Museums, etc.

Royal Ontario Museum (with the edgy facade) had a great Mesopotamia exhibit, with many stunning pieces from the British Museum.

The Ontario Science Center had a video game exhibit with dozens of games available to play for free -- including pinball machines and the original Asteroids. 

Casa Loma is the castle-like estate built in the early 1900s by an industrialist who helped bring electric lights to Toronto.  The place and his story (ten years after it was finished, he was broke and had to leave it) are both fascinating.
