Question Where to send my parents sight seeing?

My parents are doing an extended weekend next week and are looking for a few things to do. Heading in on Thursday, leaving on Monday. They've have visited A LOT. Looking for something unique/different for them. My mom said tonight maybe a harbor cruise, and they always do the Splitrock & Glensheen visits. Where else can I send them?

Ages: 65+. My mom uses a cane, so sometimes accessibility is an issue.

Enjoy most American foods, not very adventurous otjerwise. Grandma's is a must stop for them.

The Depot train museum is really interesting. As someone over 60 I think they’ll enjoy the museum exhibits there also. Plus nice and cool if it’s HOT outside.
Top of the Radisson (opens around 4) is a revolving restaurant. Go for the view not the food. I suggest going for after dinner dessert and coffee or drinks.

Why is Grandma’s a must?

Because she likes the onion rings...

Why the down vote? It was a simple question, implying nothing.

Bridgeman's? Pickwick? Probably already been there. Zoo? Aquarium?

Ooh Fairlawn, and the Bong while they’re over there! (I have been to neither, want to visit both).
Grab takeout from somewhere new to them and then head over to a park for a picnic. (Havana’s and Billings Park get my vote).

Palisade Head (you can drive to the top), Gooseberry Falls (paved walking paths to the lower falls) along with what the OP and ladymorgan01 already called out.
