Nice range, have been going there for years, with exception to shooting my A/R 556, go to Pint and Pistol for that, Range employees at helpful, and outstanding! One exception on this review, in regards to FFL use someone else, recently after ordering a firearm I chose them as my FFL, weapon arrived at 1030, I was told I could not pick up for a few days or more, last time I ordered a AR 556 it arrive at us gunshot in Titusville at 10am, they called me to pick up at 2 pm that afternoon, they completed required federal paperwork ASAP, since I have a carry permit I was at home getting familiar with my new firearm same day they received it!! Awesome turnaround!

We enjoyed this place so very much. My wife’s Grandfather was an Orange County office killed one the line of duty, so this was a special place. The staff was friendly and the exhibits were informative and interesting. It kept my 12 and 6 year old very occupied for two hours. It’s an affordable family activity.

This museum is very interesting, it has lots of Police cars and vehicles, some intresting exhibits and a large collection of firearms. There is a challenge at the heart of the museum and the collection is built around it. It is a very poignant and respectfully done, with lots of story's about fallen officers and memorials too them. I think it must be very comforting to there family's to have such a place paying tribute to there service. There is a gun range attached to the museum. If you shoot there you get a discount on museum entry but you must shoot first. Gun rental plus museum entry is $38 dollars including 50 rounds of 9mm ammunition. If you just wish to enter the museum its $13 for adults, $8 for kids, $2 for serving officers, $10 for senior citizens and serving military. They have some nice things for sale in the gift shop. I spent about 2 hours looking round the museum and shooting. Very nice place with friendly and helpful staff. If you want to shoot you will need ID, a passport is needed if your from outside the US.

As a serving police officer from Queensland, Australia I found this very interesting. It was also a very moving experience seeing the memorial to the 6000 officers who have lost their life in the line of duty since 1960.

We have three teenage sons and as a surprise i wanted to take them for an experience they would never have back home. Having seen and read reviews on some of the other ranges I felt more confident that we would be looked after at the Police range. I called the range and spoke to Steve who is a very helpful guy and explained my wishes, "no problem come along and Paul will sort you out". Next day we turned up at 4pm and met Steve and Paul who were really friendly and explained the range rules. Then they selected some pistols and ammo before showing us into two lanes. Despite having never fired a pistol before the boys took to it like ducks to water and before long we were popping of clips left, right and centre. Paul is a hugely experienced special forces and Police veteran, he was so calm, funny engaging and informative that we felt really comfortable handling the weapons, Once he was comfortable with our weapon handling Paul left us to it, checking every now and then that we were all good. After an hour or so we asked if we could change weapons "No problem" said Steve, "What do you want?" It was at this point the boys' eyes lit up. There was a large armoury of handguns, machine guns and assault rifles. We ended up taking an assault rifle and spent the next hour and a half videoing and taking pictures of the boys firing with huge smiles on their faces. Then that we realised we had been in three hours, where had the time gone? As we handed over the guns i asked with baited breathe the cost.....£230 dollars, i couldn't believe how cheap it was compared to other ranges and the boy's smiles and memories were worth every dollar. What did we learn? Guns are obviously very dangerous and have to be respected and handled with care, the Police range was a fun, safe and welcoming enviroment with two great guys running the show. If you have teens this is a must do holiday stop and it's the one thing the boys always talk about with a new respect. We loved it and will return, having visited Kennedy, Busch, Universal and a selection of other great places, this was one of our favourite places, we will be back.

I am so glad that I stumbled upon information on this hidden treasure. I had been to the Kennedy Space Center and had never even realized that right beside it was the police hall of fame. The museum is not small, but don't let that fool you. Contained within it's walls are lots of treasures. You can see several police vehicals, police armor, weapons, and lots of criminal history. There are mock cells, torchure/death devices, mock crime scenes and so much more. Kids can dress like a police officer, make a police badge and participate in other hands on exhibits. One of the most interesting things is a computer where you can create a picture of the "criminal" using various tools. We tried recreating ourselves which was pretty interesting. The center of the museum is a monument to all the fallen officers. We found the name of a friend on there which was sad and also comforting. If you have a chance to go, don't miss this treasure.

In September, 2006, I visited this Museum. I spent hours there and enjoyed every minute of it. I found the museum visitor friendly and well worth the trip.
There are many historical police artifacts throughout the exhibits.
Hundreds of police badges and thousands of police patches. I even found several very old police badges from my home town in Illinois.
In addition, this museum houses a very sombering memorial to the thousands of United States Police Officers that lost their lives in the line of duty.
I highly recommend this memorial and museum!

Neat little museum that I spent just over an hour in. I loved the police cars and bikes. They have a nice variety of policing memorabilia from all over the country. I loved the police pinball machine as well. Some of the displays looked like they could use updating. The array of police patches is fascinating. The tribute to fallen law officers is incredibly moving and beautifully done.
