This museum explores the serious "art" side of Charles Schulz (e.g., the influences on his drawing style), but does it in such an approachable and fun way that the experience doesn't feel as much like a traditional museum. Save time to have a snack in the Warm Puppy Cafe, and browse in the Gift Shop (which also contains some displays... More

It's worth the money just to see how Charles Schulz lived and worked in Santa Rosa. His workshop in this museum causes you to feel that you are looking over his shoulder while he's drawing and thinking about the cartoon of the day. Also, what's unique about this museum is the fact at least some of the workers in the... More

Seeing all of the original art and Charles Schulz's office/studio was very special. I took a 12-year-old with me and he was only slightly interested in the exhibits; he LOVED the ice skating rink. I think there's something for everyone here....

The museum is very well done with a solid history of Schulz and his peanuts character. There are many displays of the cartoons and a very good history of the life and drawings of Charles Schulz. After many years of reading this cartoon strip, it was a pleasure to learn more of how it came to being, the work that... More

This looked like a fun place, so we decided to give it a try. We both grew up enjoying the Peanuts comics and TV specials. The building is beautiful and the two prominent wall art displays (wood relief of the evolution of Snoopy and a comic strip panel made up of many comic strips) were very nice. There are a... More

On our trip to Sonoma & San Fran, a pit stop in Santa Rosa at the Charles Schulz Museum was always on the agenda. I'm glad we made the stop. The location is beautiful and the property is bigger than I expected. We were guided by the friendly and knowledgable volunteers, there was one older married couple in particular who... More

Something for everyone. This is Schultz's town. There wonderful drawings, cartoons, statues, memorabilia etc. There are in-depth exhibits. There are non Peanuts-related exhibits that give an insight into the cartoonist. A nice way to spend the morning or afternoon. Very good value/.

Interesting exhibits, especially if you love the peanuts gang. If you visit the museum, be sure to also catch a skating session at the ice arena. You won't regret it.
