“Great place to take your kids. Ours a fun place for them to learn about science and other naturally occurring things. They have a mean science show which is great. It does not take more than 30 minutes to get thru the whole place but of your kids love something they can spend hours.”

“Must visit when you are here at the Desert Hot Springs! Amazing construction and wonderful artist. I was surprised he was studying in Paris with some very famous artists. Love this place. Thank you for keeping it safe”

1491 E 2nd St, Beaumont, CA 92223, United States

“The seats are very plush, comfortable and recline like a La-Z-boy recliner. The decor is modern and sleek. The popcorn was okay. There was nothing fancy on the menu. It just had the typical movie theater food options. I did not try anything because, meh, so I can't comment on it. I would've liked the volume in the theater to be a little higher (i don't like hearing another movie when I'm watching my own) but I know that's a personal preference. Overall, a great addition to the city of Beaumont!”

69028-B E Palm Canyon Dr, Cathedral City, CA 92234, United States

“The Museum of Ancient Wonders in Cathedral City is a very pleasant surprise! The Palm Springs area has a variety of interesting museums. Modern art, in particular is very well represented from museum galleries to salesrooms of the area's numerous consignment stores. But the Museum of Ancient Wonders takes a different and valuable approach by looking at the human experience in the context of the vast sweep of history spanning life on Earth. It blends natural history, art, and culture in a very effective and engaging way that local students and many members of the public have probably never encountered. The experience starts in a very unassuming way. You find the museum tucked into a storefront location in a strip mall. Leave any initial misgivings behind and proceed on in. The storefront, while small, is bigger than it looks from outside. Inside, you will find a subset of their collections put upon display. Other collections that they have may be on tour to other museums or have been rotated into storage. When we were there, the exhibits included "Paleo: The Story of Life" as told by a fascinating assemblage of fossils and fossil casts. These were arranged in chronological sequence, starting with stromatolites, progressing through well over 100 examples of ever more complicated forms including trilobites, early reptiles, dinosaurs, early mamals, early homonids, leading to us. Another exhibit, "Behind the Mask" presents a small, diverse collection of African masks, explaining how they reflect ancient African traditions and mysticism, and even have influenced modern art far from the masks' sites of origin. The exhibit "All Under Heaven: Earth, Heaven and the Afterlife" featured a spectacular collection of Asian statuary from across the ages. A final exhibit, "Starscape" surrounded the other exhibits with photographs on the wall showcasing images of multiple bodies in our Solar System, nebulae, and galaxies, putting the content of the other exhibits in a broader context of both time and space. It's a wonderful idea. The Paleo exhibit looked to be relatively permanent within the storefront venue. I'm guessing some of the other exhibits might rotate in and out as these and other collections they have tour other venues. The good news is that they are working on moving into a much larger venue in the area that will allow them to exhibit all of their collections. I hope that happens! But until then, check out the Museum of Ancient Wonders in their current Cathedral City location.”

5225 Canyon Crest Dr #23, Riverside, CA 92507, United States

“Pros: -if you need to charge your phone they allow you to do so -allows you to come during session even if 1 hr late -takes walk ins -allows snacks -they do the waiver for you -staff is very friendly Cons: -1 bathroom and it was locked (no one in there) -they do not accept cash (card only) -must buy their socks to enter. -no food to buy(seemed like as their display was empty however I didn't ask) All in all my 2 yr old was entirely entertained the 2 hours we were there. And if I was in the neighborhood again I'd return.so I recommend.”
