I hope you enjoy shooting very much. Generally speaking, the best kind of range is the one available to you. Outdoor ranges are not as loud and the air is probably healthier to breathe. Indoor ranges have retractable target holders so you don't have to walk the range or wait for others, and indoor ranges are the only thing practical within a large urban area. By exceedingly far, the best place to shoot is simply some open space where it's lawful. There is a lot of public land, especially in the western US where you can just find a place on your own with a good backstop and shoot. This can include National Forest, BLM, State and County lands. You'll want to make sure it's lawful and that you're sufficient distance from dwellings and roadways and that you follow safe practices, but you'll find it's far more enjoyable than any shooting range. You can shoot all kinds of targets like soda cans, water jugs, steel, ice blocks, potatoes, pumpkins, watermelons, and on and on (there's whole threads on fun target ideas). Do be sure to clean up your mess and take all your trash before leaving. In a place like this, you'll also avoid having a bunch of strangers of questionable skill and judgment shooting guns in close proximity to you. I only ever go to a range to rent guns (to try them if I'm considering buying) and for training (classes).
That's the other thing I want to recommend. Get training. A good idea for starting would be an Appleseed class. I don't see how you could possibly regret doing one of those. Beyond that, "tactical" style carbine classes are pretty popular and being offered in most places nowadays. You should also consider learning handgun skills. If you're not 21, you'll have to acquire a handgun through a legal private sale since FFL's are prohibited from selling to those under 21, but you are not prohibited from buying. A handgun also chambered in .22LR is a good place to start.
