Crews take a small soft toy along and hang it on a string in the cabin. On the way up it is pulled down hard; the moment the engines stop and everything is falling together, it floats. That float is the indicator: you can see on camera that you've reached zero g. Drag through a launch:
T+0:001.0 g
A typical crewed launch with round numbers: about three g at the hardest, about nine minutes to orbit. Not the figures for any particular flight.

Take Floof on the same tour: the water dispenser, the science freezers, then the crew quarters for a nap. Arrow keys or WASD puff air. There's no gravity and next to no friction, so whatever you push keeps going until you puff the other way. Bumping a wall is just a soft boop, but every boop and every second counts. Arrive slowly to be tucked in gently.

You don't need a rocket for a few moments of zero g, just a drop. While something falls, everything inside it falls with it, so a toy inside a falling box floats. How long you get depends only on how far it falls.
0.45 s of weightlessness, landing at 16 km/h (no air resistance)
For longer, research planes fly up-and-over arcs that give roughly 20 seconds of weightlessness each. The space station gets it all the time: it's falling around the Earth so fast that the ground keeps curving away.
