I recommend you book this tour with Kanab Tour company for Peak a boo slot canyon. It's a great value and it's child friendly. They even had a car seat for my baby. The tour guide was very friendly. We went in Spring and even saw a sprinkle of snow!

Hands down the best way to see the grand canyon with kids! They loved the show before boarding the train and still talk about the "train robbery" years later. There is also food and and drinks to enjoy while riding.
