Desert X installation. The next Desert X will be in 2021. This year’s exhibits, located throughout the Coachella Valley region, were fascinating!

Great time in Palm Springs. The visitors center is an icon a landmark. The people working there are super friendly and really helpful.

Closed Till Further Notice...thats what the sign read as I pulled up to the locked gates at The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway in the beautiful desert community of Palm Springs,California.Located near the Palm Springs Visitors Center the famous tramway has been taking visitors,families,hikers and friends to the top of mountain station and San Jacinto State Forrest since 1963!Covid safety closure was the focus of the Tramway and we are all greatful for it!The courteous security personnel shared that while the PS Tramway is closed they were also working on improvements and construction to make it an evan better experience! It looks like we have a lot to look forward to once everything is completed and safe again-cant wait!Evan though the Tram is on hold be sure to stop into the Palm Springs Visitors center nearby for information and souvenirs of your trip!....#palmspringsaerialtramway #covid #palmsprings #visitpalmsprings #tramway #californiadreamin #californiadreaming #instapalmsprings #palmspringsvisitorcenter #ilovepalmsprings #waynesalvatti #ridethetram #familyfun #goodtimes #hwy111 #palmcanyondrive #desert #socal #sunsout #desertarts #palmspringsart #hottownsummerinthecity

The people there were very helpful with lots of info!

I felt the staff went above and beyond accommodating my grandfather who recently suffered a stroke. Made him feel calm and comfortable with taking the tram ride. And they were working on the 4th of July, missing time with their own families to accommodate ours!!!!

A great place to get all of the brochures that you need for local Palm Springs attractions. You can even purchase discounted tickets to some of the attractions other than the Tramway ride, which much br purchased at the Tramway station. Parking at the station is $8.00. No free parking at the Tramway, but parking is free at the Visitors Center 4 miles away.

Plenty of information, local maps help navigate Palm Springs streets.

Formerly a fuel service station, this is a great place to get your bearings, ideas for things to do in and around Palm springs, and even discount tickets for a couple of attractions.

Very helpful staff lots of free info to take away-in a historical building!

Awesome place to visit...

Great getaway. Good things to do. Shopping options and recreation family oriented. Quiet safe place to chill.Highly recommend!!!

Very helpful staff, wouldnt have known about the cute Pioneer Town between Palm Springs and Joshua Tree Park if they didnt tell me. Also - check out the Desert X installation behind the center. Follow @lusolondon for more pics

A great place to stop as you first come into town. The desert view is amazing here and the view of the mountains is the best in the world. The old mid century modern design historic building is very hip and many people park here and go walking up the tram road. I used my GPS wi-fi video drone camera to get pictures of the area from 300 ft up.

Stop here for great information on the area. Really cool Desert Modernism gifts to purchase. Information for local outdoor activities such as Tahquitz Canyon. Great place to start your visit. Noticed that theres a Palm Springs app...wished I had tried that while there. Got information regarding art festival here, which was outstanding.

Great place to find out local info and hot spots, get ideas to what to see in PS, brochures and dont forget about discount tickets to a variety of attractions including the Zoo!...Or just fix your road or Mtn bike with their outdoor Fix-it stand!

Very nice place! I love they are still using the old center from the 40s-50s. I grew up here so coming back and taking a little walk up to the Palm Springs sign was fun. They have a nice selection of merchandise and lots of free maps.

Beautiful architect, right at the entrance of the city.

The building was cool, but I wish they had more items to buy. I’m still in search of the perfect Palm Springs T-Shirt.

Nice place the road leads up to the tram and incase you have an electric car they have charging stations as well

Stop by prior to going up the mountain on the aerial tramway. Folks inside are friendly and helpful. Nice clean restrooms outside of visitor center. EVgo charging for electric cars. Visitor Center building is a great piece of architecture.

We were just stopping by on our way to Joshua tree and they gave us some great tips for things to do in town. The souvenirs were well priced too so we pick up a few magnets and key rings

Always clean bright and friendly helpful suggestions!

The guy that answered the phone was very rude and laughed when I asked a question and then when was told that it wasn’t a reason to laugh he hung up on me clearly doesn’t know anything about customer service/ help. Return the call and answered the phone and didn’t say anything very disappointed of you don’t like your job quite!!

Nice visitor center. Mid century building. Nice books and souvenirs

You can find a good selection of postcards. But I was looking for more information regarding La Quinta.

The must first stop when you are in a Desert. Very friendly helpful employees who are locals and some born and raised in an area. Nice souvenirs for visitors, quite reasonably priced.

We went here for the tram, Desert X, and to take pictures of the buildings incredible mid century modern architecture. Plus the views!

