When is a good time and day to see Santa without a ton of people around?

Noon

The mornings after opening (10am) and before closing (9pm) seems to be the least busiest hours according to the bar graph

I used to work in the mall so I would say anytime right in the morning or an hour before closing would be the best time. We brought my son on Monday morning and there wasn't nobody getting pictures taken with Santa.

I've been to the mall at night during the week and Saturday morning and it wasn't crowded either time.

Before 3pm

Not sure

I would rhink easter
