5 stars - Absolutely Incredible Experience! We had the most amazing time at this claw machine arcade! The staff went above and beyond to help us throw a last-minute surprise birthday for my sister. They were so accommodating?setting up a cute little table for us and making the whole space feel festive and welcoming. What really stood out was how kind and attentive the staff were. They were constantly checking in, helped reposition claw machine items so the kids had a better shot, and even offered swaps an
Took the grandkids today and I am now on list of most awesome mimi's ever. The Claw Arcade was so much fun. The man working gave advice on how to win but the little ones were to excited to try it lol. He opened machines several times to set them up better. You still needed a bit of luck. Ad when my granddaughter was out of coins , he gave her 1 more try. They were all smiles and said this was the best summer ever. We finished off with a couple drinks out of cooler. They had to push a marble down to open the
My husband and I came here for the first time ever and I will have to say it's super fun and addicting! LOL the owner is super nice, very encouraging, and makes you feel very welcomed. I love how all of the claw machine were only 1 token and the owner is always willingly to adjust the plushies for you to grab. Definitely a 5/5 star experience, cannot wait to come back and bring my kids to try it out!
Had a wonderful time at Claw Arcade. My family we came in and asked if we could do a birthday surprise inside. The staff's here were so kind and offered us a table so we could set our cupcakes. They are incredibly kind and generous. I would highly recommend bringing friends and family to this establishment.
This place is great. Very friendly staff. They have no problem fluffing the claw machine up so you can win. All games are 1 token to play. 1 token = $1. However, they have packages where the more tokens you buy, the better the deal on tokens you get. You can keep what you win or trade them in for bigger prizes. We definitely will be back!
Dropped in as a last minute idea ??and we're not disappointed. The staff were engaged and very kind. My daughter (4) and son (1) enjoyed the games and atmosphere. Very clean and well maintained. Great selection of stuffies!
Absolutely loved the lady that was working she was super sweet and made sure all the machines were good for everyone!(: everyone there was respectful and the environment was welcoming. Me and my boyfriend very much enjoyed every moment!(: I would suggest more bigger prize option out on the floor! But I will definitely be back!
We had a blast at Claw Arcade during their soft opening. The staff is so helpful and kind l, they really want you to win. The price per token is comparable and each machine is one token per play. I will be back for sure!
First time here and we had a blast. My three kids ages 16,10 and 9 all found plushies they loved. The staff were so personal, friendly and helpful. They also have super cute photo backdrop. We will be back!
My friend and I were here for a solid hour just playing the games. It was so fun. The staff running the counter was very nice. Always making sure things weren't impossible to win but also not just handing things to you either. Prices were reasonable for all the tokens you got. Clean and organized. Will be visiting again
We live by this place and decided to give it a try. Was actually kind of disappointed because the machines were filled only at the bottom. Staff, while was kind, was not active with the customers. We spent $40 and only left with 1 plushie. The selection was quite remarkable and it was only 1 token per play. But I think we're better off going to the one off of Lexington instead (Neko Clawww).
Incredibly friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Definitely a fun place to go to after getting some bubble tea down the road. They even prize trade ins and offer tips along the way. You also have to check out the photo corner!
A Christmas wish come true! Just last week, my wife mentioned she wished there was an ?arcade near me? that focused entirely on claw machines, and a quick Google search led us to Claw Arcade in Little Canada, Minnesota. The location is super convenient?just minutes from East Minneapolis and close to Roseville. Our entire family had a blast! The kids were thrilled to win plush doll prizes, and the variety of machines ensured everyone stayed entertained. The facility is clean, bright, and thoughtfully equippe
Love the energy here! The workers are very nice. Would most definitely recommend for a fun family time! I love the vibes here! Very kid-friendly! Ka was the nicest and friendly with everyone in my family! Would come again!!
Great experience! Super friendly staff! Guaranteed a win! We won 11 items with our 42 tokens.
Best place for kids and ADULTS! ?? Amazing staff, very friendly owners and they want you to win and have fun! You're missing out if don't go here.
