Other great options to your day trip are : Safari West ( book an early zipline tour , book the latest possible Safari tour , and bring a lunch to eat on the way ), the Sonoma County wineries ( do this AFTER the zip line tour ), or dinner at one of many great restaurants .
We truly enjoyed our ziplining and museum visit day trip to Sonoma County . You and your family will too !

Make a Day of It
After our zipline adventure , we headed to the Charles M . Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa , a place of tribute to the late creator of the Peanuts comic strip series , who lived in the nearby Sebastopol area since 1958 .
We loved the replica of Charles Schultz ’ s studio work space , including his drawing board used over the years . Another incredible exhibit is the Peanuts Tile Mural which is a wall mural made up of over 3500 ceramic tiles with pictures from the famous Peanuts series , with the compilation creating an image of Lucy holding a football for Charlie Brown to kick . One more outstanding exhibit is the Morphing Snoopy , which is made of 43 layers of wood depicting all the comic strip versions of Snoopy that were created over the years , morphed together from beginning to end .
