    Our fire instructor did amazing job explaining the history of the gun and other things about the guns. He did a great job showing me and my girlfriend through the steps of shooting and making sure we safely had a good time. Overall cool as dude and also fellow veteran so shout out to him. Forgot his name but if you see this, hit me up because I wanted to tip you Was a fun experience for me and my girlfriend. We did the m249 package and I spent a little over 500$ like 540$ or something. Overall I can say the experience is worth it and can't wait to shoot again here soon!

    Amazing time!!! Staff super knowledgeable, friendly and assisted with everything. You literally just pull the trigger! Very fun experience. You literally play scar face while in MIAMi!

    This is one of the coolest places to visit if you are from out of town and like guns. Once you order at the gun counter they have an entire room designed to the evolution of warfare. From some of the first military helmets to the baddest of the bad, night vision evolution, mortars, rockets etc. after the shooting range part was over we received a cool challenge coin to remember our fun time at locked and loaded. Thanks guys!

    Decided to go here to celebrate a birthday and it was a perfect gift for a guy. He loved the experience and the ability to shoot different machine guns. We went on a Friday night, the place wasn't crowded at all. There was plenty of places to park in their lot. We had to wait about ten minutes to be taken into the shooting area. While waiting we was able to explore the museum and look at the different guns you can use. Our instructor was very friendly and explained everything well. He provided instructions on what was going to happen, how to use the gun, the type of guns in our package, and safety rules. We were provided eye protection and headphones that had connecting mics to hear the talking. I was provided ear plugs as well because my headphones wasn't suctioning to my ears. I wasn't going to be shooting any guns but was able to enter to watch within the range. I was able to record and take pictures. Our instructor also gave great tips for recording, like for certain guns he advised to record in slow motion. Which created an amazing video. It was a really great experience and my guy was really happy with this birthday surprise.

    We had a really great experience here at Lock and Load from the moment we walked in, to the moment we left, this place was so much fun. I had received a gift certificate to give this place a try and it was great. I made a reservation online which they say doesn't guarantee you a spot but does give you priority over walk-ins. I made the reservation for 11:30am on Sunday figuring that it wouldn't be very busy any way. When we arrived we were greeted immediately by the friendly staff at the front desk. I had a reservation but decided to bring my wife with me for the experience (she did get me the gift certificate after all). Jenny helped us to choose which of the packages we wanted to do that day or explained how we could create our own custom package if we wanted to. I selected the US Special Forces package for myself and the Express package for my wife. Once we were checked in, they just asked us to wait for a few minutes while they prepped the packages for us and invited us to look around their museum or to look over their wall of replicas that we could take off the wall if we wanted to get an idea of what we would be using that day. After a short wait, our instructor Chris called us up and took us into their prep room to provide us their safety instructions and explain how the experience would work. After the quick explanation he provided us with our ear and eye protection and lead us out to the range. Chris brought out each weapon one at a time for us and provided us with some of the background of each weapon as well as instruction of how to operate each one. I actually really appreciated knowing the information about the weapons because that's just the nerd in me that likes to know the history and tech specs of everything. Chris then walked us through loading and taking each weapon off safety and having the real fun which was being able to actual fire various fully automatic weapons in an extremely safe and controlled environment. Once we were done going through all the firearms in our packages, Chris rolled up our targets for us and walked us back to the prep room to send us off. Once we were done, we walked around their museum to look at the displays of all the other firearms they have their. The environment is incredibly fun and easygoing, while still maintaining safety and control. Chris was really great about answering our questions and making sure that we were able to enjoy this unique shooting experience. This was probably the most fun I have ever had at a gun range and really hope that I get to go back again soon and try some of the other packages out.

    Not bad for my first time EVER!

