A Concord Mills school holiday runs out of ideas by about day three. This is a day-three answer rather than a day-one one.
Why it fits the occasion
Sunday closes earlier than the rest of the week, which is the detail most often missed when a family plans a late afternoon.
Feed them first. Every attraction in the world is improved by not being hungry in it.

The published hours are 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays and Saturday, and 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sunday.

Bring a spare layer even in summer. Malls are air conditioned, rinks are colder than that, and a cold child is a child who wants to go home.

Planning your visit in Concord Mills
Weekends bring more of Concord Mills out at once. If the schedule allows a weekday, take it; the same visit is quieter and the machines wait for nobody in particular.
Warn a nervous child about the noise before you walk in. Knowing what to expect is most of the difference between anxious and curious.
Do not schedule anything immediately afterwards. An hour of concentrated play is tiring in a way that shows up in the car park, not in the room.
The nearest of the two centres to Concord Mills is the one to aim at - Concord Mills in Concord - and the drive is the ordinary sort rather than an expedition.
