Recently had a fantastic experience with my daughter for her FIRST photos with Santa! I had been…read morelooking at their Santa schedule for weeks leading up to the holiday season and for some reason decided to hold off on scheduling a date/time, and of course, all of the time slots were full by the time I was ready to commit. However, I saw on their website it said they were going to do walk-ups only on Christmas Eve. I knew it would be busy, but decided to go for it anyway since we didn't have a whole lot of other morning plans. We got there around 11:30am and Santa was tending to his reindeer and having a cookie break. No one else was around, so I just stood out front and waited until I saw an employee and asked if they knew what time Santa would be back. She assured me he would be back by Noon but mentioned there was a waitlist. I asked if I could get on the waitlist since I thought it was just walk ups, and she quickly grabbed her iPad and added me to the list of about 8-10 others. Before I knew it, there was quite a long line and Santa was back and ready right at Noon. We got lucky, and all but one of the families on the list ahead of me never came back, so there was barely a wait and Santa was so lovely and inviting! The whole staff was amazing, and made for a wonderful first Christmas for my 11 month old. The set up was gorgeous, and the photos turned out adorable. Photographer was excellent as well. The whole process was smooth and seamless, and you can choose from a variety of packages/fees for prints and digital copies. Will definitely do this again for years to come!

I am a regular patron of the Alpharetta GA Branch library. It is greatly disturbing, and…read moredisappointing about the ongoing issues with the poor sanitation, public computers and printers. Over the past several visits, I have noticed that the multiple computers are either out of service or functioning intermittently, and the printers frequently experience errors or downtown, and the computer monitor, mouse and keyboards are covered with food, hair, dirt, crumbs, and other unclean things, which makes it difficult for patrons to complete essential tasks such as sanitation, printing important documents, conducting research or applying for jobs. Please keep the public library clean, and the maintained. This is very concerning.

Plenty of things to do and very kind, friendly service throughout with plenty of activities to keep children engaged and entertained. Additionally, there is a wonderful trail close by which is perfect if you have a dog and want to have a nice stroll with your family.

However, I'm also saddened at many of the closed off storefronts due to businesses leaving. Lots of parking is available all around the mall. A food court with spacious areas with lots of tables allows customers to find a place to eat without too much crowding, and there is a carousel nearby. It's easy to navigate this mall, and I like it because it has a nice layout that has only two levels that makes it easier for most people to remember where they are and not think, "Where am I" or "Where did I park my car?" North Point Mall was opened in 1993, and renovated in 2003. Since then, most of the mall has been maintained well.

Nature lovers, bikers, families with kids - Are you hearing me?? Georgia in general is known for it's beautiful parks & waterfalls and Alpharetta is no different. Visit the bustling Avalon mall for nightlife or the downtown for some interesting music and art festivals, the Big Creek Greenway for it's accessible paths that caters to everyone or the Fulton network of libraries to indulge in books or plethora of activities curated by the staff. A very peaceful city to live in & compared to it's neighbors like Roswell, traffic isn't bad at all. Alpharetta also has it's share of a few but good IT companies that is filled with Indians (duh! We're everywhere I know;) ) and a good school district. It's safe to live in and actually a great place to raise a family. Yeah yeah, rents can be high and property taxes can be too but not higher than the national average (I see you Californians :)) Take a chance on Alpharetta, you won't be disappointed :)

There was a professional photographer taking pictures that could be downloaded for free after the event and you were also allowed to take your own photos. As I was by myself, the photographer was gracious enough to take pictures with my phone for me. The line was about 1/2 hour wait, but it was so worth it. Then I was off to see what complimentary crafts were being offered. Wow, so many choices: popsicle Christmas trees to decorate, small jingle bell bracelets to make, large jingle bell necklaces to make, several different foam crafts to assemble (reindeer, snowman photoframe, birdhouse thermometer, reindeer glasses and more!). While looking at the kids making the crafts I noticed someone with an adorable balloon reindeer and went to find out where they had gotten it. There were two balloon artists that worked their fingers to the bone making the cutest balloons! Many different designs including: reindeer, snowman, Christmas tree, Christmas wreath, Santa hat, turtle, unicorn, giant candy cane, swords, and many more. They were amazing - and the line showed it. I was in line about 45 minutes for my reindeer, but I consider it time well spent! Then I was off to find the marshmallow roasting area. They had several fire pits set up and folks putting marshmallows on sticks for everyone. Truth be told, I went back more than once additional marshmallows. :) The event started at 4:00pm with the tree lighting at 6:15pm. Beautiful big tree on Main Street covered in white lights. I could not even count the number of folks taking pictures in front of - and inside of - the lit tree. I think everyone had a spectacular time. The event was scheduled to end after the tree was lit, but I was not the only one to continue to stay and take part in the merriment well after that. The face painting booth as well as pictures with Santa still had long lines when I called it quits at 6:45pm. I can hardly wait to attend this event again next year!!!

There is valet available, I believe for $7.
