You will need your own car on this tour which you will be guided along with an audio program and marked destinations throughout the first commercial wind farm in Southern Calfornia. Once booked, we send you an email confirmation along with an App download and instructions. The tour starts with a display yard of non-operating wind turbines of successes and failures, along with a stop to a real generating wind turbine where you can get up close and take pictures. The tour ends with a stop at the Indigo Power Plant and retired wind farm. There you can exit on 19th Avenue to Indian Canyon Road and leave with more knowledge about renewable energy! The tour takes approximately one hour depending on your pace. We ask that you respect others by not gathering at the marked destinations. Please allow cars ahead of you to finish their exploration before your turn. One booking, includes two adults.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to join this tour?

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but younger kids might get bored since it's mostly an audio-guided experience. I'd say it's best for ages 10 and up who can appreciate the details about renewable energy. Also, make sure they can sit in the car for about an hour!

Q: What should we wear for the Palm Springs Windmill Tour?

A: Comfortable clothes! It can get pretty hot out there, so I suggest lightweight and breathable fabrics. Don’t forget a hat and sunscreen, especially if you're stopping to take pictures in the sun. Also, comfy shoes are a must for walking around the display yard!

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just make sure to contact them at least 48 hours in advance. They’re pretty flexible, which is great for unexpected plans. Once you reach out, they’ll guide you on how to pick a new date.

Just did the Palm Springs Windmill Tour and loved it!

I recently took the Palm Springs Windmill Tour and it was such a unique experience! The audio guide was super informative, especially about the history of wind power in California. Getting up close to the turbines was really cool, and we had a blast taking pictures at the Indigo Power Plant. It's a perfect gift for anyone interested in renewable energy. Just remember to bring sunscreen—it gets hot out there!
