just so you know, in may, there is still a decent part of the island that you might not be able to access by car. particularly taking into account that a lot of what i am listing below is in the highlands. that said...besides some of the more obvious things to see (sk贸gafoss, gullfoss, blue lagoon), you might look into the following to see if they fit your family's jam:

hornstrandir nature preserve (by boat, not by hike)

the springs at hvammsvik

seljavallalaug pool

the kjolur road (if it accessible which is 50/50 in may)

the聽 hvalfjordur fjord (specifically for glymur waterfall

the village of siglufjordur

thakgil canyon, hulduj枚kull glacier

gljufrabui waterfall and the eastern highlands waterfall circle

Krakatindur track drive

markarflj贸tsglj煤fur Canyon

mors谩rfoss waterfall

most consider the southern half of the loop more sightseeing dense, but really its all equally nice, and honestly if you miss 2 or 3 waterfalls or glaciers after seeing 2 or 3 other ones, it aint gonna kill ya.

i would say, if you do a google search for "filming location iceland", you could use that as a destination list, which will often repeat some really common sites appearing in anything from prometheus to batman begins to interstellar to game of thrones.

my personal favorite was taking a dip in the fissure of the continental crack. https://www.dive.is/diving-snorkeling-tours/snorkeling-day-tours/silfra-snorkeling-day-tour

btw the band Sigur Ros did a project where they play background music to hours of footage of simply circling the ring road. gives you a glimpse of what it looks like on the road.
