There's the Kettle Valley train which is quite fun. When we went the ride ends in a mock train robbery which was entertaining.
I don't know how old your kids are, but there's this

We stopped there in 2012 cause we just saw it on the side of the road. It seems to be close to Revelstoke which might be close to your first stop. We spent two hours there I think? |
Will check out the train - that seems like something the kid will like. Wife nixed the Enchanted Forest, she thinks it's too creepy.

If you're coming through Kelowna and want better scenery on the way back take 97C to just before Merrit, then take 5A down to Princeton and then 3 through Manning Park to Hope. Officially it adds about 45mins to the drive but there's less traffic and the speed limit is lower so in reality it's always a lot closer than that.

We're just passing through for the most part - we're doing Calgary to Golden, then Golden to Vernon, then Vernon to home. Basically 3-4 hours of driving per day and stops along the way. We could add a day to the trip if there's enough to see. It's intended to be pretty leisurely with some random "that look cool, let's check it out" stops along the way.
The detour through 5A sounds like a good option - the Coq is boring and I much prefer the Manning Park view. thanks for the tip.
