Going for a walk along the canal path would be nice and, of course, free!!  I'm not sure where the best bits are, but depending on the age of your children, painted boats and various bits of wildlife might be good fun.  Unless you're a country-based family and want to show them urban life!  If that's true - I'm not muchg help.
