Ready for some old-fashioned fun with Dad? Here are 7 timeless Father’s Day date ideas for you to try out this month.

 

7 Classic Father’s Day Date Ideas for Dads in the Philippines

1. Take Dad on a Night Out

You’ll be surprised at how exciting it can be to explore the city’s best eats with Dad! Try touring Dad around Tomas Morato if you’re in Metro Manila, and get a glimpse of where all the kids hang out these days. Or if he prefers food over booze, go on a food trip along Maginhawa. This is also a great excuse to treat Dad to some samgyupsal or artisan coffee if he’s game for it!

2. Go Fishing Together

There’s a very good reason many TV dads end up on fishing trips with their kids. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy what nature has to offer, and it gives dads a prime chance to share bits of wisdom. Plus, there’s nothing quite like the joy of pulling in your very first catch.

Two popular fishing spots are La Mesa Ecopark in Quezon City and Kap. Larry’s Pond in Valenzuela. Take note that you can rent rods at the La Mesa Ecopark, but you need to bring your own to Kap. Larry’s Pond.

3. Give Go-Karting a Shot

Does Dad have a daredevil streak in him? Circuit Makati has the perfect Father’s Day Date in store for you. Get behind the wheel of a sleek go-kart and take it for a spin! You can go on a good-natured race with Dad or cheer him on as he tries to beat his own lap times.

TIP: Secure slots by reserving early. There’ll be many other dads and kids going on Father’s Day go-karting dates together with you!

4. Fly a Kite or Two

Relive your simpler days with this Father’s Day date idea. Store-bought kites are fine, but it can be fun to watch Dad build a kite from scratch with materials at home. Then, throw a family picnic and bring out the kites!

Any open area will do. But if Dad enjoys iconic backdrops, you can take the family to Fort Santiago, Tagaytay Picnic Grove, or the UP Diliman Sunken Garden for some good old kite-flying.

5. Go on a Shopping Spree

Fathers are often asked to hold bags or wait for other members of the family. But they have their favorite shops and wishlists, too! If you have the budget for it, why not visit Dad’s favorite stores?

Start with menswear brands or gadget hubs and see where you end up. Who knows, you might find out that you got your love for pocketbooks, leather shoes, or Swiss knives from Dad!

6. Treat Dad to a Spa Day

Here’s an idea that dads and moms will both love. Years of carrying kids, pushing furniture around, and bending over or reaching up may have taken their toll on Dad’s back. This means Dad will surely appreciate a spa day for his tired muscles!

TIP: Keep an eye out for promos at Dad and Mom’s favorite spas. Some places offer Father’s Day packages and discounts for dads who go with their families.

7. Book a Staycation

The best hotels in the metro offer royal treatment to their valued guests. With a staycation, Dad can experience the life of a king even for a day or two! Check out the Bellevue Manila’s Father’s Day promo which includes Enchanted Kingdom ticket discounts, or the Fantastic Father’s Room Package from F1 Hotel Manila.

Depending on the hotel you choose, you can combine the staycation with other date ideas. Many hotels have spas and shuttle services to nearby malls, for example.
