I was there without kids. It was, in fact, the only time in my life I've ever truly traveled alone. On the same trip I went to an amazing market in Valkenburg in the Netherlands. The entire market is held in a cave under the town. There are carvings and etchings on the walls (including the names of U.S. soldiers who liberated the town from the Germans during WWII). It's a touristy place, but cool. And everything looks better covered with Christmas lights, right?
