Peanuts are her favorite, it's about 50 to an hour drive with traffic. Very easy to get to once we were there. It's in a beautiful little neighborhood. Plenty of parking. The museum itself has a lot of interesting things to read about and the history of Charles and how he started some interesting things I had never knew. The gift shop is very small not much to purchase. But we did discover if you cross the way there's an ice rink and they sell snacks there and then next to that there's a store that has tons of peanut merchandise.

The cutest little museum and a MUST do for Peanuts fans!!!…read more My wife and I took a trip to Santa Rosa, specifically for this museum. The museum is rather small, but is very well done. The entire Schulz campus, including the gift shop and the ice rink is an experience. You will want to give yourself a few hours to fully experience this place. Up stairs, there is an area where you can sit and color and also trace your favorite peanut characters. They provide all the supplies to make your own paper Snoopy Dog House. It is very cute. The museum as several great picture opportunities throughout the museum. Even the bathrooms are themed with Peanuts characters on the tiles. In addition to enjoying the museum, I also highly recommend doing the "Peanuts on Parade". There are Peanut status all throughout the Santa Rosa area. Over 100 of them!!! We challenged ourself to find and take a picture with all of them. We got about 120 before we ran out of time. It's free, other than your time and gas to drive around, but it was an extended part of the Peanuts experience that we absolutely enjoyed.

He has a mental illness and has been abused by the jail/correctioal officers. He told me that they threw balogny sandwhichs at him in the cell, strip searched him, made fun of him and denied him access to visits with grandma and I. The jail staff presents well , and seems decent, but upon looking deeper, you can see the real problems here. Most people, if not all, eventually get released from this pink castle. They go back into the community often worse off then they went in. This place is a drain on tax payers money, and its full of courruption. Just wait, this pink castle will meet the fate of every other bastille. oh, but you think this time is diffrent? let time tell.

Firstly, u can tell they know they're doing a bad job because u cannot find reviews or post any on Google. They've had it TURNED OFF! Secondly, u could tell more money goes in their pockets than to the facility that they get every year for funding because: -Across the board no one will tell u the food is even somewhat palatable there. The clothes are old, stained & smell no matter how much u wash them. -The mattresses for the beds aren't mattresses, they're floor mats. -The facility is disgusting regardless of the "janitor position that keeps it impeccable" like the website says. -It's run down, it's dirty. I'm not sure if any building inspectors have taken a look at it lately but they should. -The only way for inmates to be able to eat is to have money put on their books for commissary- which is only on Sundays to order. I myself have been trying for 3 days to put money on books so he can eat. I just got off the phone with the sheriff's there at the jail and asked if there was some other way besides JailATM to put money on an inmates account. All the different options they put on their website don't work. Sonoma County is not opted in on those things for whatever reason. I did explain to the deputy that even though they list Access Corrections, JPay, TouchPay, etc.. Sonoma County has opted out! Why?! I've had no issues with JailATM before and all the sudden I do now. I need to take a selfie with my ID and send it to them. But nobody's there on the weekends so it doesn't really help me out. Let's not fail to mention the inmates are locked up almost the entire 24 hours in a day. They're pretending like covid is still in full swing like it was 2 years ago. They always use the excuse if they're understaffed for everything they don't want to do whether they're in the jail or out on patrol. It's just they don't want to do their jobs. Cuz they get a lot of funding that is public information you can attain that easily..along with all the lawsuits and charges that have been brought against them. Sonoma County Sheriff has not quite a reputable reputation. They get sued a lot, and it's not surprising.

Be Still My Art Art…read moreand history museum located in the heart of Downtown Santa Rosa that's been celebrating the region's history and art scene for over forty years (ca. 1985). The Good: *More than the name implies, as it's not just a history museum but also an art museum, as well as a sculpture garden. *Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. *$12/adult, $10/senior, and $6/kid makes this an inexpensive option for things to do, especially on a rainy day. *The art section of this museum is truly incredible. There were some truly beautiful pieces of art on display here that left us mesmerized. The Meh: *Only open Wed - Sun. *The history section of this museum was just OK, but maybe it just didn't hold up to the art portion. The Ugly: *Paid street parking only. Conclusion: Great little museum to come check out when visiting the area and a good way to kill an hour or two.

The staff i recommend to stay away from is ms.liza, shes pretty awful and has managed to get half of the school to hate her, and im not exaggerating theres only around 20-30 students that actually like her.The staff are pretty bad, but a lot of them are also good; so its pretty much in between, but the fact that multiple high roles havent done anything about ALL the complaints they have got about this staff is awful. So many people have talked about her to the counselor, office lady, principal, the only ones who actually tried to do something was the 5th grade teachers, thats it. They hardly do anything whenever they get complaints, one of my friends in 3rd grade was being touched in her areas, and sexually assaulted; When this was reported by the parents they were told "its not considered assault until 4th grade" assault is assault. It does not matter the age. Now onto the community and people in the school, theres many friendly people that are worth talking to, but then 80/100 of the kids in our school are overly judgemental, no matter what you do you will most likely always be put down, looks, weight, size, eye color, skin color, hair color, style, voice, anything you can think of is talked terribly about even the things your most passionate about, the school is very opening to LGBTQ+ members though, and that does make me happy, but other then the staff, and the judgement the school is pretty cool, i only recommend it if your not too sensitive. But remember never change yourself for others no matter what.

Blends in with harmony to the surrounding area and Jeju Way - the tiny park located directly behind the statue. Russian River and the Chinese restaurant next door, Ting Hau are the closest business - on either side of the statue is diagonal street parking.
