West County Center

West County Center is an enclosed shopping mall in Des Peres, just off I-270, with a broad mix of national chains and regional and local shops. A food court with multiple dining options sits inside, and J. Gilbert's has an outdoor patio. The center also runs family events such as pet photos with Santa during the holidays, and it has a spa among its offerings.

The climate-controlled levels are open to walkers, and mall walkers can enter about an hour before opening. Parking is free, but there is no designated bus parking, so groups should contact management before arriving. Strollers can be rented near H&M on the first level, and a children's play area is near JCPenney. Pets are not allowed except service animals and special events.
