You still have local second-run theaters where those still exist, plus parks and playgrounds where those haven't been ruined yet, and depending on where you live, there may even be various art/craft places to hang out at, splatter-painting places included in that, and some of the nicer parts of the country even have interactive museums that are kid-friendly (as in actually interactive, like the patrons can actually interact and play with the exhibits there).
Aside from those, yeah, there isn't much for kids to do.
sarcasm, but also not really if you're in a *really* low-income part of the country where there really *isn't* anything to do, think of places like Appalachia for a good example of that extremeNot in the suburban shithole I grew up in (late gen z)
You're still ignoring the core problem in that children can't do any of those things by themselves anymore and all of them cost some amount of money with the exception of playgrounds and parks. Growing up the closest one to me was about a 30 minute drive so I would never be able to get myself there.
So all you have to do is for everyone to move to a better neighbourhood, problem solved.
Sarcasm aside, in my neighbourhood there where some attempts to get together. Then people started complaining about eachother. Now at most a neighbour may wave back when i wave at them.
That's screwed, and most of the places I mentioned, are generally in cities/towns that are pretty well off, as I mentioned in that 'sarcasm, but not really' disclaimer, places like Appalachia are truly screwed in that regard, and also your situation.
