Places with a changing table in Santa Rosa

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.

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

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

Santa Rosa's 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.

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