About Sonoma County Families

We're a family of five who moved to Santa Rosa in 2021. With three kids (currently ages 10, 8, and 6), we've spent the past several years exploring everything Sonoma County has to offer families.

We homeschool our kids, which means we're out in the community a lot. We've been to countless parks, playgrounds, museums, restaurants, camps, and events. We have strong opinions about which pumpkin patch is best, which playgrounds are worth the drive, and which summer camps our kids actually want to go back to.

Why we started this

When we first moved here, we wished there was a single resource that had honest, detailed information about family activities in Sonoma County. The kind of info you'd get from a friend who lives here, not a generic tourism site.

So we decided to create it ourselves.

What you'll find here

  • Honest reviews based on our actual experiences, not sponsored fluff
  • Practical details like parking tips, best times to visit, and age recommendations
  • Seasonal guides for pumpkin patches, summer camps, holiday activities, and more
  • Local knowledge from a family who actually lives here and does these activities regularly
