Father’s Day is on Sunday.  Yes, this Sunday.  We know it’s a challenge to find a new way to celebrate the holiday with him. Sure, you could grill up some meat, or buy him a power tool. But why not spend some time with him and make a memory?

Take him on a bike ride

Bay Area residents are bestowed with beautiful rolling hills and an environment that's worthy of exploration. Weather.com says Sunday will probably be about 75°F, with partly cloudy skies and zero chance of rain.  Sounds like a great day to get outside and go for a ride to me.

Watch improv at Dragon Theatre

So technically this event is on Saturday. But it starts pretty late. If all goes well, you’ll slide right into Sunday morning and not even notice.

The shows are interactive, short theatrical scenes that are inspired by the audience.  Find out more about the show by visiting our event calendar.

 

Get a bit of Motown in yo town over dinner

Dine, and maybe even dance, with dad during a Father’s Day event at Angelica’s in Redwood City, California. A group called Top Shelf will be performing at 7 p.m.  Tickets start at $20, which gets you a tble.  You can order food and drinks for an additional cost. 

For another $8, you can try out that new valet parking system the city started this year.  Get tickets here.

 

Go classic with golf karts and mini golf


For a family-friendly, go karts and mini golf experience with dad, take dad to Malibu, where he can play for free on both Saturday and Sunday.  You need to fill out an online coupon and bring it with you.  Find that here


Ride a horse through the woods

Wunderlich Park in Woodside, California is home to Folger Stable, namesake of the coffee baron.  Children and adults can ride horses through the trails that curl through the majestic trees in the calm quiet of the woods.   You will need to call the stables to reserve a horse.  Visit Bay Area Equestrian Connection’s Website for more details.
