The sun is shining, temperatures are climbing and flowers (and allergies) are blooming. All signs that summer is on its way. That also means it's almost time for Father's Day celebrations. Now, I'm sure dad loves all of those ties and #1 Dad mugs you've bought him through the years, but maybe it's time to step up your game. Here are a few things you can do with your dad, in and around Providence, that will put all those ties to shame.
What better gift for your outdoor loving dad? Take a narrated daytime tour or sunset cruise with the Providence River Boat Company through the Providence River, RiverWalk, Waterplace Park and Providence Harbor. Better yet, you can BYOB. Space is limited, so make your reservations soon. Find out more >
If dad's a video game lover, you will definitely win some brownie points with this! Book some time at Base Station VR Lounge and let him fight off zombies, become a ninja, defeat robot invaders, and so much more, all in 3D. Reservations must be made in advance. Find out more >
Whether your dad is an avid kayaker or just loves to try new things, a Providence Kayak Company tour or rental is a fun way to get out and enjoy the day together. You'll need to book your rental ahead of time online. Find out more >
