Places to See Santa 1. Crabtree Valley Mall
Perfect for killing two birds with one stone! Get your holiday shopping done at the stores and then take the kids for a visit to Kris Kringle in the mall’s Promotional Court. 2. Lights on the Neuse
Head over to the Boyette Family Farm in Clayton to climb aboard Santa’s famous sleigh and talk with Mr. Claus himself. 3. Black Santa
For those desiring a more inclusive Santa Claus, Black Santa will be making appearances in Cary and Durham this holiday season. To find out more about where to spot him, visit www.blacksantaraleigh.com. 4. North Hills
Saint Nick will be stopping by the Shepherd’s Way Christmas Tree Lot behind JCPenney this December. Catch him while you can to snag a photo and fulfill those important holiday gift requests. 5. Triangle Town Center
Ever stop to think that our furry friends may want to meet Santa too? Bring your pets to Center Court every Tuesday night in November for what’s guaranteed to be an adorable photo with The Old Man in Red. 82 | midtownmag.com
Things to do with the
out-of-towners 1. ACC Basketball Game It may not be March yet, but college basketball season is already heating up in the Triangle. Give your guests a true Tobacco Road experience at one of the area’s many hallowed arenas. 2. Marbles Kids Museum Take your younger set of guests to this downtown Raleigh museum and let the kids play in the exhibits or catch an IMAX film. 3. The Governor’s Mansion Also known as the “people’s house”, this historic mansion is steeped in fascinating local history and is sure to delight your guests with its Holiday Open House, open from December 8th-11th. 4. Second Empire If your out-of-towners are used to fine dining, they’ll feel right at home in this world-class, award-winning restaurant in downtown Raleigh. 5. Brewery Crawl Why not show off Raleigh’s bustling beer scene with a tour of the city’s most delicious brews? Trophy, Big Boss, and Nickelpoint Brewing are a great place to start. Have fun and stay safe!