Dropped in out of curiosity, there's a really fun selection of plushies and the staff are so nice and helpful! We each won a plushie, and it was so satisfying. You do have to work for it, those wins aren't automatic, but that makes winning all the more exciting. This would be so great for a birthday party or other gathering, excited to see where this new business goes.
Love this place!! Had a lot of fun and got the prizes I really wanted!! Leaving with a smile on my face and a good haul!! ?? will be returning again.
Super fun and super close to where we live! Out of the 4 claw places we pop into this one we didn't get much for $150. We had fun but left with 3 plushies, which 2 were traded in for 1 stretchy bracelet and a notebook and 3 key chains- so we left with 1 plushie. A lot of the plushies were too heavy for the claws and the machines were lightly stocked.( as you can see in the first photo all machines are just covering the bottom)Still fun though! We loved the fun drinks available.
My nephews loveeed this. It was super fun to try and really exciting winning. The owners are so kind and attentive. Helped us throughout if we wanted to switch out our prize.
Omg this place is so cute!!!!! I love all the cute toys and so fun! Went here with my boyfriend and his family! Would highly recommend!!!
Loved it!!!! My daugther and my son can be in here forever! Pricing is good and all the claw machine is fun. Don't be afraid to bring your date or your small kids!
This place was amazing. We came here because it was my sister?s birthday and we wanted to surprise her with cupcakes and at a place where she loves playing claw machines. We went in to ask if it would be ok to just surprise her and they set up a table for us and everything and provided her with extra coins to play! Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Both the kids and adults had so much fun. We will definitely be returning to this place.
Brought my 9 year old twins here for their birthday one afternoon. It was our first time here, and we definitely will be back. Extremely clean and the staff was very friendly. She helped my kids so they would win a few stuffed animals. To me, it was a great experience as my kids had fun and walked out with a bag of stuffed animals.
Had an amazing time! The staff working was super sweet and nice! Thank you so much for being super helpful with my son??
The employees were fantastic and super nice. Great atmosphere and the prices were great! We had a wonderful time and if we are ever in the cities, we would definitely come back to visit and play. Also, a great family friendly atmosphere!
So much fun!!! Come to Claw Arcade for great family fun!! Great place for birthday parties for all ages!! Such a great vibe and so much fun!!! ????????
It was a great place. We had a lot of fun and won quite a few prizes. The employee was very nice and very helpful. I highly recommend this place.
Great place to go! Wife and I went for the 1st time and were blown away by the generosity and kindness of the lady working there. Rearranged prizes to make it easier and even gave us some extra plays for free for being new customers
This place is very clean, organized. Staff is friendly and helpful. Good toys in there too!
Packed full of fun! Friendly staff, great prizes, and quality plushies!!
We had a blast. So much loot! Ying was very helpful giving us tips on how to get the claw to grab the prizes. We especially appreciated all the "assists."
Best claw location I've been to yet! And I've been to four locations within the twin cities! Super helpful and friendly staff! Would recommend to anyone in and out of town to give this place a try!
Won some unique and adorable plushies ?? Came back today for Grand Opening and won 8 plushies..traded in 7 for the Boba tea and kept a small one!! My friend won a cute Pokeman. Got a free keychain and bag! Very fun and busy! Awesome staff! Came back today for a 3rd time since my last winnings went to my niece, I won 9!
The workers are very nice and inviting, they even offer to move the toys around the machine so it's easier to win. My brother loves this and so do I!
Very helpful and friendly staff. They goes out their ways to help make sure you're able to get the plushie. I recommend this place if you want to take your kids and loves one for some fun
We went here for my boyfriend's birthday on a Saturday afternoon and were the only people there. The employees were super helpful and friendly. We won 9 small prizes and traded 7 up for a bigger one, which is really high quality. Overall a fun experience for a special event!
This place is amazing! We love the atmosphere, the owners are super nice! Would totally come again!
Claw Arcade is so much fun! I had the best time playing the claw machines and won so many prizes. If you're looking for a fun way to spend time and win cool stuff, this is the place to be. I can't wait to go back! Also, the staff is super friendly!
