Overview

The Palm Springs Windmill Self-Driving Tour with Audio Guide requires participants to use their own vehicle to follow a marked route through the first commercial wind farm in Southern California. Upon booking, an email confirmation is sent with instructions and a download link for the tour app, which includes an audio program to guide visitors and provide information at each stop. The tour begins at a display yard featuring non-operational wind turbines that show both successful and unsuccessful designs. Next, the route leads to an active wind turbine where visitors can stop, approach closely, and take photographs. The tour concludes at the Indigo Power Plant and retired wind farm area near 19th Avenue and Indian Canyon Road, where visitors can exit the tour. The entire tour lasts about one hour, depending on how long each stop is explored. The tour includes access to the Palm Springs Windmill Tour app and the audio guide. Visitors are asked to avoid gathering in groups at the stops and to wait for other vehicles to finish before starting their visit. Each booking covers two adults in one vehicle. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
