I feel very lucky to have a place like the Children's Museum of Sonoma County right here in Santa…read moreRosa! There are so many fun, hands-on activities and special events for kids, which makes a membership absolutely worth it. We especially love the extra-large Light-Brite, water play area, and art room, but there is SO much more to explore. Totopia is also fantastic if you have little ones under 3--it's such a great space for them to play and explore. My only complaint is that the museum can get pretty crowded, so I definitely recommend getting there early if you want a little more space to enjoy everything. I'm also really excited and grateful that they are planning to expand the museum, which will create more exhibit space and hopefully help with the crowds.

This is a non-profit children's museum in Sonoma county in Santa Rosa. It's fun for all ages…read moreespecially if you're a kid at heart. It's centrally located in town and very close to the Charles Schultz (Peanuts/Snoopy) museum which is pretty well known. Pluses: - fun for all ages, but especially the littles both indoors and outdoors. - pretend play areas indoors including a dentist office and a medical clinic and a fast diner. All 3 were a hit w/my kids. - lots of other hands on activities inside to include a treehouse where kids can load apples and send them up and down baskets, my kids love that when they were little. - very popular air launchers to shoot wind spinners. - a huge manual pinball machine that is super fun, my kids never tired of making the pinball launch over and over. - a miniature train set that goes around, it's on the 2nd floor. - plenty of outdoors activities and play areas. - a little stream for water play, little kids love that. - a real life former medical helicopter (a bit random, but still cool). - a climbing structure, and a few other play areas also. - so many ways to tire your kids out, guaranteed a good nap on the way home and they'll prob sleep a lot that night. Minuses: - The building indoors is really quite packed. The different features are each thoughtfully designed and very nice and colorful, but it can get crowded here. - Pretty expensive admission. We got a discount, but I think their prices have increased. All in all, a great little place and good for creative play for kids maybe up to like 5th-6th grade at most, but best for 9 or younger probably.

Last year's Zoo Story, Trifles and Grace and Glorie were well done. Romeo and Juliet was a real audience pleaser. This year has started out strong with a superbly acted and directed Glass Menagerie. A local treasure for 25 years, it deserves to be known more widely.

I don't think i will ever tire of going to the museum and the ice rink. The ice rink sure does attracts a lot of kids who are lethal on their skates. Little speed demons.

I fell a couple of times (a little rusty!) and the employee was quick to come and ask me if I was okay and even helped me get up.

If you're looking for a group camp rental - not an ideal food setup. You can't bring your own…read morecaterer and the cafeteria food is... high school cafeteria quality. Lots of carbs and minimal protein. Luckily the location is 20-30 min from restaurants in Guerneville, so if you don't like what they serve and didn't bring a cooler to pack your own food, you aren't too far from better food. Because the camp primarily serves a teenage audience, they have strict rules on when you can eat, when you can get seconds, and other rules that make sense for creating structure for kids but feel overly restrictive for adults used to making their own food and eating whenever you want. So, if you choose to book this as a group camp site for a retreat, be aware of these restrictions when you consider the (cheap) price. If you're just looking for a place to send your kid for summer camp, it is beautiful spot in the woods not far from SF.

Last summer my 11 year old daughter and I attended Cazadero Performing Arts Family Camp (CPAFC) for…read morethe first time. There are typically two one week sessions, both held in August. What a wonderful experience! The setting is amazing; rustic cabins nestled in the redwoods, friendly and welcoming staff, great food, etc. What makes this camp unique is the fact that my daughter and I each had the choice of participating in up to four classes per day taught by amazing artists, musicians, dancers, and other performers, largely from the Bay Area. Classes included Capoeira, Photograpy, Brazilian Dance, Gourd Making, Environmental Art, East Coast Swing, Gospel Choir, Clowning, Yoga, and the list goes on and on. Each year the offerings are somewhat different, and everyone is welcome regardless of level or ability. While the camp is relatively structured, there is also ample opportunity for "down time". There are a variety of families who attend CPAFC, often returning year after year. We've signed up again this year and can't wait! I highly recommend CPAFC for any family who is looking for a camp experience with activities that both children and adults will love.

