Is he a movie buff? Classics films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and All That Heaven Allows, Sirkwill be premiering all weekend long at the Sidewalk Film Center + Cinema. Check out the cinema’s schedule here.

5. Golf with him on the course or at TopGolf
Pack up your clubs and take your dad golfing right here in Birmingham. Even if you aren’t a member somewhere, there are many open public courses in and around town. Limestone Springs, the Robert Trent Jones courses, Roebuck Golf Course and Highland Park are all great options!
Both you and your dad will enjoy the fun atmosphere at TopGolf. This high-tech driving range tracks each golf ball and automatically scores each player. The venue also includes a kitchen with delish entrees and drinks.
