Elbow is more interesting for sure. Could the kids walk a bit further to Edworthy Falls? You can see the falls and then find a lunch spot in the meadows away from people.
A lessser known hike that's pretty easy is Cat Creek Falls. I think it's about 3.5 km's to a nice water fall.
You might want to consider Pocaterra Ridge but just up to where the little tarn would normally be on top of the water falls. This year a massive avalanche obliterated everything and there is still a a massive snow field right on top of the trail. It's about a half hour walk from Highwood pass parking lot and really neat to see something like that. You can go up a bit further to the pretty meadows below the ridge too.

Yes I am thinkIng the Black Prince Cirque. It was sent to me yesterday by a buddy and I had never heard of it. I’m still a novice but I want to make sure my kids know what’s in our back yard. We did the Ptarmigan Cirque last summer and my oldest handled it fine, my youngest is still in a backpack carrier. Thanks for the recommendations. I will check them out.
