Here are some activities you can do with every type of dad:

Your dad may have been driving you everywhere as a kid, now it's time to race him as an adult. For the dad who loves a good competition, take him to a go-kart track where he can speed all his wants without worrying about getting caught by speed traps (or a nagging wife). :P

Here are several go-kart tracks around Malaysia:
1. Evolt Karting in Subang Jaya
2. Morac Go Kart Track in 1 Utama Shopping Centre
3. Kart Hauz in Penang
4. TraXion Karting in Petaling Jaya
5. City Karting in Shah Alam
6. Sepang International Kart Circuit in Sepang
7. Pinnacle Kart in Subang Jaya
8. Blastacars Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur
9. Formula Karting in Petaling Jaya

A dad who loves an adrenaline rush is a dad worth taking paragliding. Give him a thrilling experience where he can dangle his legs hundreds of metres in the sky while enjoying a different view of Malaysia up in the air.

Here's a list of places you can go paragliding in Malaysia.

If your dad enjoys a family activity that gets you active, book a session at this bowling alley in Mid Valley Megamall or badminton court in Petronas Twin Towers. It won't be a typical experience and still heaps of fun!

You might need to make a bit of a drive for this one but it's totally worth it. Gua Tempurung is known as one of the longest and largest limestone caves in Peninsular Malaysia.

Aside from the incredible views inside the cave, you'll be taken on a tour that ranges in level of difficulty.

For the more adventurous dad, select the advanced levels, which will take you on an exhilarating journey through tunnels, chambers, and streams as you slide, climb, and crawl through holes!

Pusat Pelancongan Gua Tempurung,

If your dad loves a sentimental moment, holding a photoshoot with the family, or just you, will surely be a memory he'll treasure for a long time. And there'll be evidence of when it happened too! :P

Make it extra special by setting a theme or dress code.

Here are some self-photoshoot studios in the Klang Valley:
1. Meers Studio at Jalan Ampang
2. Suafoto Studio at Wangsa Maju
3. Ohneulstudio at Cheras
4. ONESIGHT at Petaling Jaya

If you have younger kids and wanna let your husband know what a great dad he is, plan a family trip to the petting zoo or bird park where everyone can bond and have a good time together.

Farm In The City is a popular petting zoo in Seri Kembangan with animals like alpacas, raccoons, meerkats, and more. The KL Bird Park is also a fun place where many of the birds roam freely, allowing you to get up close and personal.

The best part about fishing is that there are long periods of time spent together, especially for the dad who appreciates quality time and enjoys a good talk. 

Here are some fishing spots in KL and Selangor.

If fishing isn't his thing, prawning is a slightly different activity you can consider. Utama Prawning is a place in Bandar Utama that lets you catch as many tiger prawns as you can in an enclosure and take them home for a meal!

Is your papa someone who loves being one with nature? Camping is the way to go! You can go the extra mile by buying him some camping essentials before your trip.

Here are are some campsites in Malaysia. If he prefers 'glamping', we've got some options here and here.

If you have no budget but still wanna treat your nature-loving dad to a special memory, plan a waterfall trip together. Some of them have hikes, but there are also many that aren't too taxing for your old man.
