We decided to visit Coachella Valley Museum yesterday after hoping to go for a while now…read more The grounds and exhibits are so great, only surpassed by the warm welcome by the docent volunteers. My husband, a stroke survivor walking with a wheeled walker, had no problem getting through to the entryway on the long paved path from the external gate on Miles Street. Inside, the exhibits are so interesting and the facility is bright and clean. We love Indio, so seeing the history of the city's populace enriched our understanding about life in early days. They have a beautiful shop which is now added to my list if cool places to obtain unique gift items. Parking is right across Miles on the corner, directly facing the big museum gate. A ramp connects the parking lot to the roadway. While the property is not a massive one, Coachella Valley Museum is a rich cultural walk through the olden days and you are still close to the downtown area and hidden foodie hangouts like Gabino's Creperie and the Friday Night Food Trucks or the sweet Farmers' Market.

Very long over due review but we had our daughters quinceanera here on 5/31/25 and this place was…read moreabsolutely perfect. The venue itself is breathtaking. Every one of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was. This is a family run business and you can tell every single family member puts their heart and soul into this business and it shows. They made the whole event seamless from the beginning. My big thing was I didn't want to have to worry about anything the day of the quince and this is exactly what I got. They took care of everything and once it was over it was as simple as gathering out belongings and leaving. They took care of everything and every little detail about this night was perfect. I highly recommend this venue for any indoor event.

Veronica and her team went above and beyond, to fulfill my daughter's winter wonderland dream. Everything was perfectly organized in every aspect.

An unforgettable night that will forever keep me feeling like it was a dream. Thank you so much.

If you are considering booking Old Polo Estate for your wedding - look no further and thank me…read morelater! This property is absolutely stunning and what truly sets it apart is that you get the entire place to yourselves for the weekend. At first, the investment might feel like a lot...but when you really think about it, most venues charge a significant amount for just 4-5 hours. At Old Polo, you have the option to turn your wedding into an entire weekend experience and that made all the difference for us. We booked three nights at Old Polo and we don't regret it for a second. We had our entire bridal party and family stay on the property, and it honestly felt like a wedding vacation (even though we live locally - it was the best "staycation" we've ever had). Instead of one quick blur of a day, we had a full weekend of memories, laughter, pool time, late-night chats, and quality time with the people we love most. It was the best time of our lives. The house itself is immaculate. It is beautifully maintained, incredibly comfortable, and perfect for a large party. Every detail feels thoughtful and elevated. Julie is amazing to work with. She is professional, organized, responsive, and genuinely cares about making sure you are happy. The entire team is on top of everything, which gives you so much peace of mind throughout the process. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a single thing. Old Polo Estate gave us not just a wedding day, but a wedding weekend we will cherish forever!

We had an entire wedding weekend of festivities and we got to utilize completely different parts of the property for every event. Friday, we had our welcome dinner on the front lawn under big, beautiful, mature trees. More than enough room for our 50 rehearsal dinner guests. Then the following day, we had our ceremony out on the sprawling lawn, cocktail hour around the pool and reception in the beach club event area. The last day we had a huge pool party for all of our friends. Can't tell you how many times I heard people say it was the best wedding they've ever been to and I believe it! Sidenote, I wish I would have listened to Assafs suggestion and rented a dumpster

Fantastic Pre-Season Soccer in Palm Desert…read more - - - - - - - - February, 2026 Visit We visited Palm Desert to see our St. Louis CITY Soccer Club (SC) play Austin in pre-season MLS soccer at the Coachella Valley Invitational Tournament, and we had a GREAT TIME!! The Coachella Valley Invitational Tournament is pre-season soccer for men (MLS) and women (NWSL), played at the Empire Polo Club in February each year. We have visited Palm Desert for many years, and have visited before and after the tournament the past couple years, but have missed attending; thankfully schedules aligned this year. After watching previous games on YouTube, this year we got to be there in person! The tournament's site offers some challenges on finding General Admission tickets; after some time we found that the Los Angeles Galaxy (LAG) were managing the tickets; a quick call with Miguel, who was very helpful, and we soon had our tickets in the app ready to be there for the soccer. Thanks, Miguel!! Parking for soccer was easy to find based on the online map and following the signs. For food, under the semi-permanent tent they have food trucks and an open bar. Here is little shade on the fields; some palm trees in the corners offer a place to cool off; otherwise if the skies are clear, the Palm Desert sun will provide copious doses of Vitamin D to lift your spirits. DJ Alf Alpha provided dance tubes all day and there were various soccer skills for fans to participate in. Even when the weather is not as nice as it was for us, this is still a great facility, with low humidity. Fun fact... the Salton Sea is the second lowest point in the US, after Badwater Basin / Death Valley; if I calculated correctly, the Empire Polo Club elevation is 5-20 feet. Thank you to everyone who makes the Coachella Valley Invitational possible! As Major League Soccer transitions its season to match the rest of the world, and to spread across two years, but no soccer in cold Jan/Fen nor hot July/Aug, we hope you'll continue the tournament as a mid-season break tourney. ----- ----- -----

The Polo Club is a big and varied place. They do actually have polo fields there. AND, they also…read morehave other areas. Today I was there for the soccer invitationals. I've been for others things. The dog show, for instance. It's a nice outdoor space. There are areas that are very rich in foliage and give plenty of shade. The staff has always been nice and helpful, from the parking people to the security and cashiers, I've never have anyone be ambivalent. Food is, well, epic expensive. If you plan to spend $30 on food and $10 on drinks, you can get by. Beer was not outrageous though, which was a surprise. I definitely recommend going. Parking has always been easy. Some events it's free parking, others it costs, so plan ahead.

The whole process from parking, entering, finding our seats, the initial performance and exiting went very smoothly. In fact, I found it much less stressful than the Hollywood Bowl. The entire staff were friendly, helpful and ready to clean up once the venue cleared. They have a few bars inside the concert area and another one in the lobby. *It was very clean when we arrived. However, when we left...another story. Our fellow music lovers were a little piggish. They left trash by their seats. Makes you wonder what their homes look like?! Hello???!!! No one appreciates a "Litterbug!" I would definitely recommend seeing any performance here. You can dine at any of the restaurants, gamble or sit out in the courtyard to hear some live music for free. *Check out their website for the entertainment schedule *Self Parking is free *Valet parking available for a fee
