Yeah, we know you should ideally celebrate your parents everyday. But there's no harm in planning a day in or a day out with your dad on Father's Day to make them feel a little extra special. It isn't often that most of us plan activities with the parents. And Father's Day, which is on 18 June this year, is absolutely the perfect day to do that. However, this time, lets go beyond boring lunches and dinners.
#Father'sDay: All The Things You Can Do With Your Dad
The information in this post might be outdated
For The Kid-At-Heart Dad
Although he’s a grown up, he’s still a kid at heart and loves to spend time with you, doing fun things together. Just for him, plan a day that involves laser tag at What The Fun or even a fun bowling evening. And if he’s into fast things and speed, how about a trip to Hakone for go-karting! Alternatively, a day at Smaash is just as poppin'. Arcade games, go-karting, bowling—Smaash has got it all.
For The Sentimental Dad
If your dad is the type to reminisce about the good ol' days, you can make his Father’s Day experience full of history and culture. You could decide to do a heritage walk across certain parts of the city that explores the nuances and details of your city. If he’s a fan of certain restaurants that have held fort for many years, may we recommend going to a Britannia and Co for authentic Parsi food? Or maybe Ling's Pavilion? After a good meal, you could even visit some of these historical monuments in the city.
For The Sporty Dad
Is your dad the type who wears his jersey every time his favourite team is about to play? Or the type who knows all his stats by heart and can still beat you at a challenge round? Well, we’ve rounded up a list of some Indoor Games you can play with him since the monsoon has hit the city. While our list is fairly exhaustive, remember to dial up your neighbourhood club/gymkhana and book a slot for this activity. Oh, and please pack water, a towel, and some deo!
For The All-Rounder Dad
If your dad loves music, he can learn how to play the piano with ease, or if you want to surprise him with his favourite musical instrument, here are some stores you can visit. Is he a maven when it comes to trying new things in general? There are many spaces in the city where workshops are conducted every single weekend, like The Pottery Lab. Thanks to us, there's a whole list of 'em.
For the Philanthropic Dad
If dad a philanthropist and wants to help out, these charities are some places you could suggest. We even have a list of places you can go and volunteer at. Take a few dads and their kids along, and your crew could make a big difference... and even a regular activity out of it. If he's an animal lover, we suggest volunteering at AMTM Malad, in that case. But honestly, no matter what type your dad is, he’s going to appreciate your gesture no matter what, so have a blast!
