Find a pond with ducks and throw them cracked corn / bread.
Go to any place where he can run and excersise those little legs! Wear him out!
Depending on your living room size and your furniture... contemplate moving it all over and put up one of those 'outdoor' play things Indoors. Might sound kinda crazy... but think of the memories!
Actually, that sounds like so much fun I might do it.
If that's too much... Build a fort with chairs, backs of couches, pillows and big sheets/blankets.
Extended bathtime is always good too! Great time to read a book while you sit in the bathroom and supervise. There are tablets by Crayola that will turn the water colors. Give him bath crayons and lots of toys. A sieve is fun in the water too!
Toss all your pillows on the floor, all your blankets and let him run from one side of the apartment and throw himself on the blankets/pillows. Repeat till exhausted. (It's amazing how long that works... If he starts to get bored... start throwing stuffed animals at him while making animal noises when he lands.)
Have a marshmellow fight with Mini Marshmellows.
Tie his hands behind his back and give him speghetti to eat with no hands.
Put up a HUGE sheet of butcher paper or the back of wrapping paper on a hard floor and let him color. (or wrap him in it like a burrito and let him wiggle out while insisting you are going to eat your Little Burrito)
Good luck! Boys are harder when they are younger but easier than teenage girls!

Go to the playground, walk at the Mall, take him to the park, make a game out of cleaning ( kids like to copy adults), watch for wildlife, do an aerobics tape together, make music (with pots, pans, and coffee cans), paint, draw, collage, the possibilities are endless!

It's best to bring your kid to the park and spend time with him. If this option is not viable for you then invest in some toys that will encourage learning and education such as the ones shown on the links below. The babies brain are developing fast at this stage and you should use this opportunity to help your kid to learn so he will be ahead from the other kids when he started to go to school.
Good Luck!

My Son is 20 months old and he likes to play with cars and trucks and we make forts for him to keep him entertained when its not suitable to play outside
