No age limit. It's about the money to pay for the flight.

I think by eight years old, they're mature enough to not touch any controls that they shouldnt be touching. from four to seven, they dont quite understand that yet.

Fifteen is fine. Have fun! You can't be PIC at 15, but that won't be for a while anyway.

You can do your introductory flight at what ever age you wish. the only age limits are that you must be 16 to solo and 17 to get first license.

There is no official minimum age for beginning flight training, but you can not solo until you are 16, you can not get your private pilot certificate until you are 17. My nephew just soloed 2 days after his 16th birthday after 13 hours of instruction in the preceding 2 months - the weather did not cooperate with his plan to solo on the big day!

There really is no age limit on an introductory flight, it is when ever you want to take one, they are very fun, and maybe the flight instructor will let you fly a little, it is a fun experience.
