There are so many activities and destinations to enjoy in Los Angeles. So if you’re in search of anniversary ideas in Los Angeles, the number of options available to you is almost mind-boggling. No matter when your anniversary falls, your budgetary limitations, or your particular preferences as a couple, you and your beloved are sure to find inspiration from at least one of the suggestions on this list!
Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for renting all types of spaces by the hour, which makes it the easiest and most effective way to find venues and more in Los Angeles and beyond. This article includes some suggestions for LA-based Peerspaces that could work with your anniversary plans, so keep an eye out for those as you read.
Now—onto the anniversary ideas in Los Angeles!
1. See more than 12,000 animals native to the Pacific Ocean at the Aquarium of the Pacific
As the largest aquarium in the area, the Aquarium of the Pacific is an awesome anniversary idea in Los Angeles. Not to mention it’s an especially enjoyable place for any animal lover or science fan to spend their day, anniversary or not!
2. Plan an incredible anniversary party at a Peerspace party venue in LA
As we mentioned, Peerspace is the most extensive online marketplace of its kind, which means there are thousands of party venues to discover on the platform in LA alone (more than 2,600 such spaces, to be exact). Planning a festive anniversary party for yourself and your partner provides an opportunity for your friends and loved ones to celebrate your relationship with you!
Here are some examples of LA-based Peerspaces that we think would be an especially great fit for an anniversary bash:
- This industrial loft in Glendale is packed with convenient amenities, including a full kitchen, a 10-foot dining table (in case you’d like to host a dinner for your celebration), a bar top, and plenty of parking. The living wall and abundance of natural light also make this an especially luxurious and visually appealing location. With 800 square feet of space and capacity for as many as 30 guests, it’s an ideal choice for smaller anniversary gatherings.
- This secret underground speakeasy and wine cellar in Central LA has a very different vibe from the loft we just suggested. But if you’re looking for a private getaway that feels like it transports you to another time and place, it’s an unbeatable choice. You enter the space under a grape vine arbor and head down a flight of stairs to enter the bar, which has a 400-bottle wine cellar, a fireplace, a sound system, customizable lighting, a movie projector, and seating for up to 25 guests. You can also add an outdoor patio with tables, chairs, and heat lamps to your rental.
- This resort-style backyard with a heated pool in the North Hills will allow you to turn your anniversary party into a pool party. If you can’t afford to get away to a private resort for your anniversary, it’s definitely the next best thing. It boasts a waterslide, a koi pond, mini golf, and more, all surrounded by tons of lush greenery for optimal privacy and relaxation. There’s space for up to 100 guests, so this is a great choice for an all-out bash with a longer guest list! (And at only $50 per hour, this venue rental is an absolute steal, to boot.)

9. See a drive-in movie together
Drive-in theaters may be less popular than they were in the 50s, but there are still a few of these classic theaters in Southern California. Here’s a list of options across the region from TimeOut LA.

14. Have dinner at the more than a-century-old Musso and Frank Grill
Musso and Frank Grill has been around for four generations, dating back to 1919. That’s when they first started serving classic dishes to residents of Hollywood (including many of its biggest stars). Musso’s still serves Charlie Chaplin’s favorite dish: grilled lamb kidneys with bacon. They also have more standard fare like Lobster Thermidor and chicken pot pie, for the less adventurous eaters.
15. Go shopping for books, records, and more at one of the largest indie bookstores on Earth
At the 22,000-square-foot Last Bookstore, you can find 250,000 new and used books as well as records and much more. If you and your partner are book enthusiasts, this is by far one of our favorite anniversary ideas in Los Angeles. Especially if you combine this activity with some of the other ideas on our list!
16. Find an outdoor Peerspace venue in LA where you can plan an amazing anniversary picnic
Take advantage of that sunny, warm LA weather by surprising your partner with a lovely picnic for your anniversary—just the two of you! There’s nothing wrong with having your picnic in a public park. However, you can take the experience to the next level by renting an outdoor venue in LA through Peerspace.
Check out these examples for inspiration:
- This mid-century Venice bungalow with a Palm Springs vibe offers a luxurious outdoor space that flows beautifully into the home’s indoor space, with marble floors both indoors and out to create a feeling of continuity. The outdoor area offers comfortable couch seating around a fireplace. There’s also a dining table and tasteful decor that combines boho and mid-century modern furniture and style.
- These private gardens in East Hollywood are absolutely stunning, filled with greenery and colorful flowers blooming all year. In addition to browsing the numerous photos in the listing, check out this footage of a garden party at this venue to get a better sense of what the space actually feels like.
- This California ranch with a cottage garden in the heart of Studio City is yet another Peerspace with a gorgeous, verdant outdoor space that’d be ideal for an intimate picnic. The cottage garden is inspired by French country gardens, with a covered brick patio as well as fairy lights and outdoor chandeliers for nighttime. There’s also access to a private kitchen to make last-minute food preparation for your picnic as easy as possible.
