The cost to operate/man/ventilate/properly clean and maintain a public indoor range pretty much eliminates "free" unless you have some sort of membership that you paid big money for... but then, that wouldn't be free either.
One of the not so local to me, but popular indoor ranges in one of the more "high end" parts of the region charges as follows:
Lane Use Fees
Sunday – Friday
First person: $15.00
Each additional person: $10.00 (up to 3 max)
Saturday
First person: $20.00
Each additional person: $15.00 (up to 3 max)
And this for rentals:
