I go there once or twice a year for about six weeks total. I don't know if downtown Palm is where to go anymore, I prefer Palm Desert. There are some resorts that you can stay at, as the town is nothing special for kids. There is a 'zoo' and lots of sand if that is your thing. As long as you have a bunch of day trips planned (San Andreas Fault line, zoo, hikes, Joshua Tree, Flames game in LA is a two hour drive).
The area is pretty quiet. A few times I did hit up Disney, six flags and a few other places with roller coasters, but those are long days unless you plan on spending the night. I have driven to vegas from there as well.
