Activities for kids 9 and 11

[topmade]

I'll have to admit that I'm not the most exciting parent so what are some activities in and around the city that I can take my kids aged 9 and 11 to. I'll have a few days off next week and don't mind driving 2-3 hours somewhere. Some of the things I was thinking about was the corn maze but I'm not sure if that's a good idea since I have pretty bad allergies and my 9 year old boy has a bit as well. We might go to the rock climbing place as well. No camping or sight seeing places, just some place I can take the kids to, to let them have fun.

gokarting, white water rafting, mountain biking, atv'ing, horseback riding, just off the top of my head...

Skyline luge at C.O.P.

If they like the water:
The water park at sylvan lake if you don't mind spending $$$, or a cheaper alternative would be one of the leisure centers here in the city.

*edit: calaway park. You can usually find half price coupons online.

The saskatoon farm is excellent... They have a great restaurant.... and a U pick..

This! U pick for sure would be awesome.

What about the Telus Spark Science Center? Even as an adult that place is hella fun (yes I said hella). There is tons of activities for kids/adults and you're learning.

Skyline Luge, or perhaps the Tyrell Museum in Drumheller if they like Dinosaurs.

Shaker's go karting by Glenmore & 100th ST SE has gas go karts, but their limited to 15-20kph, so their not too much to handle for kids your age. Its quite cheap too. IIRC $35/person for unlimited runs.
