5 Unique Experiences for Father’s Day in Tampa Bay
Growing up, Father’s Day was usually celebrated very simply in my family. A homemade card, Bugs Bunny reruns or an old Western on TV, and a meal at his favorite restaurant was enough to make my father happy. But every now and then, we would plan something special – a splurge that made him feel truly appreciated.
For those times when you're looking to go beyond the everyday and celebrate the fathers in your life with a memorable gift or experience, here are five elevated ways to do just that in the Tampa Bay area.
And remember, no matter what you choose to do this Father's Day, don’t forget the homemade card!
1 Indoor Skydiving
Dads and kids alike can experience the sensation of skydiving just a few feet off the ground. Indoor skydiving at iFly Tampa is a cool gift for the guy who likes thrills. And those that don’t want to fly can watch all the fun from the sidelines.

2 museum tickets
A visit to The Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg offers an interesting day of art and culture for the father who appreciates creativity and conversation. If Dad is not familiar with this quirky artist and his surrealist paintings, or even if he is, he’ll want to check out the Dalí Alive 360°, an immersive presentation of Dalí’s life and work. You can even pair the tickets with a meal at their stylish waterfront café to complete your art-filled Father’s Day gift.

3 Resort weekend
People come from all over the world to vacation here in Tampa Bay. Why not spend Father's Day weekend at a premier resort destination right in the heart of Palm Harbor? A mini-vacation at Innisbrook Resort is the perfect Father's Day treat. No plane ticket required. Included with a stay are loads of activities for your family to enjoy, including tennis courts, water slides, bicycles to go exploring, mini golf, and so much more.

4 Race Car Experience
For a Father’s Day gift he will never forget, book your man a day at The Motor Enclave in Tampa. Designed for speed junkies, this amazing experience puts Dad behind the wheel, both virtually via their state-of-the-art racing simulator, and on a real professional race track. He’ll finish the day riding at top speeds as the passenger to a pro driver on a Formula-1 style circuit .

5 wine and dine membership
Cooper's Hawk is one of my favorite restaurants, so I had to include it on this list. By gifting Dad a membership to the Cooper’s Hawk Wine Club, he will be sent an exclusive bottle of wine each month, which is a nice gift in itself. But the reason this gift is so amazing is that it comes with access to the Wine Club Dinners held each month at Cooper's Hawk Restaurant in Tampa. These themed dining experiences (July's theme is Summer in Sicily… yum!) include 4 gourmet courses, each with it's own wine or cocktail paring, and are only open to members of the Wine Club.
