It would be interesting for everybody, even for kids. Perfect exposition, a lot of different things to see with kids.
The site that is the Great Patriotic War Museum has several "attractions". The most obvious is Motherland Rus - a giant statue which can be seen all over the city.

One of the greatest places I visited in Ukraine. I'be never been emotional about ww2, but this museum not only shows how the nation suffered during the war, but it also celebrates the glory of it.
