This is for all you Mid-Century Modern lovers out there. The Kaufmann name came from Edgar J. Kaufmann he was a Pittsburgh Department Store Tycoon. He wanted a retreat from the harsh winters back east. The Architect is Richard Neutra this is by far one of his famous works to date. He designed the house in 1946. There is no tours of this house. In fact it is private. You will see a no trespassing sign with armed alert. So whatever you do take pictures outside of the property. I cannot put other website links on this site. But do some research on this awesome house.

We visited around 12 PM 5/26/26 after driving almost two hours to hike at Tahquitz Falls and…read moreunfortunately the experience at the front desk completely changed the energy of the day before we even started the hike. When you first walk up there was a sign saying each person needs 40 oz of water We all had water bottles with us, including one 132 oz bottle, and we were simply asking about the water rule because we had visited before and never saw the 40 oz sign. Instead of explaining it politely, the older lady at the front desk immediately came off rude and dismissive. She questioned whether our bottle was actually full and said things like, "Do you not see the sign outside?" and "Are you not from the desert?" Not everyone is from the desert ,we drove a long way to visit and were genuinely just asking a question. After we paid $15 per person, my dad jokingly commented that the water rule was probably also a way to make money. It wasn't said aggressively or offensively at all , he's a sales manager, so his mind naturally thinks that way. But she completely snapped and told us we could get thrown out for saying that and that we needed to basically watch our mouths. The reaction felt extremely unnecessary and honestly like a power trip threatening to not be able to hike after we have already paid and for just making a comment about water . We fully understand there are rules and likely important safety reasons we had no push back behind the water policy, especially in the heat, but there's a huge difference between educating visitors respectfully and speaking to them with attitude. We walked in excited, smiling, and happy for the hike, and the interaction immediately ruined the vibes for all of us. The hike and land itself are beautiful and meaningful, which is why it's disappointing that this was our first impression. I don't think the people of the sacred land would want that kind of energy representing the experience for visitors coming for the first time. absolutely beautiful hike would go again other than the service.

This has been on our bucket list for years. Ever since seeing TV show host Anthony Bourdain visit,…read morewe've been fascinated by the Integratron and couldn't wait to experience a sound bath here. We finally went for my wife's birthday, so we came in really excited. First, the positives: the structure itself is incredible and the staff is genuinely kind. It's a family-run operation and you can feel that in a good way. But the actual experience? Rough. Within minutes of the sound bath starting, people were snoring. Not one person... a lot of people. Loudly. Full-on, out-cold snoring. The entire group of seniors next to us. Then the ladies on the other side of us. Add in constant fidgeting and movement, and it completely killed any chance of relaxing or getting immersed in the sound. It made it nearly impossible to relax or focus on the sound bath. The sound bath session itself felt surprisingly short, maybe 25 mins tops. It seemed like more time was spent waiting and going through instructions than actually experiencing the sound bath. The bowls were also not very loud, which made it even harder to tune out the distractions. In other sound baths we've attended, the instruments are more immersive, sometimes even amplified, which helps create a deeper experience. The final portion of the session transitioned into music played from an iPad, which felt a bit underwhelming and took away from the overall atmosphere. For the price (over $120 for two), it just didn't deliver. We left pretty disappointed after years of looking forward to it. Honestly, if you're someone who snores or can't stay still, this might not be the place for you because it really affects everyone else. And it would go a long way if staff actively managed that during the session. Cool place, great people, but not an experience we'd do again.

