My kids (3 & 5) having been asking me to take them ice fishing non-stop since I watched a few videos this summer.  To be honest, I’m not much of a hard water guy and don’t have much for equipment or the knowledge to know where to go.  With that said, I was hoping you all could provide me with some recommendations on lakes and outfitters to go to that have tons of action to keep the kids happy and all the equipment to go with it.  I'd need someplace with an icehouse big enough for the kids to play board games already set up on a great spot, with a ride out there.  We live in the Twin Cities area, but the kids are good for a 5-hour drive typically.  I’m thinking perch, crappie, sunnies, and maybe a pike or two.  Thanks in advance
