What are suggestions of things to do in Quebec City? My family has been to the Citadel. Is a tour of Hotel Frontenac fun? Is taking the Funicular basically a tourist trap?

Haven't been...YET! But speaking as an 82 year old, I don't feel the funicular is a tourist trap. It is a necessity for many, especially in going up, if not going down.
Things I want to do/see when I get there....Ile d'Orleans, Notre Dame Basilica, Basilica of Ste. Anne de Beaupre, Plains of Abraham (and the Citadel, which you have seen), the Royal 2nd Regiment Band, Petit Champlain Street, a ferry ride, Literary and Historical Society at the Morrin Center, the Huron-Wendat Museum and Cultural Center, strolling around old Quebec City, and a drink or tea or aperitif at the Chateau Frontenac. Also, some yummy food (or so I've heard!), throughout the city.
Take your pick.
Enjoy!

I adore Quebec City.
If you have a car Montmorency Falls, a drive around Ile d'Orleans and a visit to Basilica of Saint-Anne-de-Beaupre are all worth a visit.
QC also has wonderful walking trails such as Parc Lineaire and Promenade Samuel-De-Champlain.
