Father's Day is just around the corner on Sunday 21st June 2026, and attractions across the country are gearing up to celebrate.

If you're looking to treat Dad to a day out packed with thrilling roller coasters, family-friendly rides, or even a complimentary pint, UK theme parks have pulled out all the stops this year.

To help you plan the perfect family day out, we round up all the very best Father's Day events and 'Dads Go Free' offers available across the UK.

The Big Headline Offers

Flamingo Land Resort

Flamingo Land in Yorkshire is offering a brilliant double deal for families. Dads get FREE admission on Sunday 21st June, provided there is at least one full-paying adult per booking. On top of that, if you order an adult main meal at The Coach House restaurant, Dad will receive a complimentary pint of house lager, beer, or cider (with soft options also available).

Drayton Manor Resort

Drayton Manor is pairing theme park thrills with a proper Father's Day feast. On Sunday 21st June, if you book a Father's Day Feast package (which features a choice of burger, chicken, or pizza sharing platters), Dad will receive FREE theme park entry and a FREE beer. It is an excellent option for families looking to combine a full day on the rides with a relaxed celebratory meal.

Where Dads Go Free Across the UK

Adventure Coast Southport

If you are based in the North West, Adventure Coast Southport is welcoming all fathers with FREE entry on Sunday 21st June. It is the perfect excuse to explore their collection of family attractions and coastal rides while making lasting memories together.

Devon's Woodlands Park is offering FREE entry for Dads on Father's Day. This particular ticket deal covers access to all their outdoor rides, indoor play zones, and animal attractions.
