Customer Reviews

Cool new place that will appeal to all ages. I have never been to a claw arcade but I like this place. It just opened up and the owner was working was very friendly and helpful explaining the concept and design. I initially had a hard time trying to figure out the name but once he explained it to me I see that it is a cool graphic. The neon lights and displays are very eye catching. They have lots of different level prizes and they appear to be of high quality. I didn't actually try any machine this time b

The place is amazing. Tokens are $1 each but discounted if you buy in bulk. The games are 1 to 2 coins to play. The owner was super nice and helped us win so many pokemon plush. You can also trade them in for larger plush behind the counter. Give this place a try! You won't regret it.

Owner is the sweetest man and has such a passion for his store!! Every machine had something cute I wanted and I love my prizes!!

Best experience ever! Beautiful place, well mannered employees and it's just so fun we won so much prizes with just $20!

My Family Loves this Place! Always a fun time winning and trading up to something bigger! All the kids leave happy every time we have been. The staff is super helpful if you have any questions just ask. They are amazing. Definitely coming back ASAP!

Such a fun place with extra sweet employees who offer to move prizes to help you win! You also automatically win after 10 tries which is very generous especially compared to other claw stores. The games only cost 1-2 tokens each, pretty cheap in my opinion! My daughter won 5 awesome quality plushies and keychains with just $20. Definitely recommended for all for the most adorable prizes. She loved all the authentic hello kitty plushies.

Great new claw/gacha location! Love the selection and redemption/trade policies.

The service was excellent and everything was explained so thoroughly questions weren't necessary. A lot of fun at Catching Fun

Best Claw place in town!

I had fun it's clean nice plushies and toys, one piece, Pokemon, hello kitty and Naruto. One piece wanted posters and Charles (the owner) is very nice and seems passionate about this

Went with the family as of this writing (6-28-25) staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Very welcoming environment and staff is quite encouraging! Highly recommend as this is one of the best claw machine spaces I've been to yet. Left with almost everything we wanted and will definitely return very soon!!!

My favorite claw place in town. Top notch plushies, friendly staff, and party space!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
