Family Fun at Rancho Las Palmas
As a result of a recent $35 million makeover, Rancho Las Palmas tops the charts for family fun in the desert. Splashtopia, its new 2-acre water complex, keeps families cool with aquatic delights for all ages. The only pool area of its kind in the desert, Splashtopia's highlights include a 425-foot lazy river, two 100-foot water slides, a cliffside Jacuzzi, expansive swimming pool, water soak zone and, for the youngest tykes, a sandy beach. After working up an appetite, families can refuel at the remodeled Splash Grill. In June, Splashtopia will team up with sister property La Costa Resort and Spa's SplashLanding (San Diego, Calif.) for an exciting summer water slide race promotion. Guests can check for more information on the promotion and prizes at www.rancholaspalmas.com.
When parents need some time alone, there's Kidtopia, a supervised kids camp designed for children ages 4-12 years. Whether its crafts or fun and games, children will enjoy day and evening programs where they can frolic away from the watchful eyes of their parents. For teens, there are wellness activities at Spa Las Palmas and a game room complete with billiards, Wii, foosball, air hockey, dance-dance revolution, computers and more. Golf and tennis clinics and camps add to the family fun. For the more serious young golfer, the course has a set of junior tees and, after 11 a.m. each day, kids 12 and under golf free with a paying adult.
During down time, families enjoy spacious and newly renovated guest rooms with private patios and kid-friendly dining options. The Palms Café is great for on-the-go snacks and bluEmber restaurant features an extensive children's menu and where kids eat free for breakfast thanks to the Family Fun Passport. Weekend evenings Splashtopia's pool-side café turns into a festive Mexican cantina and provides an ideal opportunity for families to dine together in the casual outdoor setting. Families can have dinner together by the pool, then stay and enjoy a "dive-in" movie in the warmth of a desert night.
