Places with a changing table in Santa Rosa (5)

Sonoma County's hands-on kids museum: indoor science and art exhibits plus Mary's Garden outside - a water-play creek, climbing structures, and a nature zone that alone justifies admission on a hot day.

Peanuts headquarters: the Schulz Museum's comic-strip exhibits and hands-on cartooning, then walk across the street to Snoopy's Home Ice for public skating in the rink Charles Schulz built - the Santa Rosa pilgrimage for Peanuts kids.

Santa Rosa's original play cafe: a real breakfast-and-lunch restaurant with a supervised play area built in, so kids roam while parents finish a hot coffee. Kids Bay Area's Santa Rosa family pick.

Santa Rosa's family pizza legend: kids get a ball of raw pizza dough to play with at the table, then watch their own creation come out of the wood oven - dinner IS the activity.

Casual Italian in Montgomery Village where kids eat free on Thursdays - piadine, pizzas, and pastas with a shopping-center patio for wiggle breaks.