Super fun! I love the vibes and the appearance of the store, very cute! The owner of the shop was really nice and made sure I had an amazing time! Very welcoming! Definitely coming back!!!!
Amazing place to take the kids. Love the atmosphere and great employees.
Fun. A little expensive and there is definitely skill required. We just went for fun and set a limit on how much we'd be willing to spend. Between my 16yr old niece and I, we won 6 stuffed animals. There is an option to trade them in for other prizes but we didn't. The attendant was very kind and tried to help her get one that she ultimately couldn't succeed at. Would go again. It would be nice if they had more snack and drink options
We visited on Friday the 7th. A day after my kiddo's birthday. They gave her 10 free coins which was pretty cool. This place was very clean, the staff was absolutely amazing. They were so kind on helping my kiddo win what she wanted.. we were there about a hr.. we will be coming back! Thanks for a fun time
Super cute atmosphere, my daughter had so much fun trying to get the cute plushie. She was really happy to at least get 1-2 things. Definitely recommend parents to bring their kids here.
Here's an HONEST review, went a few months back before their ?Grand Opening? and they're not very friendly. Didn't walk around fluffing the plushies and talking to customers, they just stayed at the front desk gossiping. I had to walk and ask them to fluff at least 5 times because the toys were out of reach. Daughter was very discouraged after visiting, and I went based on the positive 5 star reviews which now seem fake. I would never come back, there are many other nicer arcades around now.
BEST CLAW MACHINE ARCADE! -Local -Kind Staff -Clean -Plenty of Prizes! -EASY to WIN! Easy going vibe, no pressure and a great place for kiddos!
We went in just to stop by and check it out and ended up having way too much fun there! The owner and staff were extremely kind and helpful. We got to learn about how dedicated and detailed they are about the arcade and walked out with really cute items! The vibes inside were so fun, we'll definitely be back.
The vibes of this place were so much more than what I was expecting. Kano was amazing and she helped us in so many ways. This place was so much fun and I will definitely be returning.
Owner and business partners are SUCH sweethearts. I loved hanging out here and talking with them! The toys are cute, and the machines are fun! definitely a place to add to your list of places to go!
Today we visited this claw arcade in Little Canada, and the person at the front desk was very friendly. The place is really nice ? they have cute plushies and keychains, and we were able to win some! It's definitely a fun and cozy spot, and they also play great music!
Came here with my friends to check out the Claw Arcade for the first time. We were welcomed in by staff and the environment very great! The music is great, and the staff are very kind. Would come here again!
Super cute plushies and winning them for my daughter!
Awesome spot came here on valentine?s Day we had so much fun and won lots of stuff would highly recommend great date spot
We came here after getting coffee because it looked so cute and ended up spending about 30 minutes here. It's such a fun and cute place to let out your inner child. 10/10 recommend!
What a fun, clean and energetic arcade. It was our first time here so I can give you details on what to expect. Each play is one token. Each token is a dollar. There is an extra 3.5% credit card fee added so bring cash if you want to save some $. There are lots of great plushies to try to win and you can trade up to larger prizes if you are skilled. We only won one with the $25 we spent but had a great time. The owners are very kind and caring. I definitely recommend coming here to try your luck!
Best bang for your buck! Machines were only 1 coin, which is better than other places. The workers were very nice and friendly. They repositioned plushies so I could win. Would definitely come back!
Awesome place. Took my wife here for her birthday today and man was she having fun. Good price for tokens as well. Recommending it to couples or families who just want to go and have some fun and relax with either themselves, with another or with family especially for the children.
Place was empty which was a red flag we ignored. We would grab an item and pull it to the top almost every time and the claw would drop it. Super rigged. The owner would fluff the machine up but it doesn't matter because the claw can't hold any of the items. We like the other claw places so much more!
Great place! Value is good I'd say. We went to another place in Eagan similar to this and I feel like these machines are way more fair. Lots of fun plushies and the upgrade system is very nice. Will come back again!