Great way to start your stay in the Palm Springs area. If youe are vacationing or staying for the winter away from home. They have the information you need to see and do in this great low desert community. Very friendly staff to assist you with any questions you have.

Very friendly wonderful people. They are well informed about anything you need to know in The Valley. They can help you locate and price just about anything anywhere. These people really know how to smile and made our visit very pleasant. Its really great when people appreciate you stopping by.

Palm springs is fantastic, visitors centre is great for ideas but dont buy anything there. Look around downtown for souvenirs, and rancho mirage for higher end shops.

It is a convenient place to stop pick up some brochures look at the beautiful mountains take some photos use the restroom

Great place to START your Palm Springs Experience, art, culture, history.A mid century experience, homes, villas, vacation homes of the Hollywood Stars of the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s to the present day.Advanced Medicine, at the EisenhowerMedical Center, College of the desert, they have a great flea market. The whole area is packed with antiques, art, and much, much, more..Check out used stores called Revival, used high end stuff from the past...

Always a pleasure to stop by the Palm Springs Visitor center. Friendly,helpful staff and a great variety of products to choose from. Always when I stopped here Ive found the restroom facilities clean and tidy.

A beautiful living residence

An almost necessary first stop if youve never been here. Friendly guides will point out must-see locations and orient you to the area. They have a video presentation and nice display of local items and points of interest.Nice spot just down the road from the tram

Really a great info center for the area. Early morn parking for enjoyable walksin the cool air. Location is great, at the base of Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Home of excellent sightseeing,walks,food. Yes the visitor center is a great venue and location in Pslm Springs

Designed by Albert Frey and Robson Chambers.Conceived by developer Culver Nichols as an entry statement to Palm Springs, the roof is a hyperbolic paraboloid of steel I-beams and corrugated metal roofing supported by steel tubular pillars. Albert Frey was consulted in its 1998-1999 adaptive reuse as a sculpture gallery.This property has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.

Helped us navigate downtown Palm Springs since the tram had a 4 hour wait, glad we all went in town. My boys enjoyed the local culture

Helpful staff. Pointed out main attractions. Marked them all on a map for us. Sells some discount coupons.What more do you want?Oh, yeah public bathrooms, too.

Small little place of the main road that eventually leads to the real attraction, the sky team. The people inside were very helpful in answering out questions regarding local hiking trails and the wild life. And as the sign outside says (which a few people missed) they dont sell tickets to the tram there, you need to go further in.

Just the place if youre looking for Palm Springs souvenirs, which are, strangely, difficult to find downtown. Interesting vintage postcards (not reproductions), too. Friendly staff running the place. Historic building, but perhaps its been too renovated. Id have been tempted to keep the gas station, look, out front.

Good place to stop to get all info you need around the placeVery nice staffClean place

Very helpful in finding something to do when roads to major destinations had been washed out

Weve always missed stopping here on our many trips to Palm Springs! So happy we finally went in! Bought a few vintage post cards and the cutest Roadrunner refrigerator magnet!

Great people always there with a friendly smile.

Guys not friendly. Not over eager to give out information if you dont ask the right questions. In person or on the phone didnt seem helpful. Some local flyers. Small gift shop, but didnt buy anything.

They have post cards and an EV fast charger. They could use a cafe and about 11 more fast chargers.

Good drive over how neet is this place what fun what we needed to see the area

Great place to check out if your new to the area or to stop after the tram ride

Its a beautiful place, I love it. The tram way is really impressive.

Very helpful

Friendly staff. Nice gift shop. Had lots of free leaflet

It had restrooms outside so that you can still use them if its closed. The building was beautiful and the staff was super friendly. They had lots if information so that anyone could find something to do or somewhere to stay. I dont think Ive ever visited a Visitor Center before but Ill be looking for them now.

The employee I spoke with was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond what my expectations!!! Great information!

Loved the art installation.

Good place to get info and resnoably priced gifts... Great views.

Very informative, nice views, shop was nice as well.

You have to stop by, the people are friendly and give you great advice.

Friendly staff, excellent customer service care.

Love love love !! Stop by the visitors center and the ride the Palm springs tram 9000 feet above the street level almost vertically thru the mountain on of the most breathtaking adventures Ive ever taken this amazing one of a kind tram is the only kind in this side of the hemisphere

Today, we drove from DHS to the visitor center to pick up some advertising material of local businesses we can recommend highly due to our own experiences visiting the area for a decade now. We took 3 prints each of 11 restaurants and tours offered for our newly bought own VRBO property in the area. We got approached by an obviously upset employee, he immediately violated my social space by literally being face to face with me and loudly addressed that I make sure not to take too much. They have a hard time to get those and if everyone that has a short term rental property would behave that badly they would run out if it. Excuse me, until today I thought its the purpose of visitor centers to distribute material to attract more people. First time in my long Globetrotter life that I felt expelled from a visitor center.I would hope everyone who has the opportunity to invite guests to the area takes advantage of those wonderful printed materials.

