For more wow factor, try for Saturn. You can find it about half way between Mars (Ares) and Antares (Rival of Mars) tonight. On 6/7 the Moon will be just to the right of Mars. On 7/7 it will be between Mars and Saturn and on the 8/7 it will be just to the right of Saturn.
Antares is often the same colour and brightness as Mars hence its name. Antares is the brightest star in the constellation of Scorpius which is one of the few constellations that looks like what it represents and one of the easiest.
I highly recommend Stellarium for finding your way around.
For a deep sky wow, try Omega Centauri high in the south.