Pee Wee Golf and Arcade is a cool spot for some family fun in the little town of Guerneville. We…read moreenjoyed playing the courses at Pee Wee Golf, and the owner is a lot of fun. The prices are extremely reasonable for quite a few hours of enjoyable family time. Additionally, this is one of the few things to do in Guerneville that isn't a physical activity or eating/drinking. Unfortunately, I felt like I had to take a star off because this place is super run-down. Many of the greens are torn up, which makes it challenging to play each hole. There is also a lot of stuff everywhere, making the space feel cluttered and dirty in some areas. Compared to other mini golf courses I have been to, this one ranks fairly low on upkeep. Overall, a fun place to enjoy some time as a family. Great for young, old, and everyone in between. Just don't expect top-of-the-line greens or a pristine course.

Joining this chorus has seriously changed my life. I've always loved to sing, and have been in…read morechoirs and acapella groups all my life, up until about 20 years ago. Then, life got in the way of my passion, and I put my needs and love of singing aside to take care of life's business. In December of 2013, I reached a very high stress point in both my personal and professional life (lots of stuff going on that was totally out of my control), and I desperately needed to do something just for me. I needed stress relief, fun, an escape and to do something that brought me joy. I really wanted to get back into singing, but wasn't sure how. I knew I didn't want to join a church choir because I am not religious, and I didn't want to take a formal singing class again at a college, because I just didn't need the stress. I just wanted to sing and have fun. I searched online for fun-sounding chorus's, and found this one. I was really nervous about going because it had been so long since I had sung anything, and of course, I didn't know anyone there. However, I was determined, and I hesitantly went to a few rehearsals, and tried to blend in and not call attention to myself. I was really impressed by the positive energy, the non-judgmental feel, and the overall welcome feeling I got. The singing was secondary at that point because I didn't know any of the songs, and I was still really nervous. I was encouraged to do a formal rehearsal, so I finally did it at week 4, and I was accepted immediately the same night in Jan of 2014. Ever since then, I have been growing, evolving, coming out of my shell, getting over my stage fright, making new friends, learning the songs, and having an absolute blast. I didn't know anything about Barbershop singing until I joined. Let me tell you, if you're going to sing, Barbershop is the way to do it! I have found my love of singing again. I have found me again. I have re-awakened my inner passion for music and harmony and ringing overtones. I go to rehearsals, and belt out the songs with all the energy and love I have. I have fun. I sing. I laugh. I destress. I don't look at my phone for 3 whole hours! Like I said, joining this chorus has seriously changed my life. I was sending out an SOS, and I got help. Thank you Song Of Sonoma. Forever Yours, Katherine

I am so glad that they are having the fair this year. It was depressing in 2020 when it was…read morecanceled. I enjoyed the variety of food. The Greek vendors were friendly and patient when I asked for no onion in my salad. I got a ham and cheese gluten-free crepe that was yummy and plentiful. But watch out for the dessert crepes-they are small. All vendors accept debit and credit cards. If you want to sit down and see a picnic table that isn't full, you can ask the people there if you can share the table. Or bring your own chair. I really appreciate the bathrooms with flush toilets. In other venues, I don't like using porta-potties. We got there early, about 1:30 PM, on Saturday, July 31. At the carnival, the lines to go on rides were short. They got longer in the evening. Most of the rides were fun, but The Zipper is a problem. It's basically a cage where 2 people get into a harness. As the structure rotates, the cage swings any which way. You go upside-down a few times. The problem is that it jars your head. Two of the young ladies in my party stopped going on rides after going on The Zipper. One got nauseous/dizzy, but she is OK now. The other got a headache that lasted the rest of the day. A third lady is fine. So the reactions vary. I recommend avoiding The Zipper. There are other exciting rides that you won't regret. There was live music and dancing. Bring earplugs or stand off to the side. It's a bit too loud.

There was nothing exciting to see in the grace pavilion except maybe the water Skiing squirrel. The flower show was not as cool as it usually is. The theme was "celebrations" which didn't seem very creative. The food the last couple of years has been super expensive and way greasy. We bought tickets to the cirque me'ceo and the show was just OK. You're not allowed to bring in food that you purchased from the booth right outside the tent in with you which is crazy because if you have to pay to get into the fair in order to pay to get into the cirque you should be able to bring in food you bought from the fair. This is the second year the horse races have not been there and it doesn't look like they'll be coming back.
