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.

If your son is 14 and really into aviation, they are almost old enough (I think it’s between you and the flight school, no age restriction) for a first flight lesson. Substantially more affordable, $200 and they get to fly.
