Take a Virtual Tour with Dad<\/h2>\n

\"Father<\/p>\n

For the man who has everything, you can\u2019t go wrong by giving the gift of an experience. Explore some of the world\u2019s best museums and historical sites through virtual tours. See the Mona Lisa and other masterpieces on an online tour of the Louvre<\/a> guided by an art historian. You can also travel back in time with an expert led online tour of the Acropolis in Athens<\/a>. Or gaze in awe together at the exquisitely painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel during a live virtual tour of the Vatican<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take a Virtual Trip for Father\u2019s Day<\/h2>\n

\"Father<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re not living under the same roof, you can still spend quality time together while virtually venturing somewhere new. Book a virtual city tour to have a local guide show you around their hometown over video chat. Climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower, see Notre Dame\u2019s gargoyles, and stroll the streets of Montmartre, all from the comfort of home on a virtual tour of Paris<\/a>. You can also join Miha as he drives around Berlin and livestreams a virtual tour<\/a> of the city\u2019s top sights. Video chatting with a local in another country is the perfect virtual Father\u2019s Day mini vacation.<\/p>\n

Play Games Together Online<\/h2>\n

\"Playing<\/p>\n

If the ol\u2019 man\u2019s a Scrabble fiend or a checkers champ, spend some family time playing games together. If you\u2019re not under the same roof, you can find plenty of online versions of dad\u2019s favorite games. Things like Trivial Pursuit and charades are easy to play over a Zoom call. Jackbox Games<\/a> offers a variety of party games that the whole family can get in on.<\/p>\n

Take a Virtual Cooking Class Together<\/h2>\n

\"Taking<\/p>\n

If dad\u2019s a man of the kitchen, gift him with a live online cooking class with a chef in Italy, India, or Spain. The whole family can get their hands doughy while making pizza from scratch the Italian way<\/a> with an instructor in Rome. Feed your father\u2019s passion for food with a live online cooking class to make vegetarian Indian cuisine<\/a>. He can also learn to make authentic tapas<\/a> while video chatting with a chef in Barcelona. The best part is, you can all feast on his creations together after the class.<\/p>\n

Virtual Brewery and Distillery Tours<\/h2>\n

\"Beer<\/p>\n

Give dad the unique experience of a virtual distillery or brewery tour this Father\u2019s Day. Make the sensory experience complete by sending him a bottle or 6-pack so he can enjoy a bourbon or beer tasting from his recliner. The Buffalo Trace Distillery<\/a> in Tennessee offers one of most interactive virtual distillery tours for visitors of legal drinking age. Download the app to explore a digital rendering of the distillery, test your trivia knowledge with fun quizzes, and even complete a scavenger hunt for bourbon bottles hidden throughout the online tour.<\/p>\n

You can also check out Scotland\u2019s oldest working distillery with a 360-degree virtual tour of Glenturret Distillery<\/a>. And see where the magic happens on a virtual tour of Central City Brewery<\/a> in Surrey, BC, Canada. If dad has a VR set up, try out Patron\u2019s immersive virtual experience<\/a> to see how they make tequila in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Create a Digital Photo Album<\/h2>\n

\"Father<\/p>\n

Surprise pop on his big day with a digital photo album of family photos. Dig up some old photographs of dad in his grade school days\u2014the kids are sure to love it. Sprinkle in your favorite family vacation photos\u2014especially the cheesy ones. Add plenty of pictures with him and the kids, and you\u2019re sure to have a digital slideshow to make him smile, laugh, and get a little misty eyed. Then on Father\u2019s Day, share the slideshow with the whole family far and wide so you can all enjoy the pictures together.<\/p>\n
