This Sunday, June 19, is Father's Day, when children are expected to show appreciation for all their dads have done with genuinely thoughtful gifts—basically, the opposite of these—or at least some heartfelt words of thanks.
Meanwhile, a wide range of businesses are demonstrating their appreciation for dads by essentially telling them warmly, "You're money's no good here" on Father's Day weekend. For example, dads can take advantage of free day cruises in Florida, free trolley rides in Illinois, and free admission for dads in select museums, zoos, and aquariums all over the country on Sunday. There's usually a requirement that some money is trading hands, mind you: At Connecticut's Mystic Aquarium, for instance, dads receive free admission on Saturday or Sunday this weekend with the purchase of another full-price admission.
And, just as moms were enticed with plenty of free food promotions for Mother's Day, dads get to benefit from lots of food giveaways this weekend. Indie restaurants in cities such as Chicago and Boston have special Father's Day deals, and Coupons.com rounded up a comprehensive list of Father's Day freebies that's worth checking out. Below are what we consider the best Father's Day free food offers from restaurant chains with multiple locations around the country.
