The 5-yr old is fascinated with volcanoes. Got recommendations?

I'm with Paul F...go to Hawaii or Yellowstone (or Mt. St. Helens). Bear in mind that the Hawaii volcanoes (aka Shield Volcanoes) are the most mellow and mundane of all volcanoes. No giant stratovolcano cone, no explosive eruptions, just mellow slow-moving lava going into the sea (that said, it is reeeeeeeeallly exciting to hike up to the active vent and peer into the lava lake (an activity only for nutter geologists like davester and friends).

Seriously, this is the age to actually go to the real thing rather than settling for book knowledge.
