Windmill Tours

A guided or self-driving visit to a private North Palm Springs wind farm, focused on the valley's wind-energy history and engineering.

Guided and self-driving visits both begin at the Tour Center before entering the private wind farm. Reserve the format you want, follow any route updates in the booking confirmation, and dress for an exposed site that may be hot or very windy.

Why it made the guide

The tour adds context to the turbines visible across the northern valley and takes about two hours. Favor cooler, calmer conditions at the exposed site.
