Earth orbit is neat because you can look down and see the whole world below, just like on a map, but without the lines on the map that show country boundaries. Going to the Moon will be fun because you will be able to move around feeling as light as a feather, and look back and see the Earth in the sky. Mars has some atmosphere, and so the sky there does not look black, like it does on the Moon.
