Sometimes your perfect Father’s Day needs more than a well-thought-out gift. But what are your options if you want to plan a unique activity with your dad? Let’s look at 20 of them!
1. Have A Game’s Day
Is your dad into board games? Well, Father’s Day is a great time to indulge in his favorites. He might enjoy it even more if other family members get involved.
2. Go On A Road Trip
Seeing the sights is a great way to relax. Is there somewhere your father has always wanted to visit or hasn’t been in a long time? Road trip!
3. Taste A Drink Or Two
Okay, this one is for the alcohol connoisseurs out there and you can take two different approaches. You can go to a planned event or make your own. The beauty of planning your own tasting session is that there’s no limit to what you can try or how much fun you can incorporate.
4. Plan A Backyard Barbecue
This can be a great activity for the whole family or just a nice time to fire up the grill. If he enjoys cooking, you can supply all the meat and put everything together. You may also turn things around and do all the cooking for him as an exciting surprise.

19. Take Him To A Museum Of His Choice
Dads don’t always have the time or company to visit the museums that have caught their eye, so yours will definitely appreciate it if you take them where they’d like to go.
20. Try Out A Rage Room
Do you feel like you and your dad could blow off some steam? That sounds like a good reason to break stuff in a rage room.
The great thing about this list is that you can personalize an activity to your dad’s interests. You can make Father’s Day extra special by combining several activities or events and making it a day he’ll remember for years to come.
