Welcome to Cabazon, gateway to Greater Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley! Located inside the world-famous Cabazon Outlets is Riverside County’s only California Welcome Center. Just 25 minutes to downtown Palm Springs and the Inland Empire. Cabazon Outlets is an open-air specialty retail outlet center, with 18 brand-name stores and 30–70 percent off retail prices daily. Cabazon Outlets is easily accessible to all Southern California visitors and is conveniently located off I-10.
Try your luck at Morongo Casino Resort and Spa, just half a mile east of the Center. This 4-star resort boasts Vegas-style gaming, restaurants for every taste, and entertainment for the whole family. If you’re just around for an afternoon (or evening) but need some cooling off, grab a day pass to enjoy the massive pool, or pay a little extra for deluxe experiences like a beach experience, a “lazy river” innertube float, or a nighttime pool party complete with a DJ.
Also nearby is Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon, where you can enjoy championship-style golf on two expertly designed courses, and Tahquitz Canyon, part of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indian Reservation, that’s home to culturally sensitive historic points of interest such as rock art and ancient irrigation systems, as well as native plants, wildlife, and a 60-foot waterfall.
Step back in time and visit the world-famous Cabazon Dinosaurs, a family favorite since 1975. Creation of Dinny the dino began in 1964 by Claude Bell using leftover materials salvaged from the construction of adjacent Interstate 10. Mr. Rex was started in 1981 and completed in 1986. The attraction has been featured across pop culture, in movies like Pee Wee’s Big Adventure and music videos like Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.”
