It is easier to describe a mom - she is loving, caring, nurturing and just knows what you are going through, without having to even tell her anything. But, what can be said about a father? I find it a little complicated, there is so much love hiding in everything your dad has done and has been doing for you, an astounding amount of love and care we cannot even imagine! Well, seize the opportunity this Father's Day to appreciate your dad and thank him for his tremendous love that goes into ensuring your comfort, growth, safety, happiness, independence and whatnot. This year, Father's Day is being celebrated on June 16, 2024. Not sure where to begin? Don't worry, we have the entire day planned, from breakfast to dinner!

Noon/Afternoon: Go Out For Some Shopping And Lunch
Once you are all set to step out, go out for some fun shopping. Take your dad to his favourite store and pamper him by buying a special gift for him. It could be a shirt, a watch, or any cool thing that has been on his shopping list for a while.
Shopping always makes us hungry and it must have been a while since you had that breakfast. Go out for a nice lunch, choosing a cuisine your dad loves the most. If your dad is not in the mood to sit and eat a formal lunch and even the food courts are super crowded, you can get the lunch packed and enjoy it comfortably at home, following it with a nap, if you all want to rest for some time.

Late Afternoon/Evening: Go To A Game Zone Or A Sports Complex
Enough resting, now the evening is here and we are going to make the most of it. If your dad loves gaming, you can go to a gaming zone and enjoy bowling or some thrilling virtual reality (VR) games. You can also head to a trampoline park or enjoy go-karting. If you want to play sports, you can also go to a sports complex and enjoy swimming or a match of badminton, tennis, cricket or any other sport of your choice.
Late Evening/Night: Movie/Karaoke Night And Dinner
The location for the final leg of the day is completely flexible, depending on whether your dad would like to go out or stay at home. No matter what you choose, the plan can be adjusted and would be fantastic for any of the locations. You can watch a movie at a theatre or home, following it with dinner. You can also go out for karaoke or burst the music at home, enjoying a karaoke night singing your dad's favourite songs. If your dad enjoys drinking alcohol, you can drink beer together and have a great time.
