Things To Do On Father's Day In Hyderabad
A Game Of Laser Tag
Are you the kind of father-kid duo who love chasing each other? Then laser tag’s got to be your de facto start to the day. Head out to Lazer Shooter at SVM Mall for a game or two of laser tag. If you think the more, the merrier, then drag your mom and siblings too, but if your dad thinks ‘me time’ is more like his thing, then you can book a 30-minute game for him at INR 399 and let him have a good time.

Rent A Cricket Ground
Nothing can get you bonding better with your daddy cool than cricket and if you were someone who grew up playing gully cricket with him, you might want to revisit those days. Rent a cricket ground for a couple of hours to spin a ball with your old man or let him teach you a thing or two (again) on how you shouldn’t bat. Based on your choice and preference of area, you can book one either on Sporloc or Groundwala.

Book A Luxury Salon Experience
If a haircut or shave is due, try and book a luxury salon experience for your dad. Sometimes, a good spa and salon is all one needs to destress and let go of worries. We recommend Truefitt & Hill for their luxury services including pedicures, manicures, head massages aside from the basic services like haircuts and shaves. They also have all-day packages including head-to-toe pampering if your dad is in some serious need of TLC.

Watch A Live Band
With so many bands mushrooming in the city, most of them play old hits from the 80s and 90s. Think Ilaiyaraaja and AR Rahman hits from back in the day. If you get your love for music from your dad, how about heading to a live music gig so you can belt out all your common favourites? Check out all the places in town you can visit for live music. Our pick? Tabula Rasa.

Make Dinner Plans
This one's a given and one of the easiest things to plan. Make lunch or dinner reservations at that fancy place your dad loves but never opts for. Parents can be sticklers to the old places they love, never wanting to try something new. But if they like specific cuisines, you may be able to pick a spot that both you and your dad enjoy. If you share your love for authentic Telugu food, we recommend heading to Telugu Medium Kitchen that looks like a school (not kidding) and serves amazing Telugu food from the three major regions.

Go Play Some Golf
If your dad is into leisure sports and enjoys a game of golf once in a while, learn the ropes from the best, and schedule a short playing session. One Gold Brewery rents out spaces on an hourly basis, where you can also sip on some craft beer while competing.

Relive Childhood Memories At Hussain Sagar
If you've grown up in Hyderabad, chances are the Hussain Sagar lake and Tank Bund were one of your favourite haunts. With the new secretariat building, the BR Ambedkar statue unveiled, you can take a long drive along the lake side to check out the new infrastructure and stop by at Lake District Bar & Kitchen for some snacks. You could also take the ferry during sunset and visit the Buddha to truly reminisce about the good times gone by.

Check out House of Gourmet's Mango themed lunch with all dishes featuring mangoes in some form or shape. We love the warm vibes at this place and we're sure you will too. Don't miss the Korean Garlic Cheese Bun when you visit.

Drive Down To Shameerpet Lake
Driving down is just the first part. Why not have a cutesy picnic? Grab a mat, pack some chai, and drive out early to Shamirpet Lake. Yap, meditate, do some stretching, and watch some birds in silence against a peaceful backdrop. Again, we recommend heading there during the early hours to avoid any commotion. Brownie points if the weather is extra pleasant.
