Dad goals: What to get a footy lover on Father’s Day

The last thing your dad wants is another pair of socks. Or a bulk-sized block of chocolate, which mum insists he doesn't need.

With Father's Day around the corner, why not give him something to get him out of his seat in time for the footy finals? For Melbourne dads, this could be an MCG Tour and Australian Sports Museum Combo, secured at a significant discount.

Adelaide fathers can scale the revamped Adelaide Oval and get a sky-high angle on one of Australia's most historic stadiums, made possible with RedBalloon experiences.

If Dad happens to be a revhead or a car lover, RedBalloon has a garage full of options.

Take the wheel of either a Ferrari Modena 360, which Pierce Brosnan drove as James Bond in Die Another Day, or a Holden or Ford V8 Supercar, with an opportunity to better Craig Lowndes' track time around the famous Sandown raceway.

That's with a full race suit and V8 gear, of course.
