Snoopy Takes Over NYC with Capes & Tennis Balls

Snoopy wears couture capes while a tennis themed shop stocks Peanuts gear at this free Meatpacking exhibition.

Catch Snoopy's capes and tennis balls before it ends.

🎾 Style Meets Sport


👑 Capes and Couture

Snoopy in Style NYC frames the beagle as a design object rather than just a comic character, inside a Meatpacking hall curated by the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center. Snoopy and Woodstock figures stand in custom designer looks, and one pair wears layered capes built from dozens of tiny Woodstock figures. A lit shelf of vintage Peanuts ceramics runs behind the sculptures. Rare archival pieces trace how Snoopy moved from newspaper panels into fashion, sports, and music.

🛍️ Inside the Shop

A tennis themed shop anchors the far end, with shelves lined in Snoopy tennis balls, a plush Snoopy in a visor, printed tennis bags, and Peanuts branded watches. Three card dispensing machines each print a different design, and ten tokens cost five dollars with two tokens per card. Grab the free newspaper style photo prop that staff pass out near the front of the line, then browse the gift shop on your way toward the exit.

🗺️ Before You Go

The exhibition runs daily from 10 in the morning to 6 in the evening through September 26, at 25 Little West 12th Street in the Meatpacking District. Admission stays free, though hours can shift for special events. Staff stop new entries about thirty minutes before the 6 in the evening close, worth checking the official Peanuts site first. It fits Peanuts fans, design and sports lovers, and families after a quick free stop. Weekends draw the biggest crowds, and a morning visit means shorter lines at the shop.
