Definitely the Guggenheim..the kids will love the Marini's.
Seriously....is this late planning? Hit the basics and wander....and with two kids along, ride the Vapperetos everywhere.

As Nigel said, you really should consult a guidebook. Here is an itinerary idea from this website’s host Rick Steves Venice Itinerary.

We spent a day taking the boat to the Cemetery Island (sorry I forgot the name) very beautiful and interesting - beautifully maintained and several very famous people buried there.....
then on to Murano - walked around saw the glass blowing and enjoyed a nice lunch, then back on a boat to Burano (my favorite) famous for lace making and the colorfully painted houses.
Then took the boat back to Venice.
When I say boat - it is more of a transportation service - nice roomy ferry type boat.
