Why are dads so hard to shop for? Sure, when you're a kid it's not hard -- just pick up that bottle of Brut cologne or a fish-shaped pencil sharpener and you're good to go -- but as you get older you realize you may need to put a little more thought into how to celebrate the day.

  • Take Dad to a Festival

    This weekend's lakefront party happens to be Polishfest. Buy your dad some pierogies, and perhaps ask him to teach you how to polka.

  • Create a Father's Day Craft

    These classic Father's Day craft ideas are perfect for young kids who are looking for that super-special gift to give their dad. Seriously, home-made gifts are way better than ties or golf balls.

  • Take an Edelweiss Brunch Cruise

    Maybe your Dad is more of a leisurely gentleman. If so, consider a champagne brunch cruise on the Edelweiss, which offers a great, relaxing way to see the city from a whole new perspective.

  • Take Advantage of a Father's Day Golf Deal

    Whether your Dad is a powerhouse with the driver or just enjoys a slow, leisurely outing, golfing is a great time to spend some quality time with your pops. Plus, county courses are offering a deal after 1 p.m. on June 15: if you buy one round and a single-rider cart, your dad can golf for free.

  • Go to a Movie (and Bowling and to Dinner) at the IPic Theatre

    Does your dad like movies, bowling or food? Or all three? If so, you really can't go wrong with taking your father to the IPic cinema at Bayshore Town Center.