    Ok I'm from Chicago. Despite stereotypes and assumptions, I had never been around guns in person and definitely have never held a gun before! I figure while in Miami to just go full out and give it a try! I got the Express package and added on the handgun. The quick introduction was very succinct and straightforward. Then, it was off to shooting the target! I was very nervous and I'm sure my hands were shaking the entire time, but my instructor was great and gave me enough encouragement to feel good throughout the entire experience! Shooting a gun is wild, and shooting machine guns is even wilder! I definitely left with a greater respect for firearms and the power/responsibility that comes with it. Might even visit a range or two here at home! Oh and never change your panda logo, I love it! Don't forget to check out the free museum before or after your experience. It's extensive and was very interesting/informative. :)

    We were just driving by and noticed the side of the building and had to stop by. If you are a gun guy or girl this is a great place to visit. They have a great little exhibit area with modern and historical firearms. You can even rent different guns and give them a try on their range. The staff on duty the day we visited were three very nice ladies who knew their stuff. If you are a gun person or someone who wants to learn about those big bad (I am very much kidding) guns check this place out.

    I visited 5/12/24. It was such a fun experience. Every employee was so nice and seemed like they really enjoyed their job. The place is clean and a very cool escape from the Miami heat. I didn't get his name, but my instructor was so educated and patient and answered every single question I had. I will recommend everyone that visits Miami to come here! It was the highlight of my whole trip, seriously!

    THIS PLACE IS THE BOMB!!! I can't believe I am the first to review this spot! This was a treasure of a venue I just happened to walk by while I was doing some food exploration of the Wynwood area of Miami during my last day. I was on my way to get some donuts when I saw "free museum" and "automatic weapons" painted on the outside of the building that faced the street. This place is a dual threat of a venue. It is a free museum where you can see and learn about weapons and ordinance used in past wars. There are dozens of hand guns, rifles, and submachine guns on display. The cool part is there are two walls of actual weapons that you can literally pick up and remove and hold to examine. These are actual weapons (they are secured and cannot be fired) used by military and police around the world. There is even a 50-caliber rifle!!! The museum is not too large but there is plenty to look at. The other fun part of the museum is the weapons you can shoot. There is a literal menu of guns you can select from. Packages of weapons are also available which are grouped by country usually and represent the rifles and submachine guns used by that particular nation. Note, that this part is not exactly cheap -- the packages usually run around $200 for around 4 weapons to shoot and include 25 rounds per weapon. Individual guns are available "a la carte" and start around $70 and include 25 rounds. With the exception of certain sniper rifles, these are all full-auto capable weapons that you can shoot in the firing range. I chose the US special forces package for $220 ($239 with tax). This included an H&K MP5, Brugger & Thomet APC9, HK 416 assault rifle (used by Delta Force), and the mighty FN Herstal SAW M249 belt-fed rifle so often seen in all those FPS video games. I never fired a gun before so telling others it was an automatic weapon is cool. An instructor came in and gave me the low down on how to stand before I gathered my hearing and eye protection and we proceeded into the firing range. He gave me a low down on each gun before I fired. How to load the clip, disengaging the safety were shown before the magazine was removed and I was allowed to do the whole process myself before firing the weapon. This place is great. There is definitely a lot to see and if want to shell out then you can shoot too. The shooting portion is REALLY fun. It's short-lived, and pricey fun, but it creates a memorable experience. I would definitely come back here and would suggest that anyone that wants something unique from the basicness that is Miami should also pay a visit as well. If you are around, then stop by for sure. There are even individual bathrooms to use if you need to relieve yourself while indulging your inner child.

    Our first shooting experience. The service was friendly and the staff was with us throughout the whole session explaining and showing us what to do. The offer kids package. The free museum inside is pretty nice.

    This place is located next to fireman Derek's pie shop which is great because once you're finished with your dessert you can easily go over to this museum and it's free. I have to say I really liked coming in here they have a really cool selection of guns from different periods of time. Another thing is they also have an area where you could pose with a different guns but I also believe they also have a classes in there too so you may want to ask again a great find.

    It's an illogical, woke and fuddery location. You cant use your own ammo, and you must be a "member" just to use the range. It's insane.
