12 Father Daughter Day Trip Ideas

Posted on Jun 15, 2016 | 0 comments

Yesterday I shared our 12 Father Son Day Trip Ideas. Today is all about our 12 super-fun Father Daughter Day Trip Ideas! We try to have one-on-one time with each child on a monthly basis, so I am sharing 12 ideas, one for each month.

Father daughter time is a special time that we need to be conscious of. Many daughters learn how to let a man treat them from their fathers so it is good to establish some one-on-one time with your little right from the get-go.

Here are 12 Father Daughter Day Trip Ideas

Beach Day Father Daughter Day Trip Ideas

This is always the first Daddy day! My hubby loves the beach and loves being able to take only one child down at a time. Spending uninterrupted time with each other at a place they love is something Dad and child will cherish forever.

Army Navy Air Force Father Daughter Day Trip

Find a local national park with some form of national service monument. Pack a picnic, some outdoor games and a blanket and head over to the park. Enjoy eating and sharing the monument with your daughter and talking about the history here. Talk about those that have fought for the fortunate way in which we get to live. Take some time to appreciate their sacrifice by relishing in the fact that we are able to go to any park and have lunch and play games and be FREE – something many people are still not. Then pick a pretty flower for her hair and remember to tell her how much you love her! 😉

Shopping Spree Father Daughter Day Trip

Have fun splurging a little on your little girl. Take her to the toy (or her fave) shop and then out to lunch. Treat her like a lady and have fun talking honestly with her.

Fishing Father Daughter Day Trip

Girls need to learn to fish too! Some of my favorite childhood memories are by the creek with my brother, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Take your girl out there and teach her everything you know about fishing and maybe even some other wildlife too!

National Park Father Daughter Day Trip

Hiking in the woods provides a unique opportunity for you both to just relax, be yourselves and talk about anything that needs talking about. Find your nearest national park here, pack a lunch and head out together.

Museum of Her Choice Father Daughter Day Trip

At some point before the big day arrives, spend a few minutes together deciding where to go. On your father daughter day trip morning, head out, have a great time then grab lunch on the way home to talk all about it.

Mini Golf Father Daughter Day Trip

Such a fun outing that we all take, it is on all 4 day trip lists! That is how much we enjoy it. Beyond that I find it so good for the kids to be out on their own with each one of us, seeing us laugh and have fun with just them on the mini-golf course. They gain confidence, understanding and appreciation – so valuable.

Volunteering Father Daughter Day Trip

This is also on all 4 day trip lists because I really believe it is important for our children to see us giving back. It is important for them to stand next to us as we give back. There is no better way to teach this message than by taking one of our precious one-on-one days to do something to benefit someone else.

Water Park Father Daughter Day Trip

Again, this made all 4 day trip lists and is something that we do 3-4 times a year! We each visit one-on-one with each child, then go as a family once or twice! Water parks usually have something for every age family member and offer a day for the parents to feel like kids, the kids to have fun with their parents and everyone to leave smiling with memories they will have forever.

Tea Party in the Park Father Daughter Day Trip

It does not matter her age, bring some age appropriate food, a nice blanket, some flowers, find a quiet spot in a nice park near you and enjoy the day. Through a book in your basket and maybe lay together reading a book aloud or have fun imagining what the cloud shapes are! Spending even a few hours doing this with her will make her feel so special and loved – you will be surprised what it does for you!

Aquarium Father Daughter Day Trip

Most large cities have incredible aquariums. Make a day trip to your nearest city, have fun checking out the aquarium and then find a nice, new spot for you both to have lunch. Such a fun day!

Holiday Gift Father Daughter Day Trip

Spending time with your daughter shopping for others may be something that completely opens you up to a new side of your child. Listen to her choices, show her yours – enjoy teaching her that we buy or make gifts for people because we love them, not because we have too.
