Father’s Day plans that impress dad | Save 50% at iFLY Indoor Skydiving

Let’s be honest. Dads can be hard to shop for.

They say things like “I don’t need anything”, or “Just a nice cup of tea and I’m happy”—but you know they secretly want something fun. Something unexpected. Something that doesn’t involve another mug with World’s Best Dad printed on it.

This year, you’ve got the chance to break the cycle. Whether he’s into football, food, or flight (we’ll get to that), here’s your guide to Father’s Day plans that he’ll genuinely love. From classic outings to one unforgettable surprise, we’ve ranked the options—from good to absolutely legendary.

The best things to do with dad this Father’s Day

Below are five solid options for Father's Day in the UK—some traditional, some elevated. And then, there’s iFLY Indoor Skydiving: the one that blows everything else away.

1. iFLY Indoor Skydiving – Give dad the gift of flight

📍 Manchester • Basingstoke • Milton Keynes • London (O2)

This is not your average Father’s Day plan.

At iFLY, Dad steps into a powerful skydiving tunnel and experiences the pure, weightless thrill of human flight—without a plane, without a parachute, and without any previous experience.

It’s the most exciting, most memorable, and most talked-about gift you’ll give him this year.

What is iFLY Indoor Skydiving?

• • It’s called air tube flying, but really, it’s the sensation of freefall recreated using vertical wind.
  • It feels like actual skydiving, just done in a wind tunnel near me (or you).
  • It’s all about bodyflight—you float, spin, smile, and experience flight powered by nothing but air.
  • It’s perfect for all fitness levels and ages 3+.

The moment Dad leans into the airflow and lifts off? That’s a memory you both will never forget.

If you’re searching for indoor skydiving near me or wondering about the indoor skydiving experience, this is your sign to book it.

Silence the Dad jokes – up to 50% off—you’re getting premium excitement at a fraction of the indoor skydiving cost.

2. Sunday roast at the local pub

You can’t go wrong with a classic.

A proper roast dinner with all the trimmings is a Father’s Day staple in the UK. Pick his favourite pub, pre-book a table, and let him indulge in beef, Yorkshire puddings, and maybe a cheeky pint.

This is a safe bet for a reason—he gets full, you get brownie points, and there’s no washing up.

3. A stroll through the park & coffee catch-up

Sometimes, simplicity wins.

If your dad prefers a slower pace or you’re looking for something low-cost, plan a casual morning stroll in a local park or nature reserve. Bring coffee, pastries, and some quality chat.

📍 Great picks:

• • Richmond Park, London
  • Heaton Park, Manchester
  • Campbell Park, Milton Keynes
  • Eastrop Park, Basingstoke

It’s thoughtful, relaxing, and gives you uninterrupted time together.

4. Watch the footy together (or cricket, or F1...)

If your dad is glued to the telly every weekend, give him the gift of guilt-free sports watching.

Whether it's the Euros, cricket test matches, or Formula 1, build the day around his favourite sport. Add in some snacks, a drink or two, and let him run commentary all afternoon.

Bonus idea: Recreate stadium snacks at home—think pies, nachos, or a burger bar.

5. Give him a lie-in, a bacon butty, and peace

This one’s simple—and often underrated.

Sometimes what Dad really wants is a quiet morning, a lie-in, and breakfast in bed. Make it special with a handwritten note, a playlist of his favourite songs, and a “no chores allowed today” pass.

👀 Then… surprise him with something a little more adventurous—like, say, a voucher for wind tunnel skydiving near me.

Why iFLY wins Father's Day—hands down

While all these ideas are lovely, only one will make Dad feel like a superhero. And that’s iFLY.

The second he enters the fly tunnel, hovers above the ground, and floats in full flight? He won’t stop smiling.

This experience:

• Creates unforgettable memories
• Makes for brilliant family photo ops
• Works for dads of all ages and fitness levels
• Can be shared—you can fly together
• Comes with a story he’ll tell for years
•  

It’s the perfect gift for the dad who “doesn’t want anything.”
