Ask yourself this — does Dad really need another tie?

If you notice his tie collection is turning into a dust collection, perhaps it’s time for a new approach.

This Father’s Day, gift him an unforgettable experience instead.

Whether you think he’ll enjoy some peace and quiet or some quality time with the people he loves most, there are plenty of ways to make Dad feel special this year.

Here are four unique Orlando experiences to do with Dad this Father’s Day.

A Day on the Golf Course

If your dad enjoys a round of 18 holes on the green, we’ve got just the spot for you.

Shingle Creek Golf Course is an Arnold Palmer Design Company designed course, complete with rolling fairways and surrounded by natural Florida wildlife.

This world-class golf course is a serene escape from everyday life, and the perfect place to treat Dad to a day of outdoor luxury.

If you know Dad is looking to improve his game, gift him a lesson at the Shingle Creek Golf Academy, where he can work on improving his swing, stance, and grip.

Plus, the fun doesn’t have to end on the 18th hole.

After a leisurely round of golf, refuel at the beautiful Clubhouse Grille. Juicy burgers, fresh salads, and hand-crafted entrées are delicious and Dad-approved.

Beer Spa

Any beer-loving dad will be floored with a gift to My Beer Spa in Orlando.

This unique experience offers a soaking treatment designed to relax and rejuvenate, with a few unexpected twists.

Guests can unwind with a warm soak infused with natural beer ingredients.

Hops, barley, and yeast not only provide gentle aromatherapy, but also help to exfoliate, purify, and renew skin.

The warm water also stimulates the circulatory system, relaxes muscles, opens pores, and draws out toxins for a clean, refreshing glow.

My Beer Spa has private and shared rooms, so Dad can either enjoy soaking solo or with his favorite people.

While you’re soaking, enjoy complimentary self-serve beer on tap, taking your spa treatment to the next level. Wine and sangria are available for purchase.

Does your dad prefer a more traditional spa experience?

We have plenty of luxurious treatments he’ll love at The Spa at Rosen Centre, conveniently located in our hotel lobby.

Father’s Day at Central Florida Zoo

Looking for a way to spend Father’s Day with little ones?

The Central Florida Zoo is a wonderful family-friendly destination everyone will love.

Plus, on Father’s Day, dads and grandpas get in for free with the purchase of another general admission zoo ticket.

The zoo is home to over 350 animals representing 100 species, including giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, and the rare greater one-horned rhinoceros.

Make your visit extra special with an experience like giraffe feeding or getting up close to PJ, the resident rhino, and learning about his species.

Make friends with alpacas, goats, Harlequin sheep, and a llama at the Barnyard Buddies petting zoo.

Temperatures in mid-June can get hot, so be sure to check out the Wharton-Smith Tropical Splash Ground for sprinklers, sprays, and other watery ways to keep cool.

Kayak Wekiva Springs

Does Dad love being outdoors?

Explore Florida’s remarkable wildlife from the water with a kayak trip along Wekiva Springs.

The beautiful springs empty into the Wekiva River, which offers 16 miles of gentle currents, centuries-old oak trees, and plenty of native wildlife.

In fact, the Wekiva River is one of Florida’s two federally designated “Wild and Scenic Rivers.”

Keep your eyes open for alligators, otters, herons, egrets, and a variety of other incredible animals.

Not too far from the springs is Wekiva Island, a riverside pitstop.

While you’re there, grab a beer from The Tooting Otter bar, a snack from their onsite food truck, and pull up an Adirondak chair overlooking the water.

You can also swim in the springs’ designated swimming area, which naturally pumps out 42 million gallons of fresh water every day.

Rosen Centre: Treat Dad like a King

Finding the perfect Father’s Day gift can be tough.

This year, treat Dad to a stay at Rosen Centre.

He can spend the day sipping cocktails by the pool or enjoying a customized spa treatment before reveling in a sensational steak dinner at Everglade’s Restaurant.

When it’s time for a good night’s sleep, our contemporary rooms and comfortable beds are the perfect way to recharge.

Trust us — with a gift this thoughtful, you’ll never need to buy Dad another tie again.
