"Ride the ponies!"
My kids love Carousels! It's not too expensive and the museum that is attached is more like a play area. There are plenty of things for the kids to do and not be bored. The price to enter and to ride is affordable! The kids will not tire of the indoor play area, but if they did there is a huge lawn for them to run around and get some energy out!
