Stuck on what to do for Father’s Day in Sacramento? Here are some ideas

Looking for something a little off the beaten track for Father’s Day activities in Sacramento?

The annual Sunday holiday falls on June 21, this year.

Father’s Day was first celebrated in 1910 in Washington state, mainly as an offshoot of Mother’s Day, which was established six years earlier by President Woodrow Wilson, History.com said.

But the day honoring dads didn’t become a national holiday until 1972.

Along with the perhaps more traditional picnic, celebratory dinner, hike, round of golf or other family get-together, here are some additional options for spending the day with dad.

Here’s what to know:

Root for the home team

The A’s take on the Los Angeles Angels at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento.

The game begins at 1:05 p.m. Sunday and includes a Hawaiian shirt giveaway for the holiday, MLB said. Arrive early before the shirts run out.

Early-arriving fans can enjoy complimentary ice cream while supplies last, and children under age 14 are invited to run the bases at the stadium after the game ends.

Relax on the river

City Cruises offers a one-hour Father’s Day ride along the Sacramento River.

The cruise, which has a causal attire dress code, features a full bar with cocktails, wine and beer available for purchase.

It also will feature live narration on Sacramento River facts and history.

Seating is limited for the cruise, which begins boarding at 11:45 a.m. on Front Street between K and L streets. Advance ticket purchasesa and reservations are recommended.

Sunday drives in a classic car

Visitors to the California Automotive Museum on the third Saturday of each month get a “Sunday drive” in a classic car with the price of admission, the museum said.

The museum, 2200 Front St., is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the last admission at 4 p.m.

It features more than 130 vintage vehicles along with rotating and special exhibits, the museum said.

Exhibits include an 1880s Columbia “Penny Farthing” bicycle, a 1900 Locomobile steam car and several early Ford cars, including a 1908 Model T.

Other exhibits include classic cars of the 1950s and 1960s all the way up to modern electric vehicles.

Train excursion along the river

The California Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento offers 45-minute train excursions along the Sacramento River.

Trains depart from the Central Pacific Passenger Station at 930 Front St. in Old Sacramento.

Because the trains are historic, wheelchairs, mobility devices and strollers are not allowed in the coaches, which must be entered via narrow stairways.

Excursions depart from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday.
