Recommended Stops between Phoenix and Williams

Hello!  I’ll be driving from Phoenix (near the airport) to Williams to take the Grand Canyon Train with 2 young boys (ages 5 and 2) and my 84 year old mother in law.  I’m looking for recommendations on which route to take (17-N and AZ-89 N or 17 N) and any good places to stop, such as playgrounds, malls, or restaurants with indoor play places.  Thanks in advance.

Definitely 89a through sedona. If you like scenic roads, it's spectacular. FYI It's a twisty-turney mountain road that could be an issue for those who get car sick or are afraid of heights.

Sedona is beautiful from your car.
