How about the Grand Canyan. I hear its awesome there.
Theres also Las Vegas. I hear its a fun packed place, as long as you dont gamble away all the money.

I found this a lot of fun.
The Florida Everglades National Park/Biscayne National Park/Elliot Key Island.
I started out by camping at Flamingo Campground/Florida Everglades for 3 days. I rented a kayak and paddled the mangrove forest.
Then, at Biscayne. I took a boat over to Elliot Key Island from Biscayne and camped on the island for 3 days. There, I was able to snorkel the shallows and enjoy the coral reefs off of Elliot Key.
WARNING: If you snorkel. YOU MUST USE A RED DIVING FLAG. (A person was snorkeling without a diving flag while I was there and died because a boat did not see him) Walmart has/had a snorkeling kit for 20 bucks(flippers, mask & snorkel)
ALSO, I recommend doing the Everglades during the late winter/ early spring when the bugs and heat are not as bad.
AND FOR GAWD SAKE. DO NOT PLACE YOUR CHILD ON A ALLIGATORS BACK WHILE THEY ARE SUNNING ON THE ROAD. (true story - saw a tourist place his 4 year old son on a alligators back for a photo opprotunity.
Elliot Key only has access by boat or seaplane. There are NO stores on the island. SO, you have to pack in/out your food and water. Pack food in air tight containers. Racoons on Elliot Key are master thieves. I had my breakfast muffins tied up in a tree. The racoons still got them.
