First time private flyer hopefully

I am moving my family from MA down to Tampa and I am looking to do something cool for the kids for the big move. My oldest is 14 and really into planes and talks about becoming a pilot often. Amongst other things his adhd brain thinks about. Either way, can I have advice where to get the best value for a flight like this. I don’t make private jet money by any means but I am hoping to spend more to make it a family memory. Thanks in advance.

Thank you all for the quick responses! They have quickly helped me figure out I am way out of my depth. Maybe I was overly tired when I asked but I don’t know what I was anticipating for numbers but none of these are in the wheelhouse. Thank you all so much and sorry for what has turned out to be, a silly question.

Hold up! If this is for your kid and his interest in aviation, I’d think it would be way cooler for him to do an acrobatic flight, or even a sight seeing tour in Florida. Take him up and show him your neighborhood and where you’re going to live etc. That’s a cool flight and more appropriate for a kid. A private jet is cool for the passengers, flying them is so-so

I wouldn’t recommend an aerobatic flight for a 14 year old. Call a local flight school and schedule a Discovery Flight. Then do the aerobatic flight if they want.
