New England Dads are built different. But if you’re in search of some Father’s Day activities in Boston that’ll make him smile, the options below are sure to impress pops:
When is Father’s Day?
Father’s Day is notoriously on the third Sunday of June each year. This year, Father’s Day falls on Sunday, June 16, 2024!
1. Take him axe throwing
Maybe get dad’s approval for this one first. A new axe throwing club opened in North End. It’s a fun spot to let loose and blow off some steam while testing your aim. After all that energy expedition, fuel up at one of these North End restaurants for the perfect Father’s Day.
2. Try this tech-infused indoor mini golf
Maybe dad’s not too fond of axe throwing. Instead, take him to Puttshack in Seaport or Natick for a fun and competitive round of mini golf. Puttshack uses its notorious trackaball technology, so you and dad can just have fun and let the tech track the score.
3. Or play a round at TopGolf New England
If dad prefers a larger range, TopGolf will do the trick. With two stories and 90-tees, you could easily spend the whole Father’s Day here.
4. Hit the course at the new F1 Arcade
Your dad’s always criticizing your driving, so why not put him in the hot seat for a bit? Take him to the new F1 Arcade for a day of racing, prime views, and yummy food. And let the score finally settle who really is the better driver.
5. Take a private helicopter tour of Boston
Leave the steering up to your captain with Helicopter Tour Boston. Here, you’ll take a spin in a Robinson Helicopter for a 25–45-minute ride in the sky. See Boston like you’ve never seen it before and snap some pics for a memorable adventure.
6. Go camping, without the fuss
Just 90 minutes from Boston is gorgeous nature retreat surrounded by beach, marshes, bike paths, starry night skies, and a quaint downtown. AutoCamp in Falmouth is the ideal Father’s Day treat. You can swim and fish by day, explore Falmouth by bike, and finish the night by cooking dinner and s’mores over the fire. Leave the headache of gear and tent setup at home, all you and dad have to do is show up!
