I just returned from a super trip to Europe, and one of the
highlights was Salzburg.  This is my first day back on the net,
so I'm don't know how old your kids are.  But if they know anything
about The Sound of Music, then this is the place.  We took a bus
tour of Salzburg and surrounding areas, and saw all the sites from
the movie.  The tour had a "surprise" -- a stop at a toboggan run.
Touring the salt mines and seeing the marionette puppet shows would
be suitable for kids, too.

As for Vienna, the Prater amusement park has the world's largest
ferris wheel, the Riesenrad (seen in The Third Man Theme movie).

And then there's Switzerland, and...and...!

Hope I haven't thoroughly confused you.  But Salzburg comes with
my highest recommendations!  And it's only a couple hours from
Munich et al.
