10 Father’s Day Activities to Make the Day Memorable

As June 19 looms around the corner, many start to fret about how to celebrate such a special date. After all, this is a day we show our love and appreciation to a man turned hero. This day is about one of the most important figures in our life - An entrepreneur, a CPO (chief parenting officer), the Executive head of the family; this day is about none other than our Dad.

Sure, there are tons of activities that you can do to celebrate Father's Day, but if you are running out of ideas on how to spend it with your number one guy, we have the Father's Day activities that can help this year be more memorable.

Here are 10 things you should definitely try this coming Father's Day:

1. Road trip

The truth is, the destination isn't really important when you're on a family trip. It's the bond that the whole family shares while in the car. The deep conversations, listening to favorite tunes, favorite sport, or the Dad jokes shared throughout the afternoon, traveling during Father's day is one great way to bond with our hero.

2.  Rent a Karaoke

There's no doubt that Filipinos are known for singing, and when there's Karaoke (and perhaps some drinks), trust that everyone will have an entry. Make your Dad unleash his inner rockstar by handing him the mic and letting him enjoy his favorite tunes.

3. Go to a Photo Studio

What better way to make Father's day memorable than capturing the moment itself. Put a timestamp on fleeting moments by taking  your Dad, grandfather, and uncles to a photo studio, or better try the new self-photography studios, where you have creative freedom to take your own photos and choose what  you want to print and keep close your heart.

4. Play Pool and Bowling

If you know competitiveness runs in your blood, heading to a bar or gaming center to play a round of pool and bowling is one way to spend the day. You can even order drinks or some food while playing.

5. Hiking

If your Dad is more of a corporate guy, you definitely need to take him to a serene spot, where you can enjoy the view and take a break from the city life. Every now and then, we need to isolate ourselves from stress, and you can never go wrong with nature.

6. Watch a Movie

If the budget is limited, a movie marathon is still a great way to make Father's day special. Spend the day watching your favorite movies or catching up with ongoing series in the comfort of your own home. Make sure to buy snacks and drinks beforehand.

7. Amusement Park

If it's a thrilling adventure you're looking for, then an amusement park is excellent for daredevil dads. You can enjoy different rides while still getting to bond with the family.

8. Bake a cake

Nothing else spells celebration better than a cake; make it more special by baking it yourself. You can try Bakebe, a new modern baking wonderland in SM Aura & Megamall, where you can bake a delicious and instagrammable pastry with your Dad. 

9. Mystery Manila (Escape Room)

Up for a challenge? Test your detective skills by participating in an escape room. Get ready to put your brains in the mettle (and perhaps your bond too) by solving different mysteries, murder cases, and puzzles.

10. Go to the beach

If you just want to chill, perhaps going to the beach is more suitable for the family. Enjoy the sun and the ocean, pack your food, and go for a picnic by the sea. Perfect for taking pictures to reminisce in many more years of love.

Showing our appreciation to our Dad should not be limited to one day. Life is short; let your loved one know that you treasure them in the deepest part of your heart. Whatever activity you choose above, just know that your Dad will highly appreciate the thought and love you put into it.
