Celebrate Father’s Day in Dallas: Golf, Sports, Arts & Outdoor Adventures
Father’s Day falls on Sunday, June 18. Make Dallas the backdrop for a memorable weekend and let our curated guide help you plan the perfect celebration.
Hit the Golf Range
Invite dad to tee off at Dallas’ renowned golf venues. Reserve a slot at Tenison Park, which boasts two 18‑hole courses, or warm up on the driving range. Keeton Park earned a spot on the national Top 50 driving ranges list, giving you a chance to showcase your swing or refine it under the guidance of a PGA pro. While you’re there, grab a bite at the on‑site cafés to keep energy levels high.
Go for a Sport Outing
Take dad on the ultimate Dallas Cowboys experience. Explore AT&T Stadium—the world’s largest dome structure—tour the players’ locker rooms, and step onto the field for a photo‑op that’s unforgettable. If baseball is more his style, spend an afternoon at Globe Life Park watching the Rangers face the Mariners. A classic beer and hot dog will cap the day perfectly.
Spend the Day in the Arts District
For the art‑loving dad, the Dallas Arts District offers a full day of culture. Stroll through Klyde Warren Park, sample the food trucks, and visit the Dallas Museum of Art (free admission) or the Nasher Sculpture Center. End the evening with a show at the AT&T Performing Arts Center—whether it’s “Something Rotten” or “Inherit the Wind,” you’ll enjoy a memorable performance.
Trek the Trinity Audubon Trails
Head to the Trinity Audubon Center and explore five miles of restored prairie, 120 acres of natural habitat, and a thriving bird‑watching scene featuring over 60 species. Binoculars are available for rent, giving you a closer look at local wildlife.
Go for Lunch in Trinity Groves
Trinity Groves is the go‑to foodie hub in West Dallas. For seafood, try Amberjax’s lobster roll. Burgers and a laid‑back patio await at Off‑Site Kitchen, while Cake Bar delivers generous homemade slices for dessert. Finish with an after‑lunch cocktail at Saint Rocco’s, then walk off the meal along the Ron Kirk Pedestrian Bridge, where panoramic city views add a scenic touch.
