Kids Birthday & Family Airboat Tours
Skip the bounce house — give the birthday kid real alligators. An Aces family airboat tour turns a birthday into an adventure the whole crew remembers, with a gentle, kid-friendly pace, a native captain full of gator facts and a front-row seat for every child. Ten minutes off the Sawgrass Expressway.
“Text or call me and I’ll get you out on the water — I can’t wait to see you out in the swamp!”— Captain Billy, owner & native Everglades guide
Turn a Birthday Into a Real Adventure
Every kid has been to the same trampoline park and the same pizza place. None of them forget the day they saw a real ten-foot alligator glide past the boat. A kids birthday airboat tour with Aces trades the same old party for a genuine Everglades adventure — a gentle, kid-friendly ride across the sawgrass with a native captain who turns the whole trip into a wildlife lesson full of gators, turtles and wading birds.
Our captains grew up out here and know exactly how to keep the pace fun but easy for younger children — thrilling enough to light up the birthday kid, gentle enough for grandparents and toddlers too. Reserve one of our airboats for a private family ride, or book the 15-passenger group boat so the whole party stays together. It is the perfect follow-up to a relaxed daytime family tour.
- Real wild gators up close — the birthday story that beats any party favor.
- Gentle, kid-friendly pace set by a captain who is great with children.
- Front-row seat for every child — no bad seat, no kid stuck in the back.

“Booked this for my son's 8th birthday instead of the usual party and it was the best decision. He counted eleven alligators and would not stop talking about it for a week. Our captain was amazing with the kids.”
“Three generations came out from Parkland for my dad's birthday — grandkids, parents and grandparents all on one boat. Gentle enough for the little ones, exciting for everyone. Every seat was a front-row seat. Perfect.”
“The kids were glued to the captain the whole time asking gator questions. So much better than another trampoline park. Ten minutes from home to real wilderness. We will be doing this every birthday from now on.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Is an airboat tour safe for young kids?
Yes. Our native captains keep the pace gentle and fun for younger children, and every rider gets hearing protection on a stable, well-maintained boat. It is exciting for the birthday kid and comfortable for toddlers and grandparents alike. Call 561-660-2419 with your kids' ages and we will match the right ride.
Can we book a private boat for a birthday party?
Absolutely. Reserve a private airboat for just your family, or book our 15-passenger group boat so the whole birthday party stays together. Tell us your headcount and the ages when you book and we will set it up.
Will the kids actually see alligators?
Almost always. Our captains know exactly where the wild gators are and love showing kids alligators, turtles and wading birds up close. We see gators on the vast majority of tours, though as with any wild wildlife nothing is ever guaranteed.
What ages can go on the tour?
All ages are welcome. There is no age too young or too old to enjoy an Aces family airboat tour — we regularly host grandparents to grandkids on the same boat. Just let us know who is coming so we can pick the gentlest, best-fit ride.
Where do family tours depart from?
From any of our three South Florida pickup points: Stub Canal in Tamarac, the Sawgrass Expressway at Atlantic Blvd, or The Landing at 15490 Loxahatchee Rd in Parkland. Pick whichever is closest to Fort Lauderdale or Parkland when you book.
