'Tis the season to bask in the summer weather and it's almost time to celebrate Father's Day on Sunday, June 16. There are just two weekends to go, and we've put together some of the best things to do to celebrate dad on Father's Day. Maybe he needs another pair of socks, but what he truly deserves is some quality time and some summertime fun in the perfect base camp city. There's plenty of nature to see, amazing food to eat, and craft beverages to enjoy in Bellevue, Washington with dad. Reservations, if applicable, are recommended.

If Dad Deserves To See Some Waterfalls

Just in time for Father's Day, a new Wine & Waterfalls Tour has launched, with pick ups from the Bellevue Hyatt Regency and the Bellevue Westin. Treat dad to some quality time with other people who love waterfalls and wine. You'll get to hike around and check out Twin Falls, Snoqualmie Falls, and South Fork, followed by some food and wine at Sigillo WInery. 

If Father Enjoys The Outdoors In General

Add some outdoor activity to your day, such as kayaking, canoeing or paddle boarding on Lake Washington, or going ziplining, or riding a seaplane, or paragliding! There's even a really cool collection of mountain biking trails around for the adrena-dad. And the trails are lovely this time of year.
