If you wish to visit a lodge, you should get the lodge meeting time from the lodge webpage. Some lodges have other meetings, such as degree work, that is not listed on their webpage. You can always call a lodge officer, and get the information on when a lodge meets. And many lodges serve a meal, prior to the meeting time.
You should arrive an hour early, so that you can take the examination. You will be required to show the signs/grips, and state the password(s). You may be required to swear the "Tyler's oath" where you will swear that you are a Mason in good standing. All Masons should be on guard, that only MM's in good standing will visit their lodge. The WM has the last word, though.
You should obtain a "Masonic passport", so that you can keep a record of the lodges you visit.
The depth and intensity of the investigation varies widely, depending on the lodge.
