Swinging Into Summer
Enjoying the sunny weather outside is a fundamental part of any summer day, so ditch the tech and start the fun outside. There are plenty of activities for dads and kids to do together. For example, enjoying a cool morning by starting off your “Dad Day of Fun” taking the kids golfing is a great way for everyone to get some exercise and have a blast, no matter the skill level. Putting on the green is a great way for dads to teach their kids new skills learning the game and spending quality time together outdoors. And of course, who doesn’t love cruising on a golf cart
on paths through acres of scenic courses? Windsor is home to multiple public courses that offer a great place for families to try their swing at the sport, so explore the outstanding list of locations all around the Windsor area.

Playing outside in the summer sun is a sure way to work up an appetite. So if you find yourself and the family in need of a bite to eat, make sure to grab a delicious snack to refuel before continuing your day of fun. Windsor is home to a wide variety of places to grab a snack, so make sure to check out a list of tasty places and bring your family to one of Windsor's many yummy eateries.
A Sweet Treat for a Sweeter Day
Nothing says summer like an ice cream sundae. Beat the afternoon heat and make sure to stop by an ice cream shop for a sweet treat. Wow your kids with a delicious collection of ice cream flavors and treats that will be the cherry on top of any afternoon. And don’t worry, dads, most cafes also offer a selection of coffee and smoothies that will be the perfect refreshment to continue your day of fun. Maybe even let the kids pick out a unique gift for mom at one of the many shops on Main Street.
Lake Days are the Best Days
After savoring your delicious snacks, finish off the afternoon and walk right down the street to Windsor Lake. There is no shortage of recreational opportunities that will ensure everyone in the family finds something fun to do! Enjoy a cool dip at the swim beach, walk along the 2.25-mile trail along the perimeter, go fishing off the dock, spot a pelican or two, take your furry friends to the enclosed dog park, or enjoy Boardwalk Park around the lake relaxing with your family. Any summer day is a great day, so don’t hesitate to take the family out for a world of adventures and fun in Northern Colorado.
