This was a very fun and educational experience for our entire family. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Had tables of hands-on experiments about animals, wetlands, coloring, and made an oragami Snoopy dog house, library books, a staff member read a variety of books in the auditorium, and a scavenger hunt. And of course, all the history behind Charles Schultz. On the tv, they have footage of him drawing Charlie Brown and Snoopy.

Such a well put together museum, it’s not very big, but just big enough to definitely spend at least 45 minutes or more in. Depending on how much you’re really taking in everything. Theres a few cute picture spots to try out. Plus tons of little comic strips. They also have a really cute art studio upstairs that you can spend so much time in. All supplies is included, you can sit down and color a picture there’s a cool light table to trace characters on. Plus an origami instruction activity. I definitely could have stayed a few hours. It was such a cute time, adults are $12 per person which is also also super reasonably priced. There’s also the ice-skating ring next-door and across from it is a bigger gift shop. The museum gift shop is a little small. So I definitely recommend checking out the big gift shop next to the skating ring.

I've been going to this place since I was probably 12 years old I remember a couple of kids that were in their rehearsing for the Olympics or something of that sort for an ice skating show on one of them got injured pretty bad on the ice but other than that this place was a great place whenever my cousins would come and visit from Modesto we would come out and go ice skating and was always a great experience they also have a great what I would call food court area where you can get great food and spend day there with your kids they have special skates for beginners that have two blades on each skate so that you can learn to skate without falling on your buns and they have lessons and training and all sorts of great programs and they do all kinds of events so make sure to check back with the ice skating rink regularly and enjoy

Love this place! Such a hidden gem. so many people didn't know it was so close to Sonoma and Napa. A great place for kids or grown up kids who grew up with snoopy. Takes about 3 hrs to see the museum. next time will go skating there. there's a large gift shop on the campus that's in addition to the small one in the museum.

A small museum chronicling the history of Charles M Schultz and the birth of the peanuts. Along with some of the older comic strips there are also a few good areas where you can take pictures with some of the peanuts gang. It's a good museum to come to if you are in the area.

Wonderful and Historical Museum of the creator of Peanuts!Charles Monroe Schulz was an American cartoonist, creator of the Peanuts series and the characters Charlie Brown and his beagle dog named Snoopy, among others.

Walking into the museum you are met with a nice quarter penny machine. There are also glass frames of the pictures of the main characters on the wall. There is a theater and a store that consists of snoopy related merchandise. After the ticket booth there is 3 main areas to go to. The upstairs area which consists of the life of Schultz. The downstairs area which consists of the history of snoopy comics and drawings. And the upstairs area second half which considers of visitor engagement and an actual representation of the working space that Schulz.The outside area is nice on cold days as it has a cafe like area. Alongside having seats which could be nice if you bring along a class of students or senior citizens.

It was interesting and I'm sure amazing for those who love the peanuts comics. I think it's one time visit for me but still a cool place to check out. Entry cost is not crazy but it's not free.

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the Charles M Schulz Museum with my fiancé and dad yesterday. This was not the first time I've visited. My family came here frequently when I was a child, but this was the first time I'd visited as an adult. Many things were much as I remembered, and I felt a sense of nostalgia as we wandered through the Museum, remembering simpler times when my sisters and I went ice skating at Snoopy's Home Ice, chased each other through the Snoopy Labyrinth, and enjoyed hot chocolate and fries at the Warm Puppy Cafe. This Museum was home to many happy childhood memories, making returning as an adult feel even more special. We picked a busy, rainy day to visit, and the Museum was packed. Snoopy's Home Ice had a line extending past the door and wrapped around the building. We stuck our heads in, hoping to grab some food, but it was too busy to grab a table or chair, so we ate elsewhere. It was nice to see so many people and families enjoying themselves.The Museum has many cool things on permanent exhibition, like the gigantic Peanuts Tile Mural by Yoshiteru Otani (made of 3,588 Peanuts comic strip images printed on tile, it creates a larger image of Lucy and Charlie Brown running towards a football- Peanuts fans know what happens next)! The nursery wall from when Schulz and his family lived in Colorado Springs in the 1950s was super cool. It was interesting to see how his style progressed, and the look of some characters (like Snoopy) evolved over the years. This was particularly evident when looking at the nursery wall. My favorite part, by far, was Schulz's re-created studio. I loved seeing his collection of books, memorabilia, and desk where he drew comics daily. We also very much enjoyed the Snoopy in Orbit exhibit. It had some entertaining interactive elements and seemed popular with other visitors. The Museum is super kid and family-friendly and features interactive elements and photo opportunities for visitors. Adults can have just as much fun as younger visitors by delving into the history of Peanuts and Schulz. I'm prone to sensory overload and found myself unable to focus and process most of the information I read as it was so loud and busy. However, what I did learn left me impressed by Charles Schulz as a human being. Growing up during the Great Depression, serving in WWII, and facing a lot of rejection professionally when he first started as a cartoonist were challenges he overcame. Despite all that, he went on to create comics and characters that stood the test of time and are beloved by people worldwide. Seeing his work displayed and reading about his life and work ethic was inspiring! I hope to return when it's less busy and take the time to read all of the museum wall plaques and object labels.Entry was a reasonable $12 per person. The Museum offers free parking and has a large lot. They've made accessibility a priority, which was great to see. If you reserve in advance, ASL interpretation is provided for public programs, lectures, and docent-led tours. All the videos displayed had closed captions, and wheelchairs can also be checked out from the Museum. They have noise-cancelling headphones and sensory kits available upon request. I wish I had known when I visited, as that would have improved my experience. For guests or families who have members with ASD, they have free Sensory-Friendly Family Days when the Museum is closed to the general public and open for free to families who need a quieter experience (if you're interested in that, check their calendar of events on their website for dates).
The Charles Schulz museum is located in Santa Rosa california, and it opened August 17th 2002 it's dedicated to showing the peanut artwork, and peanut related artifacts.The museum offers a guided tour, educational programs, and special events.The museum also have a cafe, and a skating ring.The museum is open from 11:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. an admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors.

