Great wolf lodge has lots of great things to do for the family. At around 2-300 dollars a night. Which i think is kinda high, you can enjoy your very own water park indoors. The park is only used by hotel guests so you dont have to worry about random people coming in that are not staying. They have a great area for food and video games. Absoluetly loved it.

Northlake Mall is fabulous, i love all the shops and restuarants that are with in. There is so much to see and do. It is a very clean mall that is well kept. It is in a busy area of the city so traffic might be a little tight getting into the parking area but once you get into the mall you can relax and enjoy.

This mall doesnt have the greatest selection of stores but it is a beautiful mall. The arcitechture inside the mall is very nice. The food court is well stocked with plenty of options. This wouldnt be rated my favorite mall but it is not that bad of a place if you are looking to get out of the house with the kiddos.

Carolina place is a great mall. Its a two story mall with lots of great stores. From American eagle and Abercrombie to belks, jcpenny and Yankee Candle. There is a play area with rides for the little kids. The have rentable strollers that are like 25 cents or 50 cents. They are cute they are in the shape of cars. So much to do and you will get a great work out walking around.

Discovery place is awesome they have so much to see and do. A good bit of it is hands on activities. They have different shows that come through that have great exhibts to look at. My kids absolutly loved it and we will definetly be going back. Schools do take field trips there so you may want to call ahead and see if there are any that day to avoid a crowd.
