Father’s Day is Sunday, June 18, and we’re here to make sure you can celebrate accordingly with these 10 suggestions.

Get playful with pops

If your dad is in the mood to get active or try something new, we recommend:

  • Columbus Axe Throwing — Get the adrenaline going by throwing axes at a target (with professional safety measures in place, of course).
  • X-Golf Columbus — Work on your golf game together with an indoor golf simulator.
  • Idea Foundry Columbus — Learn to make coasters and bottle openers at the Father’s Day Make-And-Take with snacks and drinks provided.
  • Free fishing weekend — Head to any of the public waters in Ohio without the need for a fishing license.
  • CoGo Bike Share — Rent bikes and explore trails throughout the city.
