Agree on the Arizona 100%. ^

I'm not as worried as some about the childrens' attention spans.
I took my 8 y/o son & 11 y/o daughter there this past summer.

I think that children will be engaged by the things that engage their parents, so if you find it interesting and take the time to make it interesting for them, your children will be the richer for the experience.

Heck, go on Sunday, and then visit the swap meet at the Aloha Stadium afterward and buy all the tourist trinkets you would ever want.
