Some things you can do in Greater Palm Springs this weekend if you’re broke

The good news: it’s a three-day weekend! The bad news: the long, hot summer in the Coachella Valley has left you totally broke. No worries, you can save some dough and still have a good time.

Here are a couple of options:

Spend part of your Labor Day weekend at the waterpark – all while saving some coin on tickets and grub. You can choose from a few different deals that will let you enjoy two chutes that send you on a high-speed trip from the peak of a seven-story tower as well as a massive 800,000-gallon wave pool – plus spend time relaxing in a relaxing 600-foot lazy river.

Whatever you end up doing, have a great time!
