OK - so I grew up with Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Charlie Brown and the gang...I was entertained! My 14 and 15 year old kids were bored to death. The comic strips are enlarged and mounted under plexiglass -- too high for little ones to see, just so you know. For teenagers it's a bust, I'm afraid. My kids indulged me,... More

My granddaughter was visiting from Belgium at Easter time and we were having an adventure. En route to Safari West we stopped in to visit Snoopy. She enjoyed watching the video of Charles Schultz drawing and explaining his characters but she didn't know much about the Peanuts family. Then we entered the drawing area. There was paper, pencils, helping "how... More

9 of us, in full reunion mode, visited the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa California, just for something to do one afternoon. What a terrific museum and staff. The museum is very new, very modern and shows a reverence for the creator of all our favorite Peanuts characters. More importantly, it allows us to see the brilliance of... More

The museum needed to be "read" to be truly enjoyed so I can see where children might get restless. However, as an adult travelling with another adult, it was wonderful. Beautifully decorated, great layout and interesting background data regarding a facinating subject! More

A tribute to Charles M. Schulz, the iconic cartoonist who created and drew the Peanuts comic strip. Beautifully built and maintained, with changing exhibits, featuring Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, Woodstock and all the other favorite Peanuts' characters. Schulz's office is reproduced here, with his own desk, chair and book cases. Also awards and other memorabilia. Plenty of photo opps... More

We thoroughly enjoyed the museum. For Charles M. Schulz fans, it's a dream come true. We also had a bite to eat at their restaurant. We received our hot dogs/hamburgers on paper puppy places. More

We visited the Charles Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa. It was well organized and renewed my memories of Snoopy cartoons. It told the story of Charles Schulz and gave me a good picture of his life, how his characters evolved, his daily routine, and the properties of his strips that made them special. A nice place to visit for Snoopy... More
