Hi,

Can we use both "for" and "to" in a sentence such as the following?

1) A day out can be quite exciting for/to the children

Thank you

No, only "for" in that context.

'For' would be more common and colloquial.
However, if it excited the children, it was exciting to the children.

You could put either in:
"That book was quite interesting to/for me."
"Her presence was intoxicating to/for him."
