Events and Rentals
Birthday Parties
The Desert is a perfect place for an utterly unique birthday party. Kids can run, climb, and play in a place that is engaging, fun, and big enough to contain their energy!
Adults can relax knowing that the property is designed for kids and well-contained.
Private Events
