Flowrider @ Adrenalina:
If your Dad is the kind that likes excitement this just might be the place. The Flowrider at Adrenalina is an indoor surfing arena that allows for perfect wave conditions all the time. Flowriders have been around since 1985. Water flows at 38 miles per hours over a foam surface and allows participants to work on their surfing skills without waiting for the "perfect" wave. Certified Wavelock trainers keep a watchful eye at all times and can offer tips and advise on how to perform tricks. This is a great way to bond with Dad.

Sing Dad a Song @ Karaoke night
If you want to show Dad just how much you love him, how about singing it to him? Every Tuesday night @ 5:30pm Barb Burke of Mystic Entertainment sets up her karaoke equipment at Cherry's in north Tampa for karaoke-kid style. Kids can sing anything from Ba Ba Black Sheep to Kid Rock. The best part is that kids eat free with the purchase of an adult meal. Amaze Dad with your vocal abilities while you both enjoy one the Bay Area's best milkshakes. Strawberry, Please!

Rock Climbing @ Philippe Park
How about you and Dad climb to the top of a rock mountain together? Philippe Park is located on the banks of upper Tampa Bay and offers great views and picnic spots plus a rock-climbing garden. Much of this 122-acre park is shaded by large oaks that help keep you cool on even the hottest of days. A truly unique place that allows Dad and his pint size buddy to conquer the rocks and use there scaling skills to be the first to the top. You and dad can have fun here all day long!

Sea Life Safari
@ the Clearwater Marine Aquarium

Maybe your dad's idea of a perfect day is one spent on the sea.
Climb aboard the Sea Life Safari for a two-hour trip into our beautiful intracoastal waters. Look for dolphins, sea birds and other marine life the staff narrates the scenic ride to a shell island. You will witness data collection in action as they use a net pull to see what is in the nursery of Clearwater Bay. The best part is that they pass around sea critters before releasing them back to the bay. A hands-on experience unlike any other cruise!
