No particular order

NGC 2362 - nicely shows the effects of averted vision
NGC 3532 - so many, so even (others in the Carina area, NGC 3293 & 3114)
NGC 2516
M7

M41 is a sentimental favourite - first thing I found by myself way back when I was a kid with a telescope and a star chart.

My daughters like open clusters as they make shapes out of them, for example penguins, mice and the like - not sure I can see them though, perhaps my imagination gene is not very strong.
