Cloverdale Mall in Etobicoke has entertainment for kids monday to friday http://www.cloverdalemall.com/events/

The McDonalds in Barrie has a scavenger hunt for the kids. When their done they bring the answers to the cash and get a free small ice cream cone.

Just a thought-how about teaching kids new skills at home? Also chores/spring cleanup-they help keep the family going. It's also a good idea to check out what seeds can be readied for germination and growing. Let them pick a herb or flower or vegetable they will grow in containers but start them off in cell packs or whatever container you use to grow seeds in (I used to find takeout salad containers with clear domes and black bottoms made ideal greenhouses for starting seeds off).
