4. Spend the Day on the Water
If your dad dreams of being on the water all week long, then Father’s Day weekend is the perfect time to spend the day exploring Florida’s coast. For those who don’t own a vessel, enjoy your time on the water hassle-free with a boat or kayak rental, ready to go with all the necessary gear and safety equipment.
Water loving dads will be thrilled to go paddle boarding or snorkeling in shallow waters, kayaking alongside manatees, or exploring remote islands by boat! Then, wrap up the day by opening up Dad’s favorite drink and watching the sunset over the Gulf Coast together.
5. Cool Down at a Local Museum, Aquarium or Even a Car Show!
Stay cool this Father’s Day by exploring all the nationally recognized art, history, science, and natural life Florida has to offer at a local museum or aquarium! If your dad loves sea creatures, treat him to a special two-for-one admission deal this Father’s Day weekend at The Florida Aquarium.
If he's a huge fan of cars, make his day by taking him to a car show! It's a fantastic opportunity for him to see classic and custom models up close, engage with fellow enthusiasts, and maybe even get some inspiration for his next dream car!
6. Have a BBQ Picnic!
Pack up a cooler with sandwiches, chips, and popsicles, throw the towels in the car and head to the beach or park for a BBQ picnic. Let Dad take a well-deserved break while you help him grill up some scrumptious hot dogs and hamburgers to perfection.
Stir up some fun with a friendly volleyball match or a shell-finding contest. Turn up his favorite music and gather around for some delicious food while enjoying the scenic views and the company of loved ones!
