Westfield Century City Centre spreads across an open-air plaza in the heart of Century City, mixing high-end retail with restaurants and some real appeal for visitors traveling with dogs. The development occupies what was once a film studio lot, and you can still feel that entertainment industry vibe—there’s a sophisticated, well-maintained quality to the whole space that goes beyond your typical mall.

The shopping here leans upscale, with brands like Gucci, Prada, and other luxury names alongside more accessible retailers. What makes it work for a dog day out is the outdoor layout. You can walk your leashed dog through the pathways between stores, grab coffee from one of the cafes, and actually feel like you’re moving through a neighborhood rather than trudging through an indoor corridor. Several restaurants have outdoor seating where dogs are welcome, so you’re not stuck watching the action from the sidelines.

The plaza connects to some of Century City’s other amenities too—it’s close to the Fox Entertainment complex and near some office buildings that give the area foot traffic without feeling overcrowded on weekdays. Parking is plentiful if you’re driving, though it’s a pay structure, so factor that into your visit.

One thing to keep in mind: this is still very much a shopping and dining destination, so it works best if you actually want to browse stores or eat somewhere. It’s not really a park or a dedicated dog area. The appeal is more about being able to include your dog while you’re doing something else you’d already want to do anyway. The dog-friendly aspect feels genuinely integrated into the space rather than like an afterthought, though—people with dogs are clearly expected and accommodated throughout the center.
