Here's a list of fun activities guaranteed to give you and your dad some great quality time.

Looking for something special to give your dad this Father’s Day? Well one of the best gifts you can give someone is your time. So go ahead, spend the day spoiling him for a change. Here’s our idea of some fun dad time.

Golf or Mini Golf

Fathers enjoy a little healthy competition with their children so hit the course for a round of golf or the driving range. Golf courses have everything you need for a good day: it’s outdoors, you ride around in a golf cart and there’s good food. You can also try mini golf. An outdoor game or a game of glow-in-the-dark indoor mini golf will guarantee a good time.

Catch a Game

If your dad doesn’t like playing sports maybe he likes watching them. Catch a basketball game, a soccer match or cricket. If that’s not possible, go to a sports bar. Wings, beer, catching a game together and rooting for the same team (or not) is a great bonding experience.

Auto Racetrack or Go-Karting

This is for the adventurous dad who loves fast cars and racing. Auto racetracks are equipped with a variety of cars, even exotic ones, and you can choose how many laps you would like to take. It will make dad feel like a NASCAR driver for the day and make for an unforgettable Father’s Day experience. If the auto racetrack is out of your budget or too far, try go-karting.

Lunch and Movie

Grab lunch and hit the theatre with your movie buff dad. June is the beginning of the summer blockbuster movie season, so you shouldn’t have a hard time choosing a flick. If you find it hard connecting with your father or are nervous about what to talk about, go to the movie first and grab a bite after, at least then you can always talk about the film.

Bowling and Wings

Perfect for the low-key dad who doesn’t like a big fuss, arrange a family bowling night with pizza and wings and lots of laughter.
