Buy your dad some baseball tickets and take the whole family down to the ballpark, grab a hotdog and cheer on the Jacksonville Suns. For football fans, take your dad out to watch the Jacksonville Sharks or buy your tickets early for the Jacksonville Jaguars (season tickets on sale, too!).

For the artistic dad:

Take your dad out to explore the fine arts of MOCA Jacksonville check out local art galleries and studios like Southlight Gallery, The Art Center and 44 Monroe, where you can take art classes or even buy work from local artists as a Father’s Day gift!

For the fashionable dads out there, consider AJ Reese Clothiers for a nice suit and accessories or getting a timeless watch from Jacobs Jewelers or Hemming Plaza Jewelers. For the laid-back dads, check out Sports Mania for sportswear and game day gear.
