McDonald’s PlayPlace

If you’re driving through on the 111 and the kids are losing their minds in the backseat, this is your bailout plan. It’s a standard McDonald’s PlayPlace — nothing fancy, but it does the job when you need a few minutes of peace with your fries. Palm Desert heat is no joke, so the fact that it’s indoors makes a real difference out here. Locals know it as a reliable pit stop, especially on road trips between Indio and Palm Springs.
