This tour was fantastic - extremely educational and the staff were warm and friendly. Highly recommend!
Thank you for joining us!
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.
Thank you again for going us!
Wasn’t sure if I wanted to do the golf cart tour or the less expensive self guided. We chose the self guided and were perfectly happy. The gentleman that worked there also gave us a great intro prior to starting the driving tour.
Thank you so much for joining us and glad you choose the right tour for you :)
Great tour to learn about some green energy history. Self guided though the app so you can go at your own pace. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Hold on to your hat because it will try to fly away.
Thanks for sharing your experience. And yes the tour includes a free hair blow out :)
Honestly such an incredible tour! We opted for the VIP tour and it was fascinating. Learned a lot and our guide Tom was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions (of which we had many!). Would recommend to anyone who’s visiting nearby.
Thanks for joining us! We truly enjoy what we do.
Staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Learned a lot. Highly suggest going back at sunset for pictures from across the highway-they were amazing photos. The self guided tour was well worth the cost.
Thank you Kathy! We truly appreciate you joining us
Great tour great price! Love being able to drive yourself with air conditioning since it was 107. Nice audio app to follow
Thank you for joining us on this hot day :)
I would highly recommend this tour if you are in the palm springs area. I am from the midwest and we have wind farms like this. I have never been able to see one up close though. It made you really appreciate them when you were looking up at them. I would suggest doing the golf cart tour. We learned alot from the tour guide. He was very knowledgeable.
Thank you for joining us all the way from the midwest :)
We went as a photography visit. It was well organized, and we learned a lot about windmills the video before the trip was good.
Thanks for joining us!
A unique experience, to be sure. After checking in and paying at the reception trailer, we watched a semi-interesting video detailing various facets of the wind farm and wind industry. You then download an app that provides audio explaining the things you see as you drive around the property in your own vehicle. It's interesting to see historical windmill blades and hear about various windmills that are currently operating. Not overwhelmingly interesting, but still decent. It's a bit expensive (about $28 per adult). If you're looking for something out of the ordinary while you're in the Coachella Valley, this tour is it.
Thanks for joining us!
