If you're scrambling to find the perfect gift for Father's Day, don't procrastinate any longer. This list of experiences will save the day!

Every year, I find myself in the same spot as Father's Day rolls around—Googling what I should buy my dad. He has everything he possible would need in life, but I still want to show him just how much I appreciate all he does for me!

You're a procrastinator, too? Instead of celebrating ON Father's Day, why not share an experience with him that will be so much more meaningful?

Live at Levings Summer Concert Series

If you have a music-loving dad like me, this is the place to take him this summer. From now until August 11th, Levings Park in Rockford, Illinois will have incredible live music and food vendors! On June 30th, there will be a 'Baddest Band in the Land' event where bands go head-to-head. Sounds fun!

Visit a Giant Arcade in Chicago

Feel like a kid again and spend a day at one of the largest arcades in the world. Galloping Ghost Arcade is iconic!

"Galloping Ghost Arcade, the largest arcade in the U.S., is in Brookfield, Illinois, and at present count, the number of video games you can play is 885, according to their website. And the games are always set to 'free play' so you can go nuts all day and night." [Steve Shannon]

If you find stumped this Father's Day, hopefully my list can inspire you before the big day. You know your dad the best... what does he REALLY need other than a new pair of New Balance and another tool set?
