Excellent tour of the giant windmills seen off of the freeway - We have always seen the giant windmills off of I-10 near Palm Springs. Have always been curious about them. Today we got to see them up and in person. The tour starts with a 15-20 minute video about the windmill farm and the inner workings of the windmills. Bill was our tour guide and took us on a golf cart tour of the property. Was very informative and everything we could have hoped for in a tour. We also got to talk to a scientist (doctor) on property. Total length of tour was about 1.5-2 hours.

Sun, Wind & A Fun Ride - The history along with seeing early windmills and being up close to these giant structures is fantastic. The guide was knowledgeable & fun. Photo ops so I can share my experience. A comfortable golf cart. With all of the windmills in the Palm Springs, why not learn more about them.

Surprising hit! - The tour was really interesting, but what made it extra-special was Tom the guide. His knowledge & passion was evident. The extra stories & human interest tidbits made it a unique & fun tour.

A Must in Palm Springs. - Tom’s passion got us excited about the history and functionality of this Palm Springs landmark. The windmills had always been a mystery to me since I was a small child, passing them on frequent trips to the desert with my grandparents. Finally learning how the wind turbines work - and how important they are to our everyday lives in ways many people take for granted - was fascinating. It’s an experience I won’t forget and one I’d recommend to everyone visiting the area.
