Sunnylands Center & Gardens

The public Center & Gardens of the Annenberg estate in Rancho Mirage: desert gardens with walking paths, a visitor center, and a West Gardens performance circle used for free community programs. The Center & Gardens are open Wednesday through Sunday, 8:30 am to 4 pm (closed for a summer hiatus until September 9). Sunnylands' event pages state that parking and admission to the Center & Gardens are free and reservations are not required; ticketed tours of the historic house ($58.19) and Open-Air Experience ($30.11) are sold online only, with sales opening on the 15th of each month. Free family-friendly programs this season include an accessible bird walk, Coachella Valley Days of Los Muertos (Nov 4-8) and dance and aerial performances in the gardens.

What was checked & what still needs confirmation

Free admission wording comes from the Days of Los Muertos and Art Flying Aerial event pages ('Free parking and admission'); the visit page itself lists tour prices without a general-admission line. No phone printed.
