HI AShish
Great that you want to go to Jungfraujoch! It will be an experience all of you will remember!
Jungfraujoch is at a high elevation, with thin air. Nothing to worry about, but you may find yourselves not very energetic up there and in need of a rest. It is a good idea to plan to spend about two hours on the top. First, sit down and, depending on the time of the day, have lunch or just a cup of tea. Indeed there are many activities, but you ma comfortably just do those that are free: visit the open-air platform, admire the mountains, enjoy the fresh air (let’s hope the weather will be good!); visit also the Ice Palace. I think these two things are free, although I am not 100% sure, other participants might cross check.
Be aware that everything is more expensive compared to what it costs down in the valley, so don’t buy watches or chocolate there. Bring warm clothes. Have your kids skip the “make your own chocolate” part, it may require waiting, and is not really typical of Switzerland.
Enjoy yourselves!

My wife and I just went there. Some told us not to visit because of the crowds, but I’m glad we went anyway. There was several things to see and do. It was definitely crowded and annoying, but it was worth it. The kid activities would be the sledding, zip line and the ice exhibit. Not sure how much the sledding and zip line cost, probably around the 20-30 francs price range, but the ice exhibit was free.
I know it cost a lot to take the train ride up, but we did the half fare card and it was worth it.
