Father’s Day in Toronto 2025: 15+ Cool Things To Do With Dad

So… how do you even begin to plan a day for the guy who insists he “doesn’t need anything”? Things to do with Dad on Father’s Day in Toronto & GTA (2025) isn’t about socks or last-minute mugs. It’s a list for anyone trying to skip the awkward “So… what do you wanna do?” conversation with Dad this year.

Because honestly, when was the last time he planned his own day?

Is he more into vintage cars, smashing burgers, or just walking around pretending not to be impressed? There’s plenty happening around the city and in nearby spots too. Some ideas might even make him say, “Hey, this is pretty cool,” which in Dad’s language is a standing ovation .
