For the dad who has it all, finding a new gift idea each year can be a challenge. After the holidays, birthdays, and now Father’s Day, it’s easy to run out of inspiration.
Skip the stress this year and show him how much you care with a thoughtful local gift from this guide. Whether you’re offering adventure or some much-deserved peace and quiet, this list is sure to have something to help him feel his best.
A day trip or a brewery tour at one of the many craft breweries in and around Durham. 5 Paddles Brewing Company, Town Brewery, Banter & Co. Brewing, Little Beasts Brewing Company, Old Flame Brewing Co., All or Nothing Brewhouse—just to name a few.
A day out at the Royal Ashburn Golf Club, whether you tag along or not.
A day in the Spa Village. Either book a break to add to their calendar right away or buy a gift certificate they can use at their leisure, they never expire.
A day out exploring the mountain bike trails at Trail Hub.
Or rent a canoe or kayak at the Port Perry Marina and explore Lake Scugog together.
A race at Go-Kart Adventure at Goodwood Kartways—whether you let him win or not is up to you.

An opportunity to solve a mystery together and escape one of Durham’s Escape Rooms.
So, what will make Dad’s happy this Father’s Day?
