It was closed. Homeless everywhere. No bathrooms. Nice park. Coffee shops near by. Charles Schulz peanuts statue in park,very cool.

Place is clean and safe. It could be lil more historic tho. Still we took amazing photos and enjoyed very much our visit!

Quite historic. JK, its only a little historic. Old shops and converted houses Nice Peanuts sculptures and a shady park with benches for slightly sketch people. Pretty good spot to meet up, especially youve taken the train. Visitors center has pamphlets and photos thatll take three minutes to appreciate.Beware the hipness of The Goat, if youre not too cool for coffee. But you stopped going before it was sooo two weeks ago.

Super clean streets, safest Ive felt at any downtown. Make sure to visit Shady Oaks bar for great beer!

Nice place to stroll around even if youre not into Peanuts. Nice coffee shops too.

Beautiful decor! Terrific service, great wine and they had a Classical Guitarist. So relaxing!

Love the atmosphere the shops the restaurants.... Though since the shelter is close by and youre not familiar with the area there are transients around. But its not as bad as other cities... Just a heads up for those that may be shocked.

Great outdoor dinning all over the neighborhood

Fun area downtown Santa rosa. Its great to walk around and take photos with the peanuts gang. Also has lots of cool shops and restaurants.

Were all the old Crohns dogs to the past old shops toes in the hole Chevys

I love Railroad Square. Its an odd mix of touristy yet mostly historical for the locals. If youre looking for a small town feel on a staycation or visiting from abroad and want to experience the soul of Santa Rosa, this is the place to soak it in.

The historic district is a lovely place to take a walk. Grab a coffee at Flying Goat Coffee and if you are hungry stop in at Chevys for delicious Mexican food. Be sure to stop at the visitors center across the street. They have friendly people there who will tell you all about the Valley. We picked up some 2 for 1 wine tastings and other coupons while there. There is also a delicious Italian restaurant, an antique mall and other stores along 4th st. Be sure to check out the Historic hotel around the corner and eat breakfast at the Omelette

Nice Place and super clean streets.

Quaint historic district with visitor center, stores, restaurants and Peanuts statues. Lots to see, do and enjoy.

Nice place to visit..

Take care nowish....

Very informative tourist information centre in Santa Rosa.Staff extremely Friendly & knowledgeable

Despite rain the visit was pleasant and store staff very friendly

Great if you like Pokiemon.

Beautiful Historical park and shopping area! Good restaurants! Hosts a variety of events! Well located on the west edge of downtown Santa Rosa. Handicap access. Street parking. Nearby parking garage. Bay area Best: Whistle Stop Antique Mall! Popular local shops and restaurants!

We visit Railroad Square several times a year for lunch, brunch or dinner at the several good restaurants and to browse the shops for vintage goods, home decor, or outdoor and running gear. Some of the old architecture is interesting and its just a fun place to wander on a pleasant day. Frist of all it is a very trendy area. Second There are only shops and restaurants no apartments,condos,deupexs and houses. Third there are Peanut characters all over the place. Last this is my favorite part of Santa Rosa.

Very interesting place to explore, lots of attractions.

Nice people working there, very informative, got some cute gifts.

Beautiful center point to tha beautiful Petaluma

Good day at the RR square hot and a lot of people having a good time

Enjoyed our stay at the historic Hotel La Rosa

Good place for a quick meal or shopping. Check out the model train in the visitor center as well.

Great place to visit, but watch out for the lazy peoplethat hang out.

I went into a store there and was given a parking ticket in less than 3 minutes. Beautiful Town

Lovely place to walk around, but parking can be a bit limited. Lots of little shops and stores to visit as well.

Hard to tell what is up with corona party going on.

I love railroad Square. The people are nice. And they have to coffee shops one that does press coffee and one that does standard Brew.

I loved going in, they have information of probably every single destination to visit in Sonoma County, some other destinations on San Francisco, and the neighbor counties.Either if you are a visitor or live in the area You Should Definitely Visit This Place. I

A good collection of shops and restaurants. If youre lucky, you might be able to find an unmetered parking spot, but dont hold your breath! Farmers Market is nice. Some transient folks. Generally a good vibe.

Not much shopping or history, kill a bit of time pre and post lunch, dinner supposedly better

Cultural center with a Euro aesthetic, wonderful cafés, and the occaisional music festival

Great little area in Historic Santa Rosa. Great places to eat, wonderful area to walk. Close to lodging, antiques, coffee, craft beer and more

A beautiful place to visit in Santa Rosa

This is one of my favorite parts of Santa Rosa. There is so much there, so much diversity and community. This was the transportation hub of all of Sonoma County and it will hopefully be more important again once the SMART Trains start actually carrying people. It was were much of the commerce took place for the entire County. While it is not the hub it once was, it is still culturally and economically important. It has fine energy and perfect examples of great local business, like the West End Farmers Market, Toad in the Whole Pub, The Arlene Francis Center and Bike Monkey and not so great. It is a hub of small businesses taking part in keeping things happy and healthy while making a living and with the perhaps necessary accents of big goofy Corp Business that is the antithesis of what make this place special!

Safe area for dinner with numerous options

Railroad Square is definitely beautiful and has that old small town feel to it. If you take a closer look around youll notice the big redwood trees, old can on the rooftop, various Peanuts cartoon statues and more! During the summer they have many events there ranging from classic car shows to the Wednesday night market.

Its very expensive kind of over exaggerating a little bit its just a very spensive

Its the oldest part of Santa Rosa. The buildings have the original feel & look. A lot to do in the area.

Pretty architecture, moderate landscaping, prone to unfavourable vagrants ranging from dirty/tired -to- creepy and in your face.

Enjoy the historic charm

Cool historic district with restaurants interesting shops and an amazing antiques Emporium

Awesome place to Pokemon Go

It was OK, not really all that much to see and do. Our visit may have been different had we not had our dog with us on such a hot day. Just a few streets to walk. Parking fairly convenient (meters). Saw quite a large homeless grouping of people which made us uncomfortable enough to alter our route back to the car as it looked like something illegal was taking place.

The Goat Coffee is why I come here. Good coffee.

A lovely place to shop and dine.

Best historic place to go in town.

Lots of restaurants and stores in the neighborhood, rivaling the downtown area to the east.

Historic and interesting, but I wish this spot had some nice public restrooms, and that the city could find some way to deal with the homeless problem.

Beautiful place, many things to see

Nice little historic district of downtown Santa Rosa. Good restaurants throughout the area.

My favorite place in Santa Rosa for shopping, eating, and feeling transported back in time. I love how close it is to downtown, just a few minutes walk through the Santa Rosa Plaza and youre there!

Lovely place to hang out at.

Lots of places to eat and just get a coffee and relax.

Very pretty store! High-priced, but pretty

Small but quaint old town area of Santa Rosa, cut off from the rest of downtown by tragically ill-conceived urban renewal

Great historic location with Finn bars and eateries close by.

Nice place to walk around or catch the train.
