The Machine Gun America theme park in Orlando, Florida has already made couples, kids and families gun-crazy, which was first opened in December.

At Machine Gun America, which is only six miles from Disney World, kids as young as 13 can shoot military-grade firearms at custom targets or in simulated experiences, no prior experience required, the Fox News reported.

Wes Doss, director of safety and training at Machine Gun America, said that there's also a big international draw, as folks from the U.K. and New Zealand are thrilled because this activity is often illegal or banned in their home country.

Visitors get to choose from a range of weapons, including MP5s, M4s, and Glock 17s, and can pick the experience they want. There's a zombie, Special Operations and even a "007" simulation. Unlike a traditional gun range, no outside weapons are allowed. Kids must be at least 13 years of age to enter Machine Gun America. Kids who are younger than 18 must be accompanied by the adults. All tots and tykes under 12 years of age are not allowed to enter the areas where guns are fired but the park maintains a play zone where children can play video games.

Shooting simulation experiences start are 30 dollars but tickets to shoot real weapons start at 99 dollars and up depending the type of gun people choose to shoot.
