I would suggest to just stick with a couple of simple small types, the act of getting anything to fruit will be enough of a challenge, let alone getting a large "exotic" type to fruit. Kids who've never seen bananas on the plant will be amazed at anything. If you were to try something like 'African Rhino Horn', chances are you will just have a normal looking banana plant that will never fruit, or when it does, will be entirely unimpressive given it's conditions. If you had a greenhouse of a 20-25ft height and year-round tropical conditions where they could be permanently planted in the ground, then you could think about some of the large more interesting types.

I recommend to focus on 'Dwarf Orinoco' and perhaps some of the small wild species such as Musa velutina and Musa ornata.