From La Quinta it's a good one hour + drive but definitely worth it! If your staying in Palm Springs proper or Joshua Tree much closer, regardless though worth it! Integratron essentially is a sound bath experience but in one of the coolest and best acoustic domes. I'll let the staff give you the history but it was very cool about learning how this place came to be and the intention behind it and land the dome sits on. This is a family owned business which makes it even more special. Three sisters own it and all of the family helps to run this space one way or another. On the day we came different cousins were sharing the duties. Love a local family run and operated space! Before starting the sound bath it's nice to explore the grounds, relax and they even have a gift shop. Nice bathrooms and plenty of parking. The system here is organized and seamless. Very great communication and guidance here. Make sure to pay attention to your emails before you come because they give great tips - like to bring blankets, dress in layers etc. As others have shared. The first 15-30 minutes is essentially going over rules, tips and history before they get started with the meditation/sound bath. I appreciate that they take everyone safety seriously and want everyone to have a joyful experience so they make sure to talk you through the do's and donts. The sound bath itself was relaxing and very soothing. The cushioned mats were premium and much nicer than I had remembered in the past. Very comfortable and nice temperature inside the dome. My only wish is that the sound bath piece was slightly longer but all in all it's a relaxing and unique experience. Would highly recommend that everyone come at least once.

You can tell because there's a large yellow banner over his windshield that says "BONSAI." He told us the ages of all the trees he has. Some are as old as 15 years old! You ever heard that Chinese proverb that says the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago (the second best time being now)? Well this guy heeded that advice. He planted all these little trees years ago and now finally getting some dividend! We bought two that are about 7 years old. The price is dependent on the age. He gave us a deal for getting more than one, albeit reluctantly. He asked my husband if he was oriental when I was out of earshot, and said I must've picked him because he looked Asian. (He's not, but he is perhaps correct about the other point.) I couldn't really understand his instructions for caring for them, other than "put rain on it." I'll have to Google actual instructions. But I'm really glad we picked up bonsai trees from this bonsai guy. I'll remember him for as long as I can keep our trees alive!

As you enter, you're asked to turn off your A/C for the short uphill drive to the visitor center, so be prepared because it gets hot. Parking was easy, with several lots available, and we were lucky enough to find a spot right in front of the visitor center. The visitor center itself is spacious and beautiful, with an outdoor deck where you can watch the tram travel up the mountain. Round-trip admission was about $35 with military discount, and the tram ride to the top took around 10 minutes. Once you arrive, the views are absolutely breathtaking. There are three levels to explore with restaurants, seating areas, exhibits, a theater, and access to hiking trails. This was such a fun experience, and I'd definitely come back. If you're visiting Palm Springs or exploring Southern California, I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary!

NEED TO KNOW: The shuttles from the parking lots to the…read moreaerial tram do not run the entire hours of operation. There is no signage, and we were not informed of this, so when we got back at 9pm (the top was open until 1030 this night), we waited (along with 2 other couples) for a while. I truly thought, as a tourist location, someone visiting their first time being dropped off in that spot - would assume you'd get picked up there as well. Only upon going back up and in and asking were we told this & that a security officer drives around and helps to take people to their car. My bf ended up walking down to grab the car. While I waited, I noticed a security officer leave the main building and walk to his truck and even though he saw me, didn't acknowledge me. Keep in mind, this is the same officer who was busy chatting to the front desk girl when we got off the tram and heading out. Sometime later, a security truck drove right by me and never stopped. I was a female alone & didn't even acknowledge me. Within a few minutes, my bf showed up and was telling me how he literally had 2 bobcats (1 small and 1 bigger) walk in the short distance by him at one point and then how dark it was when he left the top parking lot. Literally it was pitch black and we drove by the lot we were in. They do have solar panels connected to light fixtures, but apparently none of those work in any of the lower lots. You're literally in the mountains and the location is running still... why would they not have the shuttle running until closing? Why wouldn't they have lights set up for those expected to walk back to their cars anytime after sunset? Also, my bf told me he actually was in that security truck when it drove by as the guy did eventually pick him up in the dark but seemed irritated to actually work and had picked up 1 of the other couples - ignored the other and ignored me even though my bf had said that other couple was also walking to their car in the dark and that I was with him. The guy seemed mad and irritated and even kept making noises of frustration in the short time he was with him. Honestly, the above situation is what dropped my view down from 5 to 3. Just ridiculous. As for the location at the top, it's a cool spot to visit (even if you don't hike or plan to camp). There's a very quick "museum", a little shop, a bar, cafeteria style food area and a restaurant that we ate at. Those employees were all very nice and the food was good. Overall, I wouldn't be back though.
