Give Dad the Gift of Discovery Adventures

May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Instead of the predictable tie or coffee cup, give your Dad the gift of being on an adventure -- with you. Unforgettable Discovery Channel Experiences gift packages are packed with excitement and are just a click away from becoming reality. All you need to do is pull Dad off the couch and point him in the direction of new horizons.

Giving experiences has become a staple among gift-givers in Europe, and Discovery is betting that its adventure and exploration-themed programming will inspire more loved ones in the U.S. to help Dad live out his own Discovery fantasy.

"Every father is unique," said Patrick Gates, president and general manager of Discovery Commerce. "And for Father's Day, Discovery has taken a cue from some of its most popular programming to coordinate some truly incredible packages. Now it's up to you to go for it and make your Dad's secret wish come true."

If your Dad navigates the jungles of corporate America, give him taste of what lurks in the real wilderness with an exciting animal kingdom experience. Expert divers, zoologists, naturalists and other animal lovers share their passion and expertise and take clients where few civilians get to go -- and see animals in their real habitat. Get up close and personal with an amazing array of creatures from sharks to howling wolves.

All of the activities include experts who will guide you and your Dad and make the experience fun, safe and truly memorable no matter what element you are in. Discovery Channel Experiences is particularly fitting for the challenging-to-shop-for Dad.

For those Dads who love the outdoors, a day of survival training might be just the ticket to help him expand his horizons and survive in any environment. Whether he has a need for speed, knowledge, skill or discovery, there are a host of activities to choose from -- paleontologist for a day, family whitewater rafting, ice climbing, or even a zero gravity experience.

Every Discovery Channel Experiences gift arrives specially packaged in a signature red box, calling attention to the adventure waiting to happen. Make this Father's Day a day he will always remember because you took the time to plan a unique experience making sure that the two of you got to hang out.

This year, as you and your Dad leap together into the unknown and try new sports and adventures, you'll be breaking new ground by arranging a Discovery Experience!
