Go Visit the Shooting Range
I don’t know about you, but MY very Texan father loves going to the shooting range. He doesn’t do it often, but when he does he considers it a treat. Do something different and take your dad to the range with you! As far as Fathers Day activities goes, this is one he will love.
While I wish I could provide recommendations of where to go, I have absolutely no idea. This Texan has only been shooting once, and it was in Seattle!
Go Fishing On the Lake
Spend the day in the sun and out in the lake with your dad! A fishing trip is probably just what the doctor ordered for Father’s Day activities. Check out some of these lakes near you for a fishing day:
Dallas: Check out Lake Grapevine, Lake Ray Hubbard (my dads fav), or White Rock Lake
Austin: Check out Quarry Lake, the Barton Creek Greenbelt, or really anywhere on Town Lake
Houston: Check out Lake Anahauc, McGovern Lake, or Mary Jo Peckham Park

Attend a Sporting Event That He Loves
Check out what local games are happening now! I know for a fact the Texas Rangers have a Fathers Day game, but don’t forget to check out local minor league teams and MLS games! No matter how big or small, your dad will enjoy getting to yell at the opposing team.
Visit His Favorite Local Museums
If my dad had his way, he would spend all day every day in different history museums. So on Fathers Day, we usually let him drag us to his favorites and we pretend to listen and pay attention!
Dallas: Check out the Fort Worth History Museum, Perot Museum, Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey, or the George Bush Presidential Museum
Austin: Check out the Texas State History Museum, LBJ Center, Blanton Museum, or Harry Ransom Center
Houston: Check out the Houston Science Museum, Holocaust Museum Houston, or Museum of Fine Arts

Get Crazy By Going Skydiving
Anyone else have a thrill loving dad? Do something crazy and different for him this Fathers Day! Fine your nearest (or real skydiving if you’re crazy like that) and surprise him with an adventure for Fathers Day!
Get in the Southern Spirit with Rodeos + Two Stepping
If you’re in the Dallas Fort Worth area, then spend the day exploring Fort Worth together! Check out my Fort Worth Guide for my favorite spots. Make sure you explore the Stockyards, then hit the Rodeo afterwards, and end it off with some country music at Billy Bobs!
Become Speed Racers Together
Got a car loving dad that is all into Indy and Formula, then maybe do something related to that! If you’re up in Dallas, then check out the Texas Motor Speedway and the ride-along’s they offer! If you’re in Austin, then check out the ride-along’s available at the Circuit of the Americas!

Go On a Zipling Adventure
Go an adventurous mom out there? My dad is actually is a huge adrenaline junkie (I swear we would go skydiving if my mom would promise not to kill us herself afterwards). This is an awesome outdoor gift to do together if your dad happens to love being outdoors too.
