Top Gun Range

Reviewed By crystallynmb

I came to Top Gun with my husband, in hopes of becoming more comfortable using our home's Glock 48. I arrived without any knowledge on the functioning of a gun, or how to properly handle/shoot a gun, so we made a personal training appointment with Ivan. I was so impressed with how proficient Ivan was in his training. He was experienced, thorough, easy to follow, and encouraging throughout the entire process! I left feeling not only knowledgable, but confident. We will be back again! Thank you Ivan!

To be honest, I didn't know how this was going to turn out and I was a little concerned because I can be claustrophobic (I kept that to myself), but this was far more challenging than I expected and great fun at the same time! We booked this for a birthday celebration for a couple of our adult sons, so this was a family adventure (6 adults). The best part was that each of us found key clues that contributed to the success of the game. This is perfect for people who love mysteries and problem solving!I'd also like to say that Jim and Jan were excellent hosts! We were running just a little behind, but they handled everything smoothly and graciously and made us feel perfectly at ease. Could not have been better!

Great fun for the whole family. We divide the room into sections and spread out looking for clues. The divide and conquer approach helps ensure everyone gets in the game. If we get stuck for too long and start to get frustrated we ask for a clue. A little nudge or two helps us keep the game moving. We had a blast.

My kids and I (ages 16-25) had the BEST time! This is definitely on our list to do again! It's a really cool twist on your normal every day escape room experience. I almost wish it lasted longer... time went really quickly! I'm excited to go back and try one of the other games.
