The Ultimate Father’s day gifts of 2017 /blog/the-ultimate-fathers-day-gifts-of-2017/ Mon, 12 Jun 2017 12:41:18 +0000 /blog/?p=6352 Continue reading The Ultimate Father’s day gifts of 2017]]> Dads might not do fancy chocolates and they definitely don’t do flowers, which means with Father’s Day fast approaching you’re going to have to think on your feet to find the perfect present. Thankfully, we’re here to help and we’ve come up with some awesome gifts that will bring a smile to even the fussiest father’s face.

For the puzzle lover..

For the puzzle loving pop swap the sudoku book for an Escape Game experience. With 60 minutes to solve puzzles, crack codes and unravel mysteries, your dad’s in for a day he’ll never forget! As every escape room is completely unique he can even choose the theme, so if he’s always fancied himself as a master detective, a revolutionary scientist or even a rogue bank robber anything is possible inside these four walls. Let’s just hope he doesn’t get locked in 😉

For the box set addict..

If your dad’s always glued to Game of Thrones he’ll love a Medieval Jousting experience. Kitted up in authentic medieval costume he’ll be transported back in time and taught how to act, fight and joust like a knight. Not everybody’s up for the challenge of defeating the dreaded Black Knight though, so if your dad’s not a natural on horseback why not see if he’s got what it takes to master the art of archery or axe throwing. These awesome medieval target sports are even more exciting than they look!

For the petrol head..

Whether your dad’s dream ride is a flaming red Ferrari, a luminous Lamborghini or a full-throttle F1 car, we’ve got the perfect experience to satisfy his need for speed. From heart-racing supercar driving experiences to state-of-the-art F1 racing simulators, we guarantee he’ll have a blast! If he really wants to test his skill at the wheel though there’s only one place to be – the kart track.

For the budding Bear Grylls..

Your dad might not be a natural survivor, but we guarantee he loves Bear Grylls, which means he’ll love a survival experience too. Under the tuition of an expert instructor he’ll learn how to forage for food, find shelter and create fire, transforming him into a bona fide bushmaster before your eyes.

For the daredevil dad..

Finding the perfect present for your daredevil dad definitely isn’t as hard as you might think. Even the biggest adrenaline addicts admit the rush of taking the plunge from 10,000ft is impossible to beat. So why not find out how brave your daredevil dad really is by challenging him to a skydive? And if that’s too extreme we’re sure he’d be man enough to brave a bungee jump..

For the deadeye..

If getting his hands on a shotgun and smashing some clays doesn’t bring a smile to your dad’s face we’re not sure anything will! Even if he’s never held a gun before, our instructors will have him nailing clays in no time and who knows it might even be the start of a new hobby.

 

For the mud lover..

If your dad’s always out in the garden getting his hands dirty he’ll love an excuse to play in the mud, which is what quad biking and off-road driving experiences are made for! Nowhere is out of bounds on these awesome experiences and he’ll get to explore some of the country’s most rugged countryside.

Still can’t find what you’re looking for? Visit The Activity People websites for even more awesome Father’s Day gift ideas.
