This is the only mall I go to when I'm looking for a mall-type experience. While my family tends to shop small, locally owned businesses, we do enjoy a visit to the Apple Store, Nordstrom or Teavana. There is something for everyone in SouthPark Mall, too. Excellent restaurants (the Food Court has healthy options, too), exciting, trendy retailers offering myriad options (from sporting goods to couture clothing) and entertainment for the whole family. They have an excellent Kids Club program that is super-affordable and offers great programs for kids year-round, and plenty of comfortable places for Dads to lounge and catch up on email while their significant others shop 'til they drop.
Parking is pretty good, but plan to do a little walking and definitely remember where you parked!
My current crush is on the new Container Store that opened in the summer of 2011.
