If you can stretch the budget to $300, that will buy you a 6" Dob from . That is a terrific scope, more than capable of what you're asking. The 12" Dob is way too big IMO anyway for a first scope, especially if kids might use it.
If $300 is no go, for $250 you can get a 80mm scope on an AZ3 mount from . The slower of the 80mm's would do better at high powers, while the faster goes wider at low powers.
