"Snoopy's Home Ice is one of the coolest ice skating rinks we’ve ever seen. Built in 1969 by the Charles Schultz family and inspired by the Swiss alps (and Snoopy of course), they were the host of the ISI Snoopy Open 2025 this weekend. Natalie Anglin was ecstatic bringing home another Gold medal in her first competition (Open Freestyle which we were up at 5:30 AM to compete) and a Silver medal in her Artistic competition. The Snoopy Museum, Santa Rosa, California next door was neat to see as well."

"I was in the area visiting the museum and saw the Peanuts characters continue across the street so checked it out. The shrub outside shaped like Snoopy. Charlie Brown statue dressed in hockey garb. Further down near the gift shop is a Woodstock dressed as a referee and another Snoopy. As well as a star in the sidewalk for Charles Shultz. Inside the ice arena there is a cafe that is super cute with Peanuts decor from stained glass, to drawings to cartoons that line the walls. Also, the table frequented by Charles Shultz is memorialized there. From the cafe you can look on to the ice and view all the activities going on there. It's a neat place."
