Father's Day weekend is just about here, and businesses all over the country are thanking dads with free food and other special discounts and deals.

Tons of local attractions offer free entrance for dads on Father's Day, so check your family's favorite spots for deals. Places with free admission for dads on Sunday include the Cincinnati Zoo, Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, and Typhoon Texas water park outside Austin. In most cases, the offers stipulate that guests must pay for at least one full-price admission in order for dad to get in for free.

Now, onto the free food and drink. Here are the special Father's Day freebies, available at participating locations of chain restaurants around the country.
