The Liverpool and Merseyside area is packed with fun things for two people to do – so if you’re looking for an extra special gift for dad, you’re in the right place! Whether you want to treat your old man to an indulgent food tour or put him through his paces in an adrenaline-pumping escape room, you can be sure there’s something for everyone here. To whet your appetite, here are four of our favourite things to do with dad in Liverpool.

If your dad thinks he could be the next Bond, why not put him to the test – and come along for the ride – with the Secret Agent Escape Room for Two in Liverpool? This is an exhilarating and entirely unique espionage game where you and your dad will test your mental skills and teamwork as you fight to get out of a locked room.

The rules are simple: you have one hour to crack the codes, solve the puzzles and find the clues, and to make it that bit more exciting, you’ll be pitted against other people, too. Only one team can win and claim their secret agent title, though – will that be you and dad? A super exciting experience for adventurous dads who love trying new things.

If your dad fancies himself as a bit of a foodie, why not treat him to A Taste of Liverpool Walking Tour? Whether you live here and want to discover some of the best off-the-beaten-track eateries, or you’re just visiting and want to eat your way around the city, this tour is the perfect way to combine food and culture.

During this 3-4 hour tour, you and dad will be shown around Liverpool by a passionate and experienced guide, who’ll tell you fascinating stories about the city as you go. All this walking will build up an appetite – and good thing, because you’ll be stopping off at at least five different independent spots to taste the best of Liverpool’s culinary offerings. Sweet, savoury, spicy… there’s something for every palate here. Just be sure to come on an empty stomach!

Liverpool is famous all around the world for its football team, and if your dad is a die-hard supporter of Liverpool FC, what could be better than surprising him with an Anfield Stadium Experience? This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for your dad (and you!) to go behind the scenes at Liverpool FC and be treated like a VIP all day.

You’ll both enjoy a full tour of Anfield Stadium, including the dressing rooms, press rooms and dugout, and then you’ll get to explore Anfield Museum. After, you’ll sit down to a slap-up VIP three-course lunch in an Executive Box overlooking the pitch. If that weren’t enough, you’ll finish up with a meet and greet with a Liverpool legend, where you’ll get to ask questions and take photos. A truly thrilling experience for any Liverpool FC fan.

Does your dad love boats and hitting the water? Does he also love a Sunday roast? Does he enjoy spending time with his family? If so, it’s hard to think of a better Liverpool experience than a Sunday Lunch Cruise on the Floating Grace.

Climb aboard Liverpool’s first ever floating restaurant and treat your dad to an experience that combines sightseeing, history and gastronomy. Setting sail from Liverpool’s historic docks, you’ll be greeted with a welcome glass of bubbly as you sail past some of the city’s most iconic sights.

You’ll feast upon a three-course Sunday roast complete with all the trimmings – and in such atmospheric surroundings, with such beautiful sights to see, a roast dinner has never tasted so good. A great way to treat your dad and enjoy some family time.
