Any of the malls....they all have lines. Try to go during the week....lines are somewhat shorter....weekends...wow...only a masochist puts themselves and their kids through that.

I couldn't find any schedule for North Hills.

Brier Creek had a Santa house in years past...not sure about this year or times.

My brother gets his kids pics with Santa taken at Southpoint. He says they gave them a pager like at a restaurant. When it was their turn they just reported back to Santa. So that might be an option if the only time you can go is on the weekend. Sure beats standing in line!

I just go to Cary Towne Center because it's closest to me. I will be going soon & during the week.

Might...I don't often get up that way anymore, but who knows when I am out looking for something this season. It was due for some improvements. Nice to see they did it.

Well, do keep in mind it's a local-family-owned mall, not a nationally managed one. It's never going to be Southpoint. Eh, it's got a special place in my heart; seen it change so much over 20+ years. I like all the unique shops and the kid activities.

Default Southpoint has an authentic bearded Santa. :)

I checked out the Southpoint Mall Santa and he does have a real beard if that is something that you are looking for. I'm not sure if all the malls in the area have Santas with authentic beards. But that is a sticking point for me.
