[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've taken my kids to Chicago, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Nashville, Indy, San Antonio.

I'd vote St. Louis. The Arch is always great (it has a museum about the history and a film about how it was built), but also these are the perfect ages for City Museum and if you wait, the oldest might get too old. You can do Ted Drewes for custard, there's a Wild Bird Sanctuary (13 yo could handle a raptor and they get a long time with it), zoo is great, there are other museums, there's an aquarium too although we didn't have time to go, the botanical garden has a butterfly garden, I love the neighborhoods.[/quote]

Me again. 2nd choice Atlanta. The Aquarium is awesome. Also College Football Hall of Fame, World of Coke, SkyView, MLK stuff, Carter Library World of Puppetry if anyone like Jim Henson (may be a bit young for your kids, but there's also a history of puppetry side). The zoo is supposed to be great, but I haven't done it. Have been to Stone Mountain pre-kids.

I wouldn't rule out San Antonio due to the flight time. It may cost over $300, but if you take an 8:00 am flight, you land before lunch and it's quick to get downtown. You could stay on the River Walk, which has a little boat tour. My kids loved San Antonio.

Given you mentioned water, St Louis has the riverboat cruise by the Arch. It's not the best riverfront by a long shot (I personally love it but I love run down things, lots of people don't), but it's always fun to be on a boat, you can see the Arch, and it does apparently run in November. [/quote]

Me again again.... St Louis also has the Blues Museum which sometimes has live music. We stayed at the Embassy Suites near the Arch, and it's right there.

New Orleans would be fun for seeing alligators and music. Been there without kids.

Really feel like you can't go wrong with any if your choices, especially if your kids like cities. Have fun!![/quote]
