Make Fridays extra special in downtown Petaluma!  The Floathouse Petaluma — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and Grand Central Petaluma are offering FREE rowboat rides for kids on the Petaluma River.

Launch from the Weller Street Public Docks and take a free spin around the Turning Basin! It’s a fun and easy way for kids to get on the water and enjoy the beauty of the river. Plus, The Floathouse is open for boat rentals for all ages — kayaks, pedal boats, SUPs, and more — making it the perfect start to a full day of river adventures.

The public docks on the Petaluma River are accessible from River Plaza (between Baskin Robbins and TAPS) and Weller Street (by River House, Grand Central Café, and Cavanagh Landing Park). GPS Tip: Use “150 Weller Street, Petaluma” for directions.
