There’s a way to strike that perfect balance with a fun-filled adventure for every age with Wild Florida’s airboat tours. Whether you're wrangling toddlers or navigating the teen years, an airboat ride is an adventure where family fun comes naturally!
2 Years Old and Under
With no age requirement, even your tiniest family members can enjoy the excitement of Wild Florida’s airboat tours. With Wild Florida's focus on safety, our youngest passengers can experience the ride safely. Wild Florida provides life jackets and protective headphones for every little one on board.

Airboat rides can also be a fantastic adventure as your child grows and develops. For babies, every experience is a chance to explore the world through their rapidly developing senses, and an airboat ride is a perfect sensory adventure. What better way to engage with their visual development than through nature? The wetlands' vibrant greenery, the water's shimmer, and the occasional sight of wildlife will captivate their curious little eyes. Best of all, children two years old and under get in for free!
3 to 6 Year Olds
At the age of 3 to 6 years old, kids are full of curiosity and wonder. You may be constantly hearing them ask “why” questions, wanting to learn more about the world daily. On a Wild Florida airboat tour, our expert captains are ready to answer any questions your little one may have.
And there’s plenty to ask about when exploring the headwaters of the Everglades. Young kids love getting up close to Florida’s amazing wildlife. From spotting gators sunbathing to pointing out a heron flying over them, little ones will feel like they’ve stepped right into their very own real-life nature show! Not only is it a thrilling adventure, but it’s also an educational experience that can spark your child’s love for nature in a fun, hands-on way.
7 to 10 Years Olds
It's all too easy for kids to get glued to a screen, often missing out on the real-world adventures waiting outside. Wild Florida’s airboat tours provide the perfect opportunity to unplug from screens and dive into some family-friendly fun. Instead of swiping through wildlife videos, your kids can experience first-hand the thrill of spotting alligators, birds, and other wildlife in their natural habitat. And all while feeling the wind rush past as the airboat launches through the waters.
These tours can do more than entertain—they help broaden your child’s view of the world. Stepping into nature allows kids to explore new interests and discover passions they never knew existed. It’s not just an adventure. It’s a meaningful experience that could leave a lasting impression for years.
11 to 15 Year Olds
Finding an exciting and cool activity can be challenging for preteens and teens alike. But airboat tours hit that sweet spot perfectly. At 11 to 15 years old, kids are seeking more thrilling adventures, and there’s no better way to satisfy that craving than by zipping across Florida’s swamp waters at high speeds.
On top of that, airboat rides are the perfect family activity to show off on social media. The breathtaking scenery, up-close wildlife encounters, and the thrill of the ride provide endless photo and video opportunities. They’ll love capturing and sharing their unforgettable experience, all while making lasting memories as a family.
Don’t Forget! Your airboat tour includes free admission to our Gator Park, where the fun continues for kids and adults alike. Let your little explorers meet even more incredible animals, and maybe even snap an iconic #Slothie to capture the memories of your trip!
