Five things to do with Dad this Father's Day

Wild Wheels takes place at MOTAT this Sunday.

Father's Day is on Sunday and if you haven't already arranged something, fret not! Here are five great ideas to celebrate the day with your Dad.

1. Wild Wheels at MOTAT

If Dad's a petrolhead, chances are he'll love this special Father's Day treat at MOTAT. Featuring a wide range of classic cars on display, a beer tent and a live band, this event runs from 10am to 4pm on Sunday. There's also face painting and other children's activities to keep the younger members of the family entertained.

Where: Motat, 805 Great North Rd, Western Springs, Auckland
When: 10am to 4pm
Cost: Normal admission fees apply

2. Take him to the movies

Nothing beats a good movie and there's sure to be something playing for the dads this Sunday. Straight Outta Compton is great for hip hop fans, but if that's not his thing there's Southpaw for the more sports oriented father, or the latest Mission Impossible flick for the action fan.

Where: Your local cinema
When: You decide
Cost: Adults $20, Children $10

Straight Outta Compton is in cinemas now.

3. Father's Day Man Tea at the Pullman Auckland

You won't see any delicate little cakes or cucumber sandwiches at this masculine twist on the traditional High Tea. With a great selection of bite-sized treats - including Hawke's Bay twice cooked Savannah beef short ribs, beer battered onion rings and free range sticky pork hock - it's sure to get the big guy's mouth watering. Be sure to book in advance - this event sold out in three days last year.

Where: Corner Princes Street and Waterloo Quadrant, Auckland
When: 11:30am to 1:30pm, 130pm to 3:30pm, 3:30pm to 5:30pm
Cost: $49.90 per person, $22.50 per child

If your Dad - or Granddad even - is a bit of a model train nut, he'll probably know about this event already, but surely he'd appreciate some company. This layout of model trains will be running for one day only and it's the result of ten people each building their dream railway section and putting them all together. There's a range of New Zealand and international scenery and a variety of trains running all day.

Where: The Studio in Taku Tamaki, Auckland Museum
When: 10:00am to 5:00pm
Cost: Free

5. Breakfast in bed

A black pudding and fried egg sandwich will go down a treat.

Sure, you could take him out for a fancy meal - but what's more special than a home cooked brekkie in bed? Just make sure you do it right. Bite has some great recipes to try out, including a black pudding and fried egg sandwich and breakfast burritos . Or give the Topp Twins' favourite Father's Day recipe a go at dinner time.

Where: Your house
When: Whenever dad wakes up
Cost: You decide
