Palm Springs Visitor Center

Designed by Albert Frey in 1965, this gas station-turned-visitor center is a true desert icon, its signature hyperbolic paraboloid roofline dramatically tilting skyward, beckoning out to all who pass by. Inside, you’ll find a plethora of historical information, as well as souvenirs, postcards, maps and desert-inspired trinkets. Be sure not to miss the Palm Springs signage situated just north of the center, It’s an ideal spot for photo ops.
