Today is Father’s Day, an occasion for people to celebrate their dads with gifts, food, and family gatherings. The occasion is a relatively informal one, so celebrations tend to be low-key, but what if you want to do something a little bit more exciting and out of the box this year to celebrate Dad? Try the five unique Father’s Day celebration ideas below to impress Dad this year.

A state or national park adventure

If you’re within striking distance of a state or national park, take Pop out for a warm-weather walk along beautiful paths lined with trees and remarkable nature. A park visit of this caliber is more than just taking the family to a local park for a picnic or BBQ—state and national parks can offer hiking activities, kayaking and other water options, and breathtaking sights that can make for an unforgettable Father’s Day.

A brewery hop

Your dad, like many dads, might enjoy a cold beer or two over dinner or a sports game. Father’s Day is thus not an uncommon time for people to take their dads to bars and pubs, so take this idea a step further. Plot out a full-day schedule of brewery visits so Dad can try finely-crafted beers of all types in plenty of new and exciting settings. Most breweries also serve amazing snack and meal options, so a brewery day can also mean tons of great food for you and Dad.

A guided tour — any guided tour

Does your dad like art? Surprise him with tickets to a guided tour at a nearby art museum. If he’s into science, do the same for a local science museum. Take this idea to the next level by finding tours for nearby nature preserves, historically significant neighborhoods, and the like. If your dad has a longstanding hobby or interest, there’s almost certainly a tour experience for it.

A surprise potluck

Dinner with the family is one thing. But a surprise feast with all your dad’s friends? Now that’s a night he’ll never forget. Invite your dad’s friends over after any celebrations they might be having, and get your own friends in on the night — since they love you, ask them to share their gratitude to your dad for bringing you into this world and raising you well. A cake with a custom message on it for Dad could be a nice touch, too.

A game night

Many a childhood is defined by game night. Bring this tradition into adulthood for Father’s Day in a way that reminds your dad of those nights you spent together as a kid playing chess, Monopoly, or some other beloved board, card, or strategy game. You might discover that board games can be as fun an adult activity as they are a way for kids to stay entertained and busy while learning and growing. You’ll certainly show how much you appreciate your father’s influence on your earliest years.
