Father\u2019s Day is fast approaching so put away the \u201choney do\u201d list, tell the trash take itself out, and let the grass grow. One size doesn\u2019t fit all when it comes to gift-giving: there are the tech dads, the golf dads, the cooking dads, the sports dads, and the dads that would love to spend the whole day with their feet up with a cold beer in hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then there are the on-the-go dads. These are the guys who can\u2019t stop moving. The men who come home after a long day at work and chase the kids around the house, tinker with their latest project in the garage, or try a new marinade on the grill. For the adventurous family man out there with boundless energy, we\u2019ve created a list of Father\u2019s Day activities he\u2019s sure to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Top 10 Father’s Day Ideas for the Adventurous Dad<\/h2>\n

1. The Guided Fishing Trip<\/h3>\n

If you live near a river, lake, or the ocean, consider a guided fishing tour. Even the hobbyist can rent all the necessary equipment including a boat and a guide for a day. A fishing day trip would make a great joint gift for a group of dads or the entire family could enjoy a day on the water.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Camping<\/h3>\n

That camping trip he\u2019s always wanted to take with the family? This might be the time to throw it together for a night or a weekend at a local park. If your kiddos are too little to make the trek, a cookout and camping in the backyard would be a blast as well. Don\u2019t forget to unplug, play some board games, and stay up late eating s\u2019mores of course.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Go Kart Racing<\/h3>\n

For the man with a need for speed a family Go Kart trip would make a great gift. Or leave the kids at home and challenge your hubby to a little 1-on-1. He\u2019ll definitely be surprised.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Laser Tag<\/h3>\n

Let him feel like a kid again with a few round of laser tag. The family can play as a team or split up and get competitive. If this isn\u2019t something you\u2019ve done before, we can assure you you\u2019ll be back again. Even the more buttoned-up members of your family won\u2019t be able to help but let loose and enjoy a little childish fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Brewery Tour<\/h3>\n

For the beer-loving papa, it doesn\u2019t get much better than a brewery tour. Tours include a behind-the-scenes look at the equipment, barrel aging facility, and in some cases a chat with a brewer. All tours have samples and most have food of some sort. The best part is that breweries are very family oriented and kid-friendly, so there\u2019s no need to get a sitter. <\/span><\/p>\n

6. Amusement Park<\/h3>\n

An amusement park, county fair, or carnival are perfect Father\u2019s Day activities for the man who loves to act like a kid with his kids. Ride roller coasters, compete for prizes at game booths, and eat cotton candy until you feel a little sick — it\u2019s all part of the experience! By the day\u2019s end your family will have created lasting memories.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Batting Cages<\/h3>\n

If dad was a jock in high school consider a Father\u2019s Day activity where he can show off his skills. A trip to the batting cages, driving range, or day passes to a nearby field house for soccer or basketball would be a great way for him to blow off steam and unwind. <\/span><\/p>\n

8. Road Trip<\/h3>\n

Does he always talk about that road trip he took in college? Plan a weekend getaway to a nearby location. Whether it\u2019s just the two of you or the family, make it extra special by renting a classic car or one that would be fun for him to drive. <\/span><\/p>\n

9. Glow Golf<\/h3>\n

Miniature golf is fun and all, but have you tried glow golf? Some states have indoor miniature golf that glows in the dark for a fun, disorienting, challenge. This is another Father\u2019s Day activity that the kids will really enjoy with their dad. Plus it gives your man a chance to work on his short game.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Sporting Event (but not the ones you’re thinking of)<\/h3>\n

Tickets to professional games are expensive and require quite a bit of advanced planning, usually with some travel involved. If you\u2019re not able to or interested in going that big, consider other sporting events that might be local and fun for dad. Minor league baseball, horse racing, or a local roller derby league could all make for fun and memorable Father\u2019s Day outings.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of such an adventurous day, dad\u2019s going to want to relax. Surprise him with a new <\/span>robe<\/span><\/a> or comfortable <\/span>pajamas<\/span><\/a> before he settles in for the night. <\/span>For more gift ideas or inspiration for family activities, visit us at <\/span><\/i>thepajamacompany.com\/blog<\/span><\/i><\/a>. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
