12 fun activities to do when you visit Dad:

Go Fishing

Most Dads love to go fishing! Fishing is a great way to relax and sit beside the water. Enjoy each other’s company and have some good conversation… about the weather.

Watch a baseball game

Take your Dad to a local baseball game or catch one on TV if you aren’t able to make the trip out. Don’t forget the hotdogs!

Go to a car show

Depending on the time of year, there may be a car show nearby. Go check out the classic cars that your Dad will remember from his younger years.

Visit a local museum

If your Dad is a history buff, you may want to find a local history museum. This will be a good time for him to reminisce and share some memories from that time period.

Catch a movie

Is there a new movie out you’d both like to see? If so, don’t forget to get some of that delicious theater popcorn.

Take a trip to his favorite restaurant

Does your Dad have a favorite restaurant? He may not be able to get to it as frequently as he used to. Plan a day and go grab him his favorite dish.

Exercise

Everyone needs a little exercise. Whether you use free weights or exercise bands, take some time to do a little exercise when you are together.

Schedule a game night

Board game or card game? It doesn’t matter what one you prefer. Take some time to plan a game night and enjoy some laughs.

Take a nature walk

Is there a local park or sidewalk close by? Take a quick walk around the block on a sunny day and enjoy the view and sunshine along the way.

Test drive a new car

Who doesn’t love to dream? Everyone loves a nice car. Take your Dad to the local car dealership and test drive his favorite car.

Fly kites

Another way to enjoy the sunny summer days is to fly kites! Make some lemonade and enjoy the breeze while you fly kites with the man you love.

Tell jokes

Do you love a good Dad joke? We are sure your Dad has plenty of jokes left to tell. Sit back and share fun stories that you can laugh about weeks from now.
