See This Waterfall From Many Different Spots in the Park 

While this waterfall could be something you hike to see, we think you can appreciate this misty wonder from other vantage points in the park. Some great view points are Tunnel View as you drive into the park, several pull-offs along Northside Drive, or even as you drive by the Bridalveil parking area. The parking lot gets clobbered with visitors because it is one of the first major sites upon entering the Valley from the southwest. If you want to stop and walk to the fall, just know you will probably need to wait on a parking spot.

If you're looking to hike to a waterfall, we reccomend Yosemite Falls. The out and back trail allows you to adjust the hike to your kids abilities. The Mist Trail is also a great hike to a waterfall, although it can be difficult with little ones.
