Well...gosh. I love Philadelphia for its historic sites and museums and cheesesteaks. But if you haven't been to NYC, that's obviously a must-see. San Francisco is gorgeous and friendly and unlike any other city, topographically speaking. I think kids would enjoy any of those. Where are you traveling from?

I'd be inclined to be flip and say "any city in the US with the explicit exception of Orlando!" But I won't. But really, just about any US city can be a wonderful travel experience for kids.
New York, DC, Philly, Boston, all good on the east coast. Chicago is awesome. Kids love San Diego and the greater LA area for having lots of cool stuff to see and do (sorry, LA-haters). San Francisco has a lot going for it, obviously. Seattle, Portland.... great as well.

San Francisco or San Diego is fun for kids.
PS~clelbong~ Las Vegas does not have any real "water parks" anymore. Wet-N-Wild was taken down 2 years ago. All we have left are the hotel pools (and one can only use if a guest of that hotel) or the local rec centers...they usually consist of 1 slide for adults and 1 for toddlers.

San Diego--perfect weather, laid back vibe, right next door to a foreign country, good light rail system, great major league sports (great new ballpark, too in downtown), only 1-1.5 hrs. from the 2nd largest city in the U.S. (thrilling LA of course), the beaches, on and on...
