Opening hours in Concord: where it fits among family activities
Comparing like for like: what this gives you that the alternatives do not, and where the alternatives win.

What it does differently
The first hour after opening is the calmest of the day, and the hour before closing is the second calmest.
A birthday group runs better with a rough plan of who goes where first, even if you abandon it in the first five minutes.
Where other options win
Sunday closes earlier than the rest of the week, which is the detail most often missed when a family plans a late afternoon.
The published hours are 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays and Saturday, and 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sunday.

A short visit that ends while they still want more beats a long one that ends in a meltdown, every time.

Planning your visit in Concord
For a Concord family the trip works best folded into something else - the shopping that was happening anyway, a birthday that needed a venue, a Saturday that needed a plan.
Bring a snack for afterwards rather than during. Hungry children leave early and full children want to stay.
Tell a nervous child what is going to happen in the order it will happen. Surprise is the thing they mind, not the activity.
From Concord the practical question is timing rather than distance. Arriving in the first hour after opening is worth more than shaving minutes off the drive.
