10 Father's Day Activities Your Dad Will Love
Blog icon
Coming up with things to do on Father's Day can be difficult, especially if your father — like most others — is hard to shop for and never really asks for much. Instead of wasting money on boring gifts like a tie, get creative and have some Father's Day fun this year by enjoying an activity with your dad. At CreditBox, we put together a list of 10 of our favorite ideas.
1. Explore Golf Courses
If your dad loves to play golf, use Father's Day as an excuse to check some new golf courses. Splurge a little on one of the fancier golf courses in your area, or take a little weekend trip to a course he's always dreamed of playing.
2. Try New Grilling Ideas
Your dad may be the king of the grill, but today is the day to let him sit back while you experiment with your own grilling ideas. Make a menu with his favorite foods, or check out sites like Pinterest for new grilling ideas you can try as a family.
3. Rent the Car of His Dreams
Is there a certain type of car your dad has always dreamed of driving but can't afford to own? Rent it for the weekend and have some Father's Day fun. Take a road trip or just go for a Sunday drive.
4. Work on a Project Around the House Together
When you're thinking up things to do on Father's Day, they don't have to be about pampering your dad. He may prefer a little help around the house. Give him a hand with that landscaping project he's been thinking about or help him finally fix that leaky dishwasher.
5. Take a Scenic Hike
Does your dad like to explore? Find a state or national park near you that you haven't visited before and take a hike.
6. Go Fishing
A fishing trip may not be one of the most unique things to do on Father's Day, but it may be the quiet moment your dad needs. Find a lake in your area known for its fish and take dad out of the house for the day.
7. Take a Class Together
Has your dad always wanted to learn something, like an instrument, a foreign language, or how to cook? There is no time like the present. Sign up for a class and learn together.
8. Get Away for the Weekend
Take dad for a weekend getaway to a city he's never visited or one he hasn't seen in years. Make sure you cover all the meals and lodging.
9. Head Out to a Ballgame
Nothing says Father's Day fun like a trip to the ballpark. Whether it's a pro, college or high school game, buy tickets for you and your dad to cheer on the local team.
10. Visit a Local Coffee Shop
Grab some coffee and pastries and enjoy some time together at your local coffee shop. If it’s warm outside, take your coffee to-go and enjoy the outdoors.
