Best Boomerangs of 2026

"I was thrilled to give this boomerang to my son for Christmas! The size is impressive, and the soft foam design makes it safe for everyone. It's super easy for kids to throw and catch, and it really does return. We’ve already enjoyed hours of outdoor fun together. This is the perfect active gift for kids who love playing outside."

"My 7-year-old grandson had a blast with this boomerang! All the kids and even adults joined in, and it was a huge hit. The quality is great—it actually works and safely returns to whoever throws it. Definitely a fun and engaging toy for children."

"I bought this for my son, and we’ve both enjoyed it a lot. It’s light, soft, and floats in water, making it perfect for outdoor play near the pool or in the yard. The foam material means I don’t have to worry about injuries. It’s a great way to keep active and entertained!"

"After a few tries, I was tossing this boomerang and actually seeing it come back—sometimes almost perfectly. It made me feel like a real Aussie out there. It’s sturdy, fun, and definitely something I’d recommend, just make sure to avoid throwing it near woods!"

"My 7-year-old absolutely loves his boomerang. It took a bit of practice, but now he’s gotten pretty skilled at it. The colorful graphics make it even more appealing."

"We found that with some wind and a bit of practice, this boomerang really does come back. The kids figured it out even quicker than the adults did, and it keeps them busy outdoors."

"I bought this for my grandsons and they absolutely love playing with it outside for hours. It's a great way to keep them active and entertained!"

"As a beginner, I found this boomerang really easy to hold, and my five-year-old grandson enjoys it a lot. It's perfect for young kids learning how to throw."

"While we have fun trying to get it to come back, it doesn't always return as expected. Still, it's held up well and is great for family fun, especially for those just starting out."

"I bought this for my grandchildren, ages 8 and 6, and they're really enjoying it. It's been a great way for them to have fun outdoors."

"The instructions were super easy to follow, and when my first order arrived damaged, the company replaced it quickly. My kids absolutely love playing with it."

"While the boomerang isn't made from the sturdiest material and doesn't really come back like a traditional boomerang, my son is still having a blast with it. As long as he's happy, so am I."

"This boomerang became the highlight of our weekends at the park! I was skeptical, but the design is brilliant—the soft rubber edges make it easy for my kids to throw and catch, and the flight path is impressive, arcing smoothly back every time. The bright colors make it hard to lose, and being able to adjust the wingtips adds a fun, educational twist for older kids. Just a tip: make sure to use it in a huge, open area—it really flies far!"

"I've been throwing these boomerangs several times a week since the pandemic started. Following the inventor's instructions, I quickly got the hang of it and now it's part of my routine. For extra challenge and a workout, I throw it harder and really work up a sweat—burning 200-400 calories per session! It's a fantastic way to get aerobic exercise while having fun."

"It took me a while to relearn how to throw a boomerang, but after a few attempts, I got it. This model has a wider, longer arc than others I've tried, but it's actually easier to throw and catch. Just be careful—it doesn’t float, so it's not great for the beach, and it works best when there's little or no wind."

"I bought this as a fun and decorative gift for an Australian friend, and it was a hit for the occasion. While it's made of very thin wood and not really designed for serious throwing, it served its purpose as a humorous conversation piece and wall art."

"My five-year-old son loves how far and high it glides when he throws it, even though it doesn't always come back. It's a great option for younger kids who just want to see it fly, but be aware it travels pretty far if thrown well!"

"I noticed the boomerang is quite lightweight and doesn't really return, which was a bit disappointing. If you're looking for something that reliably comes back, you might want to invest in a sturdier version."

"I searched everywhere for a traditional boomerang as a gift for my grandson who’s fascinated by old hunting tools. When I finally found this one, I was relieved—it’s sturdy, wooden, and just what he wanted for Christmas. Despite the shipping delay, he was thrilled when it arrived and absolutely loves his new boomerang."

"This was my first boomerang, and I’ve had a great time learning to throw it. Be aware, though—it takes some practice to get it to return, so patience is key. The process has actually given me a good workout, since there’s plenty of running involved to fetch it. It’s fun and challenging, but not instantly easy."

"The boomerang is lighter and smaller than I expected, and unfortunately, it broke on the second day. I’m not a pro, but I have other boomerangs that have held up better. While it’s a nice unit, if you’re looking for something that will last a long time, keep in mind the durability."

"My grandson absolutely loves these and they've held up well during his weekend visits. They're just right for keeping at our house for playtime!"

"I picked these up for my 9-year-old, and I appreciate that the foam ones are safe for my 3-year-old to join in. While they don't always come back as expected, they still kept my kids entertained for a good while."

"Tried these with my son and found the material a bit flimsy; the wood one broke after a few throws. They didn’t really return as boomerangs should, but at least the foam ones are safe for younger kids."

"I've never really had luck with boomerangs before, but with this one, I was actually able to get it to return and even catch it on my first day. It's super fun for both adults and kids, and the bright orange makes it easy to spot. Only downside is you really need a lot of space, otherwise you might end up fishing it out of a tree like I did!"

"After trying a couple of other boomerangs, I found this one to be much sturdier and more reliable, especially in the wind. The polypropylene material feels strong, and even after a few crashes, it held up well. It took a bit of practice, but once I got the hang of it, the return rate was great."

"My son picked this up pretty quickly after watching a couple of tutorial videos. It's light, sturdy, and easy to use, but be warned: you need a big park or open field, because it covers a lot of distance! When it did get stuck in a tree, it survived the fall, but I ended up buying another because he enjoyed it so much."

"I got this for a four-year-old boy and it's been perfect for beginners. Unlike others we've tried, this one actually comes back when thrown and is soft enough that I don't worry about safety."

"Picked this up for my 5-year-old grandson. There was a bit of a learning curve, but by the end of the week, he had it down and we had so much fun together. I'd suggest it for kids five and older."

"It's a very lightweight boomerang, but I found it difficult to use. Even adults struggled to get it to return, so skill and technique seem important. I had a bit more luck with another type."
