Father’s Day Ideas: Dad-Approved Outings in Denton

Celebrate Father's Day on Sunday, June 21st

Father's Day in Denton is full of adventures and experiences. Take dad to dinner, explore the great outdoors, find the perfect gift, or attend one of the many events going on in Denton that weekend. Here are a few ideas he’s sure to love.
 

Take Him Outdoors!

If Dad feels most at home outside, spend the day exploring some of Denton's natural beauty. Lace up your hiking shoes and hit one of the area's scenic trails, or venture out to Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center, where winding paths and peaceful landscapes make for a relaxing afternoon.

For dads who prefer life on the water, nearby Lake Ray Roberts offers opportunities for fishing, boating, swimming, and lakeside relaxation. Pack a cooler, bring the family, and enjoy a day outdoors together.

Hit the Links!

For the golf-loving dad, Father's Day is the perfect time to hit the course. Denton is home to several options for golfers of all skill levels, whether he's looking to play a full round or simply spend some time at the driving range working on his swing. Wildhorse Golf Club in Robson Ranch is a public course, but there are many others to choose from for members, such as Denton Country Club, Oakmont Country Club, and Lantana Country Club. Or, if your dad would just prefer to hit a few balls, Northlake Recreation Center and Park has a driving range.

Get Competitive!

Who doesn’t love some friendly competition? Denton has plenty of options if you’re keeping score. Denton has Andy B’s, Bowlero, and disc golf, just to name a few. Afterward, treat him to dinner and a beer - win, lose, or draw!

Take Him on a Tour! 

Spend the day touring our murals, historic spots, or best places for tacos, beer, or get out and enjoy some of the best patios in Denton! 

Denton Mural Tour

Get ready to explore some of Denton’s most iconic and beautiful outdoor works of art, each unique in its own way. Many of our murals are within our walkable downtown Denton Square and can be visited within a single trip, while others will require you to drive to their location to view in person.

Buy Him a Beer!

Celebrate Dad with a well-deserved toast. Denton's local breweries, bars, and distilleries offer plenty of options for enjoying a cold beer, handcrafted cocktail, or local spirit. Settle in on a patio, enjoy live music, and spend the afternoon catching up with family and friends. Celebrate with craft brews at Denton County Brewing Co, or East Side, or Miss Angeline's! Make sure to stop by the Bearded Monk for a draught, darts, and some beer-to-go. If beer isn’t his thing, head over to Anderson's Eatery & Distillery for an eclectic ambience and live music!

Send Him a Gift!

Maybe Dad is not local to Denton, but you want to share the charm and creativity that Denton radiates. Our locally owned shops are the perfect place to purchase a one-of-a-kind gift for dad. Stop by The DIME Store, Faded Blue, Norman Roscoe, Wilkinson’s Fine Goods, or other Denton establishments to show your appreciation this Father’s Day.

Spend the Day Downtown

Sometimes the best gift is simply spending time together. Stroll around the historic Downtown Denton Square, browse local shops, and enjoy everything that makes Denton such a special place to spend a weekend. No Father's Day celebration is complete without great food. Whether Dad is craving burgers, barbecue, tacos, steak, or a patio brunch, Denton's dining scene offers plenty of options for celebrating around the table.

Make It a Weekend!

Turn your adventure into a mini-vacation for dad and book a stay at one of our hotels. With options like the Embassy Suites, Best Western Premier Crown Chase Inn and Suites, and the Homewood Suites, you're sure to find the perfect spot.
