Blackhawk is a community just east of Danville, and its famous for Blackhawk Plaza, which is a…read moremust-visit place in my opinion. Although Blackhawk Plaza is technically an outdoor luxury mall, I consider it more like an entertainment center that is designed to relax and de-stress. I've been coming here regularly after moving here some 7 years ago and as a new parent, looking forward to coming back. I never come here to shop, since the small boutique shops are not for me. Restaurants are okay for the most part, but you're paying more for the location. The entertainment options are great: 1. Blackhawk Auto Museum is a must for car lovers, but they also have a special China exhibit and regular natural history in their main museum. 2. Ducks everywhere! You can destress while watching them swim and dive in the giant pond, and even feed them from food from Draegers. Lots of outdoor art too dedicated to ducks and geese. 3. Century Blackhawk, at least pre COVID, is an older but great theater where all seats are luxury recliners. 4. Gigantic parking lot. 5. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, with Creamistry for hot days and Starbucks for any days. For casual eats, I like Beep's Burgers. 6. A playground for kids and grassy areas. 7. A Crunch! gym and a new martial arts studio coming soon. For COVID times, they offer outdoor Zumba on Sundays. 8. These used to have outdoor concerts here Pre-Covid. Even though we're still facing the pandemic, Blackhawk Plaza still has its charms. Its sad to see so many businesses close, but the ducks are always there to cheer people up.

Diablo Blvd. between First Street and Oak Hill Road, near Highway 24, and across from the Lafayette Public Library and Lafayette Police Station. The current anchor tenant is Whole Foods, which brings in a LOT of traffic and customers, making parking a bit more difficult than before. On the other end of the shopping center is the other anchor tenant, Safeway. With two grocery stores in this plaza, you can stock up! McCaulou's is mid-way between the two grocery stores and is a popular local department store.

TSA made us open up her little backpack and we had to leave it with them/toss/dispose it. It was such a disappointment because it was a brand new unopened fidget toy!
