Visit the Integratrons website to fully understand what it is all about; it has an interesting history. If you are adventurous, book a 'sound bath." They are usually booked solid, so if you are considering a sound bath here, book as early as possible.

Food scene
A quirky high desert must visit restaurant. Delicious food, drinks and nightly music around the pool. Tour the onsite garden while there and see just how fresh the salads are.
One of my favorite days is driving through the Park to the North exit, having lunch at the 29 Palms Inn, visiting the historic school house and the 29 Palms Art Gallery (all in walking distance) and driving back to the Quails Nest via the Park.

The famous and incredibly popular Pappy & Harriet's is a must visit restaurant/saloon. The food does not disappoint and the drinks are great. You can walk off the food (and sober up a bit) with a stroll through the adjacent western town/shops. There is usually a wait on the weekends, but you can wait in the bar and soak up the abundant atmosphere.

Photo Opportunities
Worth the short drive for the quirky desert photo opportunity. (Especially if you have lunch at the 29 Palms Inn first.) Are you brave enough to actually use the "glass outhouse?"
