Description
The city is steeped in a rare blend of cultural experiences, recreational activities, and high-end amenities, making it a prime lifestyle destination and a thriving hub of entertainment and leisure. It’s also a great community for raising a family, and is home to world-class healthcare facilities like the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center. Kids will be inspired to learn at the Tolerance Education Center and the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert, and Rancho Mirage Observatory features stargazing events to learn about the universe.
Additionally, the Rancho Mirage Amphitheater is a state-of-the-art venue hosting special music events, art festivals, Broadway productions and more. But Rancho Mirage also plays an important global geopolitical role, and has been dubbed the “Camp David of the West.” The Sunnylands Estate in Rancho Mirage convenes national and international leaders to promote world peace and facilitate international cooperation. The Sunnylands Gardens and Visitor Center, open to everyone, is home to nine acres of gardens and more than 70 species of desert-adapted plants that are native to the Americas, Africa, and the Mediterranean.
Rancho Mirage is also a major player when it comes to the world of golf. The Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort golf courses – with its six lakes, undulating fairways lined with palm trees, and dramatic mountain vistas is just one example. The nearby Westin Mission Hills Resort golf course was designed by Pete Dye, and its address on Dinah Shore drive is a reminder that Rancho Mirage also has a vibrant history of attracting celebrities. Ginger Rogers was born here, and Bing Crosby and Lucille Ball – among other luminaries – also called Rancho Mirage home.
