Petaluma Wildlife Museum

Address: 201 Fair St, Petaluma, CA 94952, USA

“There is so much to say about this place I don't know where to start. They have over 30 live animals ranging from snakes to chinchillas to lizards to turtles to birds. They have a huge amazing taxidermy collection full of animals from all around the world, its amazing to be able to see some of those species up close. The docents are all very thoughtful and knowledgeable, talking about many different species and conservation stories, and they all care very much and have a passion for this work. Would greatly reccomended going on a guided tour on Saturdays.”

Military Antiques & Museum

Address: 300 Petaluma Blvd N, Petaluma, CA 94952, USA

“Several stores and experiences in one. The top floor is a vast antiques shop with tons of stuff that will have you shouting "OMG! Look at this!" "Wow, I had this as a kid!" And, "Holy cow, I always wanted one of these!" The prices were OK. I doubt you're going to find any bargains, but if there's something you're looking for, there's a good chance they have it. Downstairs there's a small museum displaying field uniforms and equipment from WWII and WWI along with examples of toys and propaganda from the various nations. There's also a little display about the Doolittle Raid with some artifacts of some of the crewmen. The museum is by donation and is worth the visit. Most of the floor-space of the downstairs is devoted to a military antiques store which is very nearly a museum in and of itself. Again, the prices are perfectly reasonable, but I didn't see any great bargains. (If you're in the market for a dozen Soviet WWII bayonets, this is the place you want to be.) There's also a good military bookstore in the corner as well as a variety of historical ephemera for sale. If you have any interest in military history at all, you'll probably have a difficult time getting out of there without buying something. I certain didn't. And I'll go back again soon.”
