Axe throwing is a unique, affordable, and action-filled activity that’s perfect for anyone who wants to improve their throwing skills.
Orlando is home to a variety of axe throwing venues, all of which encourage group play and friendly competition.
One playful spot for axe throwing is Bananas’ Axe Cabana, a nearby tropical-inspired destination “where axes meet aloha.”
Why settle for a standard target when you can have your pick of 18 exciting axe throwing games?
Challenge Dad to a game of Battleship, Wheel of Fortune, or Tic-Tac-Toe, all played with axes.
Dad can even enjoy a craft beer or a glass of wine while he lets you win (or vice versa).
3. A Visit to the Orlando Auto Museum
Did you know that Orlando is home to one of the world’s largest collections of cars?
If Dad is a gearhead (or just a fan of cars), plan a visit to the Orlando Auto Museum, located in Dezerland Park on International Drive.
The Orlando Auto Museum showcases over 2,000 vehicles valued at $200 million, displayed throughout over 20 themed rooms.
Explore iconic vehicles from TV shows and movies, including several authentic Batmobiles in person.
Peruse the world’s largest collection of 007 James Bond movie cars, aircraft, and memorabilia.
View cars from around the world and back in time, including Oldsmobile models from the Gatsby era.
This is the perfect place for history buffs and auto lovers alike to see firsthand how much cars have changed over time.
4. A Self-Care Day at Beer Spa Orlando
If Dad could use a little rest and relaxation, send him to Beer Spa Orlando.
Here, he can enjoy a European-style thermal soak in a warm tub infused with the same natural ingredients you might find in a classic beer, like hops.
Dad can sip on unlimited beer (or wine!) on tap as his skin soaks in the antioxidants released from the hops, leaving him with a hydrated, rejuvenated glow.
A visit to the beer spa also offers benefits like better circulation, muscle relaxation, and of course, a mood boost.
Beer Spa Orlando also has a sauna for an extra indulgent experience.
Book Dad a solo soak, or join in on the fun; most rooms have multiple tubs for a social experience, should you choose to spend Father’s Day together.
5. Indulge Dad’s Inner Geek
You love your dad for all his quirks and interests.
For some dads, the Star Wars franchise represents a meaningful nostalgia that has become a rite of passage to be shared with their kids.
If your dad is a Star Wars enthusiast, there’s no better place to celebrate him than Galaxy’s Edge, the Star Wars-themed world at Walt Disney World® Resort’s Hollywood Studios.
Here, you can join Dad on a mission to escape a First Order Star Destroyer or help him fly the famed Millennium Falcon.
Splurge and treat him to an experience where he can build a custom lightsaber or droid to bring the magic and mystique of Galaxy’s Edge home with him.
Indulge Dad and let him be a kid again as you explore a realm of fantasy that he’s only ever imagined.
6. Father’s Day Dinner at Cala Bella
Dad deserves an incredible dinner in his honor.
Treat him to a meal at Cala Bella, the farm-to-table Mediterranean-inspired restaurant located in Rosen Shingle Creek.
Our chefs have curated a menu utilizing the freshest Florida ingredients, including locally and sustainably farmed meats like lamb, chicken, and pork.
Your dish will likely also include fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruit grown in the Rosen Shingle Creek onside garden, Emma’s Creekside Farm.
Pair your meal with a special wine or signature cocktail to take your experience to the next level.
This Father’s Day at Cala Bella, Dad’s entrée is free off with the purchase of another entrée of equal or lesser value.
5. A Day at the Golf Course

Shingle Creek Golf Club is home to a luxury golf course designed by the Arnold Palmer Design Company.
Our 18-hole course is surrounded by acres of rich Florida wildlife for a game that’s as scenic as it is entertaining.
