4. Plan Your Escape

Perfect for a night of challenging fun with your favorite Valentine, Red Door Escape Room at The Veranda has clean and private rooms with escape experiences that range from “Once Upon a Time” to “The Warriors Way”.

5. Victorian Charm 

The historic Galindo Home & Gardens is open and ready to welcome you! See what life was like for Concord’s Galindo family at the guided tour.

6. Picnic Party

Pack a basket and make your way to Markham Nature Park and Arboretum—an urban oasis with more than two miles of scenic trails.

Or, if you’re up for a little more “high adventure,” you can't get bigger or more beautiful for Valentine’s Day than Mt. Diablo State Park. The park is open for picnicking with plenty of tables and spots available. You can bring Fido along to the picnic (just not on the trails). Rock City and the Summits are open too!

If you prefer Valentines of the four-legged variety, you’re in luck! Concord offers an abundance of places to eat, stay & play for you and your fine furry friends.

Had enough Netflix? Rediscover the joy of actually going out to a movie again! Enjoy cushy accommodations at the Veranda Luxe IMAX and Brenden Concord 14 , or go nostalgic at the West Wind Drive-In.
