Sam's for Play Cafe

Peanuts headquarters: comic-strip exhibits and hands-on cartooning at the museum, then public skating across the street in the rink Charles Schulz built.

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

A renovated motor lodge on Cleveland Ave with an outdoor pool, fire pits and family rooms, minutes from the Schulz Museum.

A shallow instructional pool next to the lap pool and a 140-foot water slide; kids need to be 48 inches to ride it.

A toddler play area for ages 4 and under, a mega play structure for 4 to 10, and a Saturday-morning Little Leapers hour at Sky Zone for ages 6 and under.
