Father's Day 2025: Family activities, treats, and deals

1. Treat dad like a VIP.

This June, celebrate Father's Day every day at Robinsons Malls, with its Dad + Me Festival. Here's a good itinerary for an unforgettable Father's Day, or any day with Dad: Treat Dad to his favorite cuisine at one of Robinsons Mall's top-notch restaurants. Opus Mall offers diverse options such as Via Mare, Sogeum, Il Lupino, Hoshino, Key Coffee, and St. Ali. 

Then, take Dad to a well-deserved pampering and retail therapy experience. Dads can get a stylish haircut at Bruno's Barbers inside Spatio or The Dojo, followed by a sneaker clean-up session at Sole Care or La Sole Manila. Seal it with the perfect gift at Open Source by Beyond the Box.

For dads living in the south, give Dad the star treatment he rarely asks for but deserves. From June 14 to 26, take your husband and dad to "The Dad's Den Experience" at the concourse at Level 2 of One Ayala in Makati City. This dedicated space is a stress-free zone where fathers can unwind with a complimentary drink, a friendly 15-minute billiard game, or a relaxing 15-minute chair massage. Best of all, services like watch repairs, eyeglass cleaning, and scent testers are also available for free.

2. Explore arts and culture together.

For dads who enjoy history and culture or appreciate good art, a museum date is a unique way to celebrate. Starting June 14, families can visit the Center for Art, New Ventures, and Sustainable Development (CANVAS) milestone exhibition at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Manila as it marks its 20th anniversary.

Expect stunning works from renowned Filipino artists like BenCab, Mark Justiniani, Elmer Borlongan, and Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan (Ang INK). Even better, the exhibit includes kid-friendly themed rooms that explore timely topics like climate change, internet safety, and children's rights. Read more here.
