Early Riser and Outdoor-Loving Dads

Morning Hike or Bike Tour

Take Dad on a hike or bike ride in the Tortolita Mountains, with nine different trails for all skill levels, complete with a variety of terrain and scenery. On the other side of Marana, you can trek through the magnificent cactus forests and rugged slopes of the Tucson Mountains in Saguaro National Park West.

If Dad is more into cycling, try a ride up and back down Dove Mountain Boulevard, or hit The Loop Shared-Use Path, starting at the El Rio Preserve and running along the Santa Cruz River.

Birding Expedition

Marana is one of the prime locations in the country for bird-watching! Check out our guide to birding hotspots in Marana and around Southern Arizona. The El Rio Preserve, in the Continental Ranch neighborhood, is one of the best locations, with over 250 species, lush vegetation, and walking trails.

Golf-Loving Dads

The Golf Club at Dove Mountain

Book a Tee Time at one of Marana's Beautiful, Championship-Level Golf Courses.

For the avid golfer, nothing beats The Golf Club at Dove Mountain (which previously played host to the Accenture Match Play tournament), The Highlands at Dove Mountain, and Quarry Pines. All of Marana's golf courses feature creative, challenging holes, spectacular views, and on-site dining options.

An Afternoon at TopGolf

Even if you aren’t a golfer, try Topgolf. You can spend some quality time with Dad and add some friendly competition to your day. While you're playing, you can enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and refreshing drinks. Check out their rooftop bar after you're done!

Beer-Loving and Foodie Dads

Craft Beer

Marana is home to two craft breweries, Catalina Brewing Company and Button Brew House. Both offer beer made with Sonoran Desert ingredients and unique seasonal beers. Try a pour or a flight from each and see which one Dad likes better.

And although they don't brew their own beers, Casa Marana, Growler's Taphouse, Dove Mountain Brewing Company, and Caps & Corks all feature a wide variety of craft beers from around Southern Arizona, in addition to great food and cocktails.

Dinner at One of Marana's Restaurants

If it's a great steak you're looking for, you can't go wrong with Li'l Abner's Steakhouse for authentic, mesquite grilled steak, cooked outside – just like Dad’s. Or check out one of Marana's many other great restaurants!

Arts & Culture-Loving Dads

Movie Night

Take Dad to the movies at Harkins Arizona Pavilions 12 and then to nearby Casa Marana Craft Beer + Wine, one of the top hangout spots in Marana, or one of the other local restaurants nearby!

Visit Guitar Center

If your Dad is into music then you must head over to Guitar Center to whet his appetite for picks, strings, or bigger equipment (toys). Oh, the choices!

Restore and Restyle
