Axe throwing at Go Ape

From outdoor activities like axe throwing and treetop adventures at Go Ape, to unique attractions such as Windsor Castle, the area caters to different interests and energy levels.
One of the most popular ways to spend Father’s Day is by enjoying the River Thames. A river cruise offers a laid-back way to take in the scenery, while private boat hire or self-guided options provide greater flexibility for those who prefer a more hands-on experience. For something more active, paddleboarding, kayaking or canoeing add a sense of adventure and can be a memorable way to experience the water together.
For visitors who enjoy locally produced food and drink, the Windsor & Eton Brewery provides an engaging and enjoyable experience. Brewery tours offer insight into the craft of beer-making and give visitors the chance to sample award-winning brews. This makes it an ideal option for those looking for unique ways to treat dad on Father’s Day while supporting local producers and businesses.
Nature lovers can spend time exploring The Savill Garden, a beautifully curated space that offers a peaceful escape from busier areas. With 35 acres of landscaped garden, it provides an ideal setting for a leisurely walk, quiet conversation or simply enjoying the surroundings. It is also a great option for those who want a slower-paced activity that still feels purposeful and rewarding.
If you are looking for something more interactive, escape rooms such as Escape in 60 and Windsor Escape Experience offer a fun and engaging challenge. These experiences encourage teamwork and problem-solving, making them perfect for families who want to do something different together.
To make your Father’s Day celebration even more rewarding, many local businesses offer seasonal promotions and packages designed specifically for the occasion. Check out our Father’s Day special offers including special menus and set-price lunches with some added extras thrown in.
