Father's Day Specials & Events
If family road trips taught us anything, it's that dads often get stuck in the driver's seat. With Father's Day coming up on Sunday, June 21 give him a break and bring him to the Providence area for some great food and family fun — minus the chorus of "are we there yet?" from the backseat. Enjoy boat tours and beer gardens, a day at Roger Williams Park Zoo, or if he actually wants to drive, head to R1 Indoor Karting.
Treat Dad to Father's Day Fun
We're sure the dad in your life will appreciate a tasty meal at one of the many restaurants in Providence. Try family favorites like Cassarino's, Luigi's and Providence Coal Fired Pizza, or something a little more upscale like Camille's or The Capital Grille.

Make Some Memories in and Around Providence
Of course dad loves all the ties and #1 Dad mugs you've bought him through the years, but maybe it's time to step up your game.
If he's is the outdoorsy type, take a narrated daytime tour or sunset cruise with the Providence River Boat Company or rent a kayak from Providence Kayak Company and explore the rivers on your own.
If he's a big foodie, why not take him on the Downcity Providence Food Tour from Rhode Island Red Food Tours and get the down-low on the best places to grab a bite as you eat and drink your way around the city.
Celebrating outside the capital city? Take dad up to the Hall at Patriot Place, buy him a jersey or retro Patriots hat, and stroll around for the day. Let him relive the Snow Bowl, listen in on a huddle with the G.O.A.T. calling plays, and hear stories from past players. Or spend the day on the links at The Preserve Sporting Club, followed by something to eat at their H20 Cafe and a swim in the pool.
Seaworthy dads will love East Bay Boat Tours. Hop aboard their "Seas the Bay" cabin cruiser for a day on the water. Bring your own food and beverages, or dock at a restaurant on the bay to pick up lunch while you sail.
For the craft beer lover, bring dad to the Tap Room at The Guild in Pawtucket. He can enjoy pints or flights of beer from some of New England's greatest craft breweries. Or check out some of the best outdoor beer gardens around the state for a pint on the patio.
