VALENTINE CELEBRATIONS IN BURBANK

 

Burbank knows romance and we’ve lined up a special itinerary perfect for anyone who loves to celebrate Valentine’s Day in a big way.

Start out with breakfast or lunch at Magnolia Park’s hip Romancing the Bean Café. From organic coffees and teas to quinoa breakfast bowls, salads, sandwiches, fresh juices, and locally baked pastries, you’ll find something savory for every palate.

 

 

Lovebirds of all skills level will be able to book and enjoy a semi-private guided one-hour horseback ride through the Hollywood Hills on Griffith Park’s lush trails via the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. Experience includes gourmet lunch, champagne and decadent chocolate treats at a unique photo op.

From there, take a walk down Magnolia Boulevard for a little window shopping, head to Downtown Burbank to AMC Burbank. This state-of-the-art cinema house pampers its patrons with reserved seating, food and drinks delivered to your seat, IMAX with Laser and 16 different movie choices.

 

 

Does all that creativity on screen make you want to unleash your inner artist? Check out Magnolia Park’s Wine & Design. Sip on some wine while you and your Valentine create original paintings, guided by a local artist.

 

 

For a happy hour, enjoy the most romantic views in Burbank at Castaway Burbank. The entire space opens up to sweeping views of the city and amazing sunsets. Reserve an early table or relax at the bar for romantic cocktails. (You can also reserve a table for their extraordinary Valentine’s Day three-course dinner menu. Check it out here.)

Your adventure can continue at Burbank’s globally inspired, small plate Commonwealth Restaurant. Their Special Prix Fixe Dinner Menu for Valentine’s Day features eight international courses with recommendations for wine pairings. But reservations are a must, so don’t wait to make up your mind.
