Day trips in Toronto are plentiful,
Look around and shop in Yorkville, upscale shops,
Visit the Royal Ontario Museum, at Yorkville too,
and see Queens Park, and the Provincial parliament building
CN Tower of course,
see a full-scale replica of the legendary AVRO Arrow !!! at Downsview aviation museum
Harbourfront, free afternoon and evening concerts and festivals during summer weekends.
Toronto Islands, short ferry boat ride accross the harbour, see a great view of the skyline
"The Docks" great nightclub, and great view of the skyline from there
Scarborough Bluffs, parks on top and marina / park on the bottom of the bluffs (its nicer and less crowded on the top)
Bike some of the extensive cycling trails through the long parks system
See "Pacific Mall" the largest oriental shopping mall in North America
Day trips out of Toronto, the possibilties are numerous.
Going out of Toronto for a day trip; you could go
2 hour drive to Orillia, quaint town with a nice waterfront and a park, and a 2 hour cruise on Lake Couchiching / Lake Simcoe
2 hour drive to Midland, take a boat cruise through the 30,000 Islands. Its a beautiful boat ride on Georgian Bay (Lake Huron)

Restaurants: There are hundreds of restaurants in Toronto and you will find every kind of food you can imagine. My favorite Italian restaurant is Boston Pizza, it is a very kid friendly place and the pizza there is the best in the world. Night Clubs: I do not go to them so I have no experience but I know there are dozens in the downtown area. Kid Friendly Places: Toronto Zoo, Science Center, Toronto Islands, River-dale Farm, Ontario Place. Parks/Playgrounds: Woodbine Beach is a great park, it is a great beach park on Lake Ontario, the kids will have fun playing in the sound and jumping in the waves, there are also playgrounds there and a ice-cream stand. High park has the best playground for kids, they will have a blast here. It is also a good area for a nice long walk, there are trail in the park and you feel like you left the city. Stores: There are thousands are stores in Toronto. The best shopping areas are Danforth Avenue, Bloor West, Queen Street West,the Beach area and Younge Street Theme Parks: There are 2 theme parks in Toronto: There is a small one on Center Island in on the Toronto Islands. It is fairly small are perfuct for 2 and 4 year olds. If is cheaper than the bigger one I am about to menthion. The next one is Canada's Wonderland it is a huge amusment park in the suburbs it is dozens of fun rides for you kids. Have fun in Toronto, there is so much to do in the city and you will never be board. Check out the festivals as well there is one going on almost everyday in the summer.

You may want to also venture into Niagara Falls (stay on the Canadian side). You have Marineland there, the falls, and many other side attractions like Ripley's Believe It Or Not, Wax Museum. Into gambling? There is Casino Niagara. It's 90 minutes away from Toronto in the event you get all "Torontoed" out. Though that's going to be pretty difficult to do since Toronto has a lot going on.

The Science Centre
Canada's Wonderland
Ontario Place
CN Tower
Canadian National Exhibition
If you're interested in shopping or just looking at different stores, try walking down Yonge Street or around Queen's Quay (expensive).
There are many parks to visit ie. Don Valley, High Park (west TO), The Beaches (east TO)
There is a great area of restaurants and theatres around King and Queen Streets (can't remember the name of the area)
St. Lawrence Market is open early in the morning on weekends and that's always interesting.
Hope you have a great time. It's a beautiful city.
