Father’s Day Itinerary: A Full Day of Adirondack Adventure
8:00 AM – Wake Up Call with Coffee & Fuel for the Day
Start the day right with a hearty, energizing breakfast. Stop in Downtown Bolton Landing at a local café like Bear’s Cup, where Dad can enjoy a strong Adirondack roast and a fresh-made protein boost breakfast. This will set the tone (and the energy level!) for what’s to come.

9:30 AM – Arrive at Adirondack Extreme Adventure Course
Located at 35 Westwood Forest Lane, just off Route 9N, Adirondack Extreme is the original aerial adventure course in the U.S. With multiple high ropes courses, challenging obstacles, and zipline combos, there’s a course for every adventure level.

Deal Alert: Dad’s climb FREE on Father’s Day. The “Adventure + Zipline Combo” is a fan favorite—up to 3.5 hours of climbing, swinging, and flying through the trees.

2:00 PM – Optional Afternoon Tubing with Tubby Tubes
If Dad’s ready to switch gears and unwind after the climb, head just 20 minutes south to Tubby Tubes River Co. in Lake Luzerne. Their Lazy River Tubing experience is perfect for floating away the day—cool water, beautiful views, and all the relaxation Dad deserves. Book in advance, and make sure to bring a towel and water shoes.

5:00 PM – Cap It Off with a Cold Pint & Adirondack Eats
After a day in the trees and on the river, reward your crew with a well-earned meal at one of Bolton Landing’s taverns or waterfront restaurants. Top picks include:

Bolton Landing Brewing Company – Craft beer brewed on-site, plus burgers, wings, and a kid-friendly menu.

Frederick’s Restaurant & Lounge – A relaxed Adirondack vibe with hearty meals and a solid beer list.
