Your Guide for Things To Do in Palm Springs With a Baby

Palm Springs is a relaxing desert escape with plenty to offer for the whole family. From lounging poolside to exploring downtown, it’s the perfect weekend getaway, even with a baby in tow. While you’ll want to be mindful that it can get hot in Palm Springs, there are plenty of things to do inside with your baby, too. As you plan to travel with your baby, you’ll want to think of everything that will help your outing go smoother—every experience can be made easier and more enjoyable with the proper support.

Fun Things To Do With a Baby in Palm Springs

Below we'll dive into a few activities that are perfect for families, made even better with Tushbaby by your side.

Moorten Botanical Garden and Cactarium

Soak up the glorious Palm Springs weather and pose with picture-perfect backgrounds at the Moorten Botanical Garden and Cactarium. Established in 1938, this attraction was created to share the beauty of desert plants and nature. Admission is free for children under 5, but if you’d like a guided tour, booking ahead of time is best. The Moorten Botanical Garden and Cactarium takes about an hour to walk through, and while that doesn’t sound like a lot of time, carrying your baby without support from a carrier can take a toll on your body.

Bring the Tushbaby along to support you and your little one as you enjoy the fresh smells and peaceful environment of the gardens. Tushbaby is a multifunctional hip seat baby carrier that evolves with your and your child’s changing needs from birth through toddlerhood. It wraps high and tight above the waist and features built-in lumbar support for the wearer and a plush memory foam-lined seat for baby. With four carry positions, you can bond, soothe, and interact with your baby as you stroll the garden, or take in your surroundings from a nearby seat as you use the Tushbaby for feeding support.

The peaceful vibe of the garden can be the perfect setting for a nap; pair The Snug with Tushbaby for hands-free babywearing, with baby facing in or out The Snug is a wrap-style attachment made for Tushbaby that offers two hands-free carry positions for babies 12-45lbs. The Snug folds up to store in Tushbaby’s under-seat pocket, so you can go from hipseat to hands-free in a snap—it’s the ultimate convertible carrier. With the ability to serve as your all-in-one nursing pillow, convertible carrier, and cheeky diaper bag, Tushbaby truly does it all—so you can cross the rest of those items off your packing list before heading to the botanical garden.

Palm Springs Art Museum

Palm Springs is known for its art culture and community, so visiting the Palm Springs Art Museum is highly recommended. The museum is a cultural and educational leader in the community with extraordinary exhibitions.

Bring your baby along for a magical day gazing at breathtaking art and learning about art history. As you get lost in the exhibits, you’ll want to keep your things and your baby close. Tushbaby’s five storage pockets will help you do just that. With room for diapers, wipes, snacks, a bottle, toys, and your personal items, Tushbaby keeps everything you need right on your hip while helping you carry your little one more comfortably. Point out colors and shapes with your baby in the face-to-face, front-facing, and side-carrying positions, and watch that little brain learn.

Even when baby’s not in tow, Tushbaby’s got you covered. It helps to travel light in the Palm Springs weather, so step out with The Pack to keep your essentials close and your hands free. The Pack can be worn around your waist or crossbody, and comes in a range of colors and fabrics to complement your casualwear or elevate athleisure. The Pack can also be used for added storage when babywearing with your Tushbaby—see you never, diaper bag.

Downtown Park

Located near the Palm Springs Art Museum is the Downtown Park, which is a great place to stop for a lunch picnic, afternoon sunshine, or a concert in the park. Pack our sleek vegan leather Totebaby with all the essentials, like a picnic blanket, jacket, snacks, diapers, wipes, or even items you’ve purchased throughout your day. The Totebaby is soon to be your new bag of tricks: use it as a diaper tote, yoga bag, sustainable grocery bag, you name it! It even comes stocked with removable features like an organizer, changing pad, extra crossbody strap, and divider pocket—perfectly designed to store a Tushbaby. For the finishing touch, attach our chic clip-on pouch, The Pod, to keep a paci or petite essentials clean and readily available while enjoying the park’s surroundings.

Joshua Tree National Park

For our outdoor enthusiasts, Joshua Tree might be the attraction that brought you to Palm Springs. Joshua Tree National Park is one of the most distinctive parks in the United States, attracting millions of visitors each year. With so much to explore, you’ll want to come well-prepared if you’re bringing a baby.

Hiking is a popular thing to do with a baby at Joshua Tree National Park, but most of the trails are not stroller-friendly. A supportive baby carrier for active parents is a must, and with Tushbaby and The Snug, it’s like bringing two carriers in one! With four versatile carry positions, Tushbaby ensures you’ll both be comfortable as you explore Joshua Tree National Park. Support your little one as they interact with you and their surroundings in the face-to-face, forward-facing, and side-carrying positions.

For hands-free babywearing, keep The Snug stowed in the under-seat pocket of the Tushbaby to transform Tushbaby into a hands-free baby carrier. But don’t forget to put baby down gently so that you can safely attach The Snug to The Tushbaby before placing baby back on the hip seat.

Tushbaby makes traveling to Palm Springs with a baby easier, helping you navigate crowded spots, feed your little one away from home, and stick to their routine without a hitch—all while stashing their stuff and carrying them more comfortably. The Tushbaby is our best-selling supportive hip seat carrier featuring four carrying positions and five storage pockets. Carry your baby face-to-face, forward-facing, on your side, or utilize the feeding position for breast or bottle-feeding support. Just wrap the Tushbaby high and tight above your waist, velcro the waistband, secure the buckle, and place your baby on the plush hip seat while supporting them with one arm. Stash The Snug in Tushbaby’s under-seat storage pocket for when you need to go hands-free, and you’re ready for babywearing and bonding as you explore Palm Springs with your baby. Available in a range of high-quality fabrics, colors, and patterns, Tushbaby and our range of multifunctional products give parents the ability to complement their style and customize the way they carry their kids.