A small but really fun and interesting museum detailing the history of peanuts and its creator Charles M. Schultz. The exhibits featured lots of his original drafts and panels and is a really fun insight into the origins and creation of the comics. The exhibits rotate every 6 months, so there is always something new to see. There are activities such as a movie room for watching peanuts movies and a room to learn how to draw peanuts characters. A lot of photo opportunities both inside and outside the museum.There is an ice skating rink across the road and a gift shop that also has some really fun peanuts pieces from the past.Staff are some of the best I've seen at any attraction and will go the extra mile to make sure all your questions are answered.I was surprised at how much fun I had here and will be coming here again in the future!

I love snoopy, Charlie Brown and the gang! I absolutely love Charles Schultz museum!Don't forget to check out their gift shop where they have additional memorabilia and history about Mr Schultz upstairs.Be sure to pack warm clothes because You have to finish off your Schultz museum experience with ice skating! You can find the ice skating rink right by the cafe! Then you must get a hot chocolate to warm yourself up after. I don't make the rules ?

How did I not know that the Peanuts Museum was right here in Santa Rosa?! A must-do if you're in the area!What a wonderful museum. So well-crafted, with team members that are clearly so passionate about Peanuts. An incredible tribute to Charles M Schulz' work, mostly focusing on Peanuts but also highlighting his life from childhood (in St. Paul, MN!!) and earlier comics, to his later years that centered around his nearby studio, ice rink, and passions.Leave yourself ~2 hours to visit - we took an hour and a half to walk through the museum and exhibits, and half an hour in the gift store. But if you wanted to read each sign/comic, you'd need more! Admission is $12 for adults, with discounts for seniors, students and children.The first floor has an introductory video about Charles' life, and a room devoted to Peanuts and the cast "at school" with tidbits about Charles' school experience. So many fun comics to read, helpful plaques that brought themes and topics to life, and a true walk down memory lane for any Snoopy and Peanuts fan! The amount of thoughtful pieces of art and photo ops throughout the museum was truly impressive. By far the best I've ever seen in a museum! We had so much fun with the "psychiatric help" photo op and the "Peanuts yearbook" photo op. On the second floor, you'll find exhibits like Schulz' studio, Snoopy in Orbit, Charles' life and work, and more. But one of the best spaces is the art room!Here you can color in Peanuts coloring book pages, trace favorite Peanuts moments onto comic strips, and do other crafts that seem to be rotating - when we were there, it was an origami Snoopy dog house! Adults and kids alike all creating and crafting in this room was a sight to behold.They have a nice little space outside with a few fun art installations (like the kite in the tree!). Be sure to cross over to see the ice rink where Charles spent a lot of his time and the gift shop.

Snoopy has been in my life since I was born...this place has been on my bucket list and I finally got to visit! I did think it was going to be bigger, but I cannot complain about the content in this museum. From the beginning of Peanuts and Charles Schultz life and career, there are plenty of things to see and learn. Any fan would love to visit this treasure. They also have a gift shop of many collectible things from other countries. The Warm Puppy Cafe is a little dining place with a menu of different hot cocoas, sandwiches and small bites . This little Cafe is right beside the ice rink where the general public could get their fill of the ice. The Snoopy labyrinth was a nice little peaceful walk as well. Overall, I had the best day. Made my year!
