5 Fun Ways to Spend Father’s Day with Dad

Every year in May we celebrate our moms and all the wonderful things they do for us every day. Just a few short weeks later, we celebrate the other most important person in our lives: our fathers. A whole day is dedicated to our dad (or other father figure) to shower them with cards, gifts and meaningful time spent together.

It’s always fun to do something special on fathers day and this year should be no different. Here are 5 great ideas for how you can spend the day with dad…

For the “Athletic Dad”

This year spend the day with your father running a 5k, but this is not your ordinary 5k – it’s a virtual 5k. How is that possible? You may be wondering what that is: it’s a 5k where you can start whenever you want and you can run wherever you want. All you have to do is time your self and send your times back to the people at virtual racers. They will send you over a racing bib and a medal and the shipping of those to you for the entry fee of $18. For more information and to sign up click here.  

For the “Animal Lover Dad”

You can choose from one of three 2-hour brunch slots (8 am, 10:30 am and 1 pm) and enjoy food, live music, & drinks. BONUS: Every father gets a free Bloody Mary! The cost is $45 and of course, you can visit the free zoo after or before your meal. Click here for more information and to get your tickets.
