I need concrete patio resurfacing ideas

I need concrete patio resurfacing ideas. Currently have a large uncovered concrete slab patio. It has a few minor settling cracks in it and just generally isn’t very aesthetically pleasing. 25 years old at this point. I looked at blue slate, but holy shite it was expensive. For our size patio we’re talking almost $30k.
Is there something cheap out there? Should I resurface with textured concrete or will that look bad? Another note, I have a bunch of kids and they play on it a lot.

pics of the current patio? if they're already playing on it, I would imagine you wouldn't want to change it up.
if the cracks aren't causing the slab to deform, maybe consider just filling the cracks?

Concrete stain? They come in a ton of colors now. That's probably your cheapest and easiest option.

They is the polymer applications that have the flecks in them? Acid stain? Stamped concrete overlay?

Sounds like you’re going to have to stain it if you don’t want to spend a lot of money. You can’t really resurface with a thin layer of additional textured concrete as it will just chip away over time. Concrete folks don’t like to pour less than 3 inches thick. Also it will probably crack again where it cracked before.
If you are willing to spend then check out outdoor porcelain pavers. They’re thin and you can select different textures from stone to wood.

Float it with leveling cement and cover with ceramic tiles.