Unimpressive, the people were not very nice nor helpful. Maybe it was a bad day, maybe they dont care for POC. Id skip it.

Great information about hikes and other activities.

Very clean staff very knowledgeable and helpful not only with directions weather and places stay on our route

Good information before hitting the Tram. People say you can get good information and use the bathroom here.

Nice and very kind attention. Stunning views.

Albert Frey and Robson Chambers Magic.Adaptive reuse of what was once a gas station from 50s Americana. A little mod, a little jet age, but full of such history. Stop and enjoy.

Nice view of mount San Jacinto from here. to bad the tram was closed. I was on the website and it mentioned nothing about closure so we drove the from Thousand Oaks to go to the tram and it was closed.

Nice, clean facility with very knowledgeable people giving great advice about what to do and where to go in the greater Palm Springs area. Wide range of fliers in multiple languages. Also nice logo clothing. Ask about the self tour maps. $5 a piece.

Cute little gift shop and nice friendly folks

A beautiful mid-century modern building at the base of the Palm Springs aerial Tramway. You wont find friendlier or more knowledgeable people who can guide you to the best and most popular attractions in the valley. Stop in on your way into town and grab a map of the area. Its free!

Great place for local information; plus many offers and discounts from local merchants. Lots of Palm Springs memorabilia, history, and photo books. Great staff. Fantastic building too.

A place to visit when interested in mid-century architecture. The building which used to be a gas station was designed by Albert Frey.

Friendly staff. On the road to the cable car with great washroom wing off the parking lot (as a former gas station? Lol.) Sells maps (desert modern architecture map super helpful) and some cute souvenirs (same are available downtown, and a better selection.) Not sure why I thought there would be exhibits, but, no.

Beautiful place to let your children relax and realize reality

I stopped by here a few times on my way visiting friends. I have only seen the outside and peeked in thru the windows, since it was closed each time. I used the bathrooms, it was neat and clean, but OMG, the scenery in t his area is amazing. The mountains, the howling of the winds, breathtaking majestic nature. There is an art installation now, next to it, with a Smoking Flag, it was amazing to experience. Also ran into some pretty yellow spring flowers, outside, sage, and rock art by passers by. Loved it, gotta stop by for a minute, if you are not in a hurry

This is a really handy and conveniently located visitors center. Along with answers for every question and helpful information about the Palm Springs area, they have cute items for sale at very reasonable prices, in case you need souvenirs or gifts. The gentleman that works on site is super friendly and has lived in the area for 20 years. He made me feel very welcome.

Nice to visit. Loads of info

Great place to stop and get more information. Also great photo op to take a picture with the palm springs sign.

Simple and informative, they sell Mid-Century Modern Architecture Tour Maps for $5

Great place to obtain info....staff are knowable and quick to help

Real nice place. Plenty of brochures and gifts and employees to answer any questions you may have.

Good place to get your car charged

Well located, well informed and helpful staff. Enjoyed our time here

Very helpful people and lots of good information about the area!

Grat place to stop before getting into town for local event info or to get souvenirs.

Purchased post cards and t-shirt. The folks were kind.

Very informative visit. Great professionals on staff from the national park service. Got to chat a bit. I suppose theyre furloughed now.

The bathrooms are useful. The building is a cool reuse. Handicap parking is a bit of a walk.

Pretty good info but the agent should have been writing down all the things she was telling us or at least slowing down to let us write it down. How are visitors expected to retain all this new info in their heads.

The people were friendly and helpful, we found some new places to visit for next time.

We went in to ask about hiking with our dog. The guy was mean...basically said we had done one of the two hikes already. Good luck? We ended up hiking with her every day. Found some on line and just looking around. Some are restricted due to the big horn sheep. Have fun with your dog! We did.

Oh this is such a great place to hike free parking til 7 and watch out for tarantulas scorpions and coyotes ..sidenote I rarely see tarantulas or coyotes here.

Oh m to goodness.Im moving to the area.Hands down beautiful.

Clean and organized. Helpful staff.

Was helped by a lovely lady who gave us some tips about where we could have lunch

Nice place to get a jump on your visit to Palm Springs.

This place was friendly and iconic. Worth the stop and only place to get tickets for the tram.

The awesome mid century gas station is impossible to miss on your way into town or up the tram and is with a quick stop just to check it out. The visitors center was pretty standard, but the employees were very helpful and very friendly.
