    Outdoor mall
    Great outdoor mall with an indoor mall across the street! Perfect for a daytime/ evening stroll as well. The water fountain plays and has a show at specific times. Great for the family and to hangout with friends

    Eat ice cream every day @ Haagen-Dazs
    As I was walking around Americana on this hot and humid day, it was only appropriate to stop and indulge myself. I had the Midnight C&C, Mango Sorbet and Coffee in a regular cup. Just don't sit too close as the water dances along the pond – water spray may get on your ice cream.

    This outdoor mall is more family destination than shopping experience — and that's perfectly fine
    There are some malls where you go to shop. That mall is conveniently located across the street. The Americana at Brand is an experience, and one worth repeating even when you have nothing to purchase. A trolley, elegantly choreographed water fountains, and curated green spaces invite you to enjoy the central square (much like a piazza) with your family. This is the perfect place to hang out while "the shopper" among you hits the stores. Not to be missed: the outdoor patio inside Barnes & Noble, and the rooftop bars and restaurants that give you the bird's-eye view of it all. And when hungry stomachs prevail, there are literally dozens of restaurants within a short walk.

    Now charging for parking - even with a movie ticket validation
    Be warned that the American now charges for parking when watching a movie at the AMC, even with theater validation. Previously, you would get 4 hours free with a movie ticket validation. Now the minimum they charge you is $5 - and that is with a validation. No incentive to go here for a movie anymore. The AMC at Burbank is much better with IMAX and Dolby Cinema. This theater is getting a Dolby Cinema in the Fall of 2022. My advice would be to park at the Glendale Galleria for free and take the short walk to the Americana.

    Beautiful mall and fantastic shopping
    This is the sister property to The Grove. It is a medium sized mall with stunning shops (Tiffany's, Laduree, Sugarfina etc) and gorgeous restaurants ( our favourite was Trattoria Amici). Parking was easy and cheap. Stay for the fountain display late at night!

    Plenty to see & do
    Such an amazing place - plenty to see & do . Open area shopping, with great brands such as apple & Barnes & Noble & Nordstrom. And with the convenience of being right across the road to Glendale galleria makes its more worth while to go. I would recommend shopping at Americana before heading to Glendale Galleria because there's are certain same store at both shopping malls but I found the Americana offered more

    Great for strolling and people watching
    Though I'm not much of a 'high end shopper'-this place was fun to stroll through and do some people watching. Window shopping, taking in the beautiful water foundation and grassy park in the center of this outdoor mall, was a pleasant way to recover from jet lag before encountering DTLA and NoHo. There is another huge shopping mall across the street with a variety of shopping options and parking garage. Enjoy!

    Beautiful outdoor mall
    One of the many places I frequent in LA! It's so nice just to sit near the fountain and people watch! There aren't much stores in this mall compared to the one right across it, most stores are high end specialty shops, but this is the best place to dine in. The best is still Cheesecake Factory (even though the line can get long). This mall also has a movie house. Parking is a bit expensive, so whenever I visit, I park at the one located at Artsakh street.

    Great Place to Enjoy the Day
    Recently I was having my car serviced in Glendale and while waiting I decided to walk over to The Americana at Brand. Previously, I had only visited the Americana during the nighttime hours but, this is a great place to visit during the daytime hours as well. I wandered around and enjoyed the pleasant music, the beautiful foliage, and the friendly people. Before I knew it the time had come to pickup my car and I found myself sad that I had to leave The Americana so soon. I will definitely visit again!

We've been down to this shopping area about 3 times now and we always make sure to stop there when we are in Glendale. It is full of cute shops, restaurants, theater, fountains and a nice grassy area near the fountains to just bring a picnic blanket and people watch with an ice cream cone. It is closed off to traffic so it is very pedestrian friendly. So much to see and do in one spot. Don't miss it. It's worth stopping to check it out. This shopping area is very well planned and thoughtful in the way they designed it.

Excellent planning that resulted in a well thought out multiple purpose community center: fine retail outlets, inviting outdoor gathering areas, wonderful fountain, trolley, wide variety of dining options, excellent seasonal decor, safe and clean parking garages.
