Father’s Day is right around the corner (Sunday, June 21) and we all wonder what to get dad to make his day extra special. Instead of gifting him a cool gadget he’s been eyeing or another “best dad ever” mug, we’ve got you covered with thoughtful activities and events that will put a smile on his face! From fun museum exhibits to tech-infused mini golf, here are some amazing ways to celebrate your dad in Miami this Father’s Day.
For the dads who have an artistic side, or at least love to get their arts and culture on, you’ll want to take him to this immensely popular museum filled with interactive exhibits. With works by renowned artists like Es Devlin, James Turrell and TeamLab, you’ll both be exploring a breathtaking mirrored maze, enormous digital waterfalls and your very own heartbeats glowing from suspended lightbulbs!
Pamper him with a spa day
Give dad the gift of pure relaxation at the newly debuted 30,000-square-foot Ritz-Carlton Spa in Key Biscayne. This sanctuary features 16 treatment rooms, a Sensory Spa Garden with private cabanas and other restorative spaces. At the center of it all is the complimentary Renewal Ritual, a grounding meditation offered every morning and afternoon.
Or have him unwind at mySpa inside the InterContinental Miami with a rejuvenating treatment tailored just for him. Choose from options like the 50-minute Gentleman’s Escape, 100-minute My Guy’s Sip & Soothe Experience or a detailing Men’s Manicure & Pedicure.
Just in time for beloved mango season, head to Pembroke Pines for the Island SPACE Mango Festival this year. This indoor, air-conditioned celebration is full of Caribbean culture, celebrity chef demonstrations (from the USVI, Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba), live music and all the fresh tropical fruit you can eat!
Give dad the ultimate royal treatment with a $50 “Passport to Daddy’s Kingdom,” granting him access to a dad-only VIP zone featuring a throne photo op, premium treats and pampering experiences. He can even compete in a mango-eating showdown before you check out the rare Mango Sommelier tasting flights.
A day of surprising illusions that challenge your perception sounds like the ultimate bonding experience. And you can do exactly that at Paradox Museum, which houses over 70 exhibits and unique photo ops!
