1. Outdoor Adventures
Hiking and Nature Walks: Is your dad an outdoorsy person? Give your dad the opportunity to hike with you in his favourite location. Ask him what he likes and where he would love to hike. Check out the local trails and nature reserves. Even if it’s a walk around the city or checking out the local vineyards, if your Dad enjoys it, be there for him. Take your time to bond with Dad all while experiencing the invigorating bliss of nature.
Fishing Trips: Most Aussie dads would love their fishing sessions. Why not plan a trip to a nearby lake or river? Pack all the essential fishing gear, a pack of beers, some nibbles, two cosy chairs and some sandwiches for later. Engage in meaningful conversations and reflect on your previous fishing memories with Dad.
Camping: This would be a perfect Father’s Day trip but your dad feels all man-sy again. Select your dad’s favourite camping spot whether it’s the National Park or even out at your grandma’s country home. Pack in a tent, fire essentials, barbecue meat, some good drinks, and maybe a telescope for stargazing!
2. Sporting Activities
Golfing: If your dads are posh and glamorous, taking him to the local golf course for a good round of golf would be a perfect Father’s Day celebration. Whether your dad is a seasoned golfer or even a rookie loving the sport, we believe this would be a great experience to bond and perhaps laugh together.
Cycling: Why not get the cycles out and go for a few laps around the park for old times’ sake? Remind your dad of the times when he first taught you how to ride a bike. From a three-wheeler to a bicycle, your dad has always been there with you. Embrace this active session to bond with your dad.
Attending a Sports Event: Is your dad all about AFL? Take your dad to the next live game to embrace his fan moments this September. Share the energy and the excitement of the crowd with your dad and watch him cheer for his favourite team.
3. Creative Projects
Art and Craft: We believe all our dads have a secret superpower to fix things. So art and craft is a sure skill! Get your dad to reveal his sacred art and craft skills by taking him to an art class. This can be anything from working on wood, painting on a canvas together, creating a vase or a pot for mom and local pottery centre or even simply giving old furniture life at the community centre. Whatever you choose to do, get crafty!
Cooking or Baking: If your dad loved to cook his own meals or bake, why not spend the day cooking or baking indoors? You can choose to bake a cake together or a new batch of oatmeal cookies. If you would like to extend your thoughtfulness, why not prepare a few meals for the local shelters? Your dad is never going to forget this Father’s Day!
Gardening: Isn’t gardening fun, especially when you do it with dad? Get the rakes and the garden gloves out because it is going to be muddy this Father’s Day. Signify the bond you share with your dad by sowing some seeds that would blossom into beautiful treats over the years; just like your bond with your dad.
4. Cultural Experiences
Museum or Art Gallery Visits: If you would like to reflect on the many memories that you created with your dad exploring museums, art galleries and planetariums this Father’s Day, why not just do that? Reflect on the past times with your dad all while discussing and learning about your favourite exhibit from then and now. Remember to throw in some intellectually stimulating jargon and check your dad’s memory of the local history!
Concerts or Theatre Shows: If your dad’s all about theatrics why not take him to the theatre in town to watch his favourite play or comedy show? You can also take him to his favourite singer’s concert to sing his lungs out. If that still doesn’t work, check out the latest movies premiering in all the top cinemas around Australia. Bond, cheer, sway and enjoy every moment with your dad!
Historical Tours: Australia’s got a rich history that most of our old pops are quite proud of. Why not give your dad the most awaited historical tour around your city? You can also do a little research before you settle on a destination. Choose a landmark with a little mystery and a history in it. Make it educational, engaging, mysterious and certainly memorable!
5. Relaxing Activities
Spa Day: Don’t we all appreciate some time off our daily routine? Why not give your dad a relaxing spa day this Father’s Day and enjoy everything from body massages to facials, manicures, pedicures, saunas and even Jacuzzis!
