An Afternoon at TopGolf
Even if you aren’t a golfer, try Topgolf Marana. You can enjoy watching Dad track his stats on the fancy computerized system! Enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, happy hour, or dinner, and drinks on the rooftop patio.
Beer-Loving and Foodie Dads
Craft Beer
For craft beer, Catalina Brewing Company and Button Brew House are some of the most popular microbreweries, with both offering beer made with Sonoran Desert ingredients and unique seasonal beers. 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.
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!
