The Agua Caliente Cultural Museum is the official museum of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, housed in a striking 48,000 sq. ft. facility in downtown Palm Springs. The museum tells the story of the Cahuilla people through immersive exhibits, artifacts, and a 360-degree introductory film.
The entire facility is ADA compliant, with accessible entrances, elevators, restrooms, and wheelchair-accessible exhibit areas. Two complimentary wheelchairs and one walker are available at the Welcome Desk on a first-come, first-served basis; guests needing a wheelchair from the parking lot can call upon arrival for assistance. All videos in the museum are captioned for deaf and hard-of-hearing visitors.
Accessible parking is available in the museum lot north of the building, with free covered parking also available at the nearby Agua Caliente Casino.
Visitors describe the museum as highly accessible with wide hallways and well-designed gallery flow. Plan 1–2 hours. The immersive first room with 360-degree animation is the highlight for most visitors. The outdoor Oasis Trail and Education Garden are free to access without museum admission. Visitors note handicapped parking spots fill quickly — arrive early or use nearby downtown parking.
