Since opening in 2008, The Americana at Brand has become a popular gathering place for LA locals and visitors alike; celebrity sightings are not uncommon. The complex is primarily a shopping and dining destination, and few guided tours include it in their itineraries; if you want to visit with a guide, be sure to book a private tour of LA. The complex also hosts regular special events, including weekly Stroller Strides for moms and their babies, free yoga classes on the lawn, and a running club.
The Americana at Brand is an excellent setting for a date night.
Nearly all businesses in the complex accept cash and most major credit cards.
Most of the businesses are accessible to wheelchairs, including the open-air trolley.
The Americana at Brand is on Americana Way near downtown Glendale. Parking is free for 2 hours with store or restaurant validation. An electric-powered trolley offers free rides around the property.
The Americana at Brand is open daily throughout the year, though individual businesses maintain their own hours. Dinner reservations are a must on Friday and Saturday evenings, when outdoor live music performances are common.
It would be hard to miss the prominent fountain in the center of The Americana at Brand’s public park. Built by WET Design, the same company that built the Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas, the fountain offers an hourly show synchronized to music.
