5 Great Gifts For the Denver Dad

6/10/2018

by Krystal Covington, MBA

Father's day is creeping up fast, so if you're behind on getting your dad that perfect gift here's a few ideas that will make his day.

Indoor Skydiving

A post shared by Matt Bodnar (@jmatthewbodnar) on Aug 25, 2017 at 3:52pm PDT

If your dad has a literal taste for the high life, give him the chance to feel the thrill of skydiving without the serious risk of falling from high in the air. 

iFLY indoor skydiving in Lone Tree will give your dad an experience of floating on a cushion of air. They also offer virtual reality experiences simulating the feeling of a 13,000 foot free fall!

The $59 package comes with 2 rides, so you can get your float on too!

You can learn more and find packages on their website.

A Portable Evaporative Cooler

If your dad loves working on house projects he likely spends a great deal of time in the garage sanding, cutting and melting in the heat.

Until they start putting central air in the garage and shed, he'll benefit from a great fan to cool him down while working those creative muscles. 

The Quilo is an evaporative cooler, which provides an island breeze type of air flow. In Denver where the air is dry, it's super effective at cooling a room. He can even add ice to the compartment to make the breeze even more frigid.

When winter comes the Quilo doubles as a humidifier.

A Feminist Coffee Mug

A post shared by The Paisley Pig Press (@paisleypigpress) on Mar 8, 2017 at 10:25am PST

If your dad goes to more #MeToo rallies than you do, he needs some serious gear to go along with that passion (and a subscription to WOD Mag ;-)

The Paisley Pig Press on Etsy offers a few different styles of gear for men who want to showcase the feminist fire within. 

These aren't made in Denver, but they're just so darn cool. Get yours here.

A Railroad Ride up a 14er

A post shared by Georgetown Loop (@georgetown_loop_railroad) on Aug 27, 2017 at 9:24pm PDT

If your dad is fascinated with the heyday of the mining era, take him to visit the Georgetown Loop. The two and a half hour train ride and mining tour offers a glimpse into the golden days of the 1800s. 

The tour takes you through the Lebanon silver mines and they'll even let you and dad go pan for gold to see what it's really like. 

Be sure to bring a jacket, since it get's a little cool inside the mine. 

Get your ticket here.

A Balloon Ride

A post shared by Anna Bruce (@travelingbrucy) on Jan 9, 2018 at 5:57am PST

What better way to take in the glorious rocky mountains than in a hot air balloon!

Flying in a hot air balloon is a truly special experience. Being lifted into the air by a burst of flames and soaring over the earth in a basket seems pretty insane when you think about it, but when you're up there you never want to come down. 

This gift mixes a little thrill, with the inspiration of seeing the beautiful natural views Denver has to offer. With this gift you'll have a special moment of closeness and connection you may not get anywhere else.
