Top Things to do in Boston for Fathers Day

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

Father’s Day is all about treating dad to a special day. Create your own memories with your dad, your kids’ dad or even someone who is just like a dad. Boston has some exciting and fun things to do. Many of these venues are tailor made for dad. From history buffs to sports fans, here are the staff at Exotic Flowers’ top things to do on Father’s Day in the Boston area.

CodzillaZip across Boston Harbor at 40 miles per hour. Codzilla is a forty minute thrill ride across the ocean. High energy sounds of ACDC enhance the ride. Share this exciting ride with your dad. Create a lasting memory and start your own Father’s Day tradition.

 

 

 

 

Fenway Park extTake a walk into Fenway Park this father’s day. Every Father’s Day, the Red Sox allow a stroll around the warning track, admission is free. I know we are getting a little tired of the same old, same old from the Red Sox. But if you have not tried this, why not check it out this year. Jerry Remy’s around the corner is also offering some great Father’s Day specials and free Wally toys for the kids.

 

 

 

USS ConstitutionYou know Dad loves the History Channel. Why not take him to the real life History Channel ? The USS Constitution is a living breathing museum. In celebration of its role in the War of 1812, celebrate its centennial and Father’s Day with a visit to Old Ironsides.

 

 

Patriot Place

Okay, I know it’s not in Boston. If you’re like me, you consider Foxboro a town in Rhode Island. But Dad loves football and the Patriots. Why not take him to luch at Patriot Place. While you’re there, he can visit the Bass Pro Shop and visit some really cool football memorabilia at the Hall at Patriot Place.

These are just a couple of our favorite spots. Of course, a few of our honorable mentions include Battle Ship Cove in Fall River (a real life Military Channel); Butcher Boy in North Andover for the griller in your life, he will thank you; or take a ride to Mystic, CT and check out their awesome aquarium.

BOSTON, May 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ – To make sure that Dad has everything he needs to man the grill this Father’s Day, Samuel Adams and FromYouFlowers.com have brewed up the perfect delivery for beer lovers – the new Samuel Adams® Hoppy Father’s Day gift basket.  The present pairs a Samuel Adams Boston Lager® glass with a set of flavored wood grilling planks and a beef spice rub blend – both designed to enhance the outdoor cooking experience – along with a Samuel Adams keychain, hat, a jar of Bavarian Noble hop “flowers” and an assortment of dried fruits and nuts. All of the items are perfectly packaged and ready to be enjoyed this June with a cold Samuel Adams Boston Lager in hand.

“The last thing a guy needs is another tie; Father’s Day is all about showing appreciation for Dad, and that means giving him something he really wants,” said Samuel Adams Founder and Brewer Jim Koch. “Since so many men love grilling, we put together a delivery that they can use and appreciate. Couple the basket with a six-pack of Samuel Adams Boston Lager, and you have everything Dad needs for the perfect Father’s Day experience.”

Each item in the basket was carefully chosen with the beer lover in mind, offering high-quality pieces that can be used all year long. The Samuel Adams Boston Lager glass is the first glass specifically designed to showcase the beer as the brewers intended, delivering the optimum full-flavored taste and aroma of Samuel Adams Boston Lager. Samuel Adams worked with a team of world-renowned sensory experts to develop a uniquely-shaped glass that features a unique angled lip, delivering the beer to the right points on the drinker’s palate; a neck and lip design that helps sustain the head of the beer, enhancing the release of the Noble hop aromas; a narrower glass base to keep the brew at the optimum temperature; and a laser-etched nucleation site at the bottom of the glass to maintain flavor release during the drinking experience.

The Bavarian Noble hop “flowers” showcased in the basket provide a “beery” aroma reminiscent of Dad’s favorite brew. These are the same signature Noble hops Jim hand selects each year in Bavaria for Samuel Adams Boston Lager. The basket also includes an assortment of useful Samuel Adams accessories, food items and tools – ideal for grilling outside and enjoying the summer sun. The wood grilling planks will impart black cherry flavors to steaks and wild game and provide a rich, fragrant smoke flavor. The spice rub blend is designed to bring out the flavors in Dad’s favorite beef grilling recipes and is perfect for steaks, roasts, and hamburgers.

“We worked with Samuel Adams to create a customized basket for Valentine’s Day, and the demand was overwhelming,” said Dave Adams, FromYouFlowers.com CEO. “Customers asked us to continue offering beer-themed gifts for other occasions, so now we’re delivering just that – right to their door for Father’s Day.”

The Samuel Adams Hoppy Father’s Day gift basket will be available exclusively at FromYouFlowers.com in limited quantities for a retail price of $39.99.  Visit www.FromYouFlowers.com/bostonbeer to order online, or call 1-800-838-8853 for phone orders.
