Double Arch 

The Delicate Arch hike is the most famous (on Utah's license plate) its only three miles, but it seems father. It’s in the sun a lot but its pretty dang cool at the end. You can also go to the Delicate Arch viewpoint.

Sand Dune Arch

Starting Point: Sand Dune Arch parking area (approximately 16 miles from entrance to park)
Length: 0.4 mile (0.6 km) round trip
Time: 15 to 30 minutes

Trail leads kids through a short slot-type canyon to a secluded arch among sandstone fins where they will find sand pouring in to a natural sandbox beneath. Perfect site to have lunch and let the kids play.
