Take Dad and the family to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom On Fathers Day, June 19. Thrill Dad on the new SkyScreamer ride. Then take him sailing to Merlin’s Island Party where he'll enjoy Atlantic bottlenose dolphins doing aerial tricks. This year's Fathers Day entertainment is the Santana tribute band Rhythm Vandals.

If Dad wants a more hands-on experience with the dolphins, you can book him a Swim with the Dolphins package, with or without park admission, gourmet lunch with wine, and/or photo. You can buy him a pass to go backstage, to get a close look at the exotic animals. And if you don't want him to wait in any lines, buy him a VIP tour.

Check the website for details. Buy tickets here then print them at home.

Grab a friend and sit two across in an open air swing as you climb to the top of SkyScreamer tower while spinning round and round. At full swing, you'll soar in a 98-foot circle at speeds over 43 mph.