Great establishment. Friendly staff who helped set us up for a few prizes and popped in a few coins for us. Good customer service. Lots of machines and decent sized building. We will be back.
Sweet customer services good prices and fair machines. Had a really fun time ! Strongly recommended for young children or anyone in general. 100% would recommend.
Went here recently with my friend! They were doing some kind of raffle event that weekend? It was packed and the energy was great. Friendly staff and we won some cute prizes!!
Super underrated!!! They were super friendly. It was packed abd the games were challenging but not un-winnable. My friend and I traded up to a big prize and the associate working literally had to jump to get it for us. Hands down the best claw arcade I've ever been to ??
This place is so fun and welcoming! The toys here are cute and worth the time and money!
Had a blast, the machines are made to win and the staff are friendly and helpful. Thanks for the fun.
out of all 3 claw machines i went to today this is the only one worthy of a review and it's 5 stars at that. The stuffies were almost all very cute and the employees were very nice and generous with their fluffing when asked. Even with my bad luck it was a 10/10 experience would recommend to anyone.
Took a little trip around the cities and hit 3 claw places, and this was the only one we got 0/22. Our little group got 1/44 - mainly because they just kept dropping out of the claw no matter how good the grab. Definitely the worst one out of the 3 we went to. Claw Land in Maplewood is way better.
Tbh it was really and hella fun I won over 15+ plushies and holy moly the guy was the sweetest giving my little cousin the prize he wanted?? but it was a 5/5 ????
Had fun! Great fun for the children. Staff are there to help adjust machines if they get stuck or too hard. We left with 2 bags full of cute stuffies.
We had an absolute blast with our kids! The staff here is super friendly and welcoming. We can't wait to come back and we definitely recommend this place to everyone!
This is a good spot for the claw machine. Well hidden, but also a gem to just have some entertainment. Customer service was also very helpful and kind. The environment is small but just enough to walk through. The place isn't even busy during the afternoon. The claw machines also have some plenty of options to play as well.
This is a cute mini arcade. I had only spent $20 and won 4 prizes! I am excited for more plushies! I will be coming back!
So many nice plushies and so many options! Awesome customer service. Great selection of music. Feels so nostalgic?
Love this place. Staffs were very friendly. A lot of plushies option.
Had so much fun here with my younger siblings! Everyone was also welcoming and friendly! Will be back ??
I feel like reviews are based on ppl they know or family. I do not recommend this place, I would definitely check out neko clawww or duck instead. The first staff we met seemed kind, but as we were playing we notice staff was not attentive but was to ppl they know or there own family members, also we witness staff giving ppl prizes while unlocking the machine (which I assume are there kids or relative). We walked out with one toy and we have 2 kids. They didn't offer to the kiddos get prizes like Neko or Du
Best one in minnesota, it really tops the ambiance of the others. In the heart of rosedale. The staff are super friendly want you to win. The claws are not rigged and pay out often!! Amazing quality smaller prizes you want to keep them all. The big trade ins are to die for. This was written without the incentive of more coins!
My favorite Claw Arcade in the metro! The staff is so friendly and always so welcoming. They "fluff" the prizes if you're trying to win a specific one and are open to trades. They also have the cutest prizes compared to most arcades in MN. My husband and our go to whenever we're in the area!
Awesome won amazing watermelon for my kiddo. My friends and I had a blast.
Was a GREAT place won Alot of stuff spent 50$ didn't get moneys worth but I fun time with my family I went for my birthday and I would really recommend it 100% the best arcane place
So amazing!! And fun. We'll be back soon.
Every machine is one coin! Best feeling ever to win prizes for a coin ???? Super helpful and friendly staff ?? ?? Highly recommend if you need to get things of your mind. This place will not fail to put smile on your face ??
Super fun for family fun day! Friendly staff and nice selection of toys. Nice area and plenty spaces to park. Not too busy yet!
Looove this place! My kids had a great time and we got two stuffed animals and 4 key chains!
Love this place, definitely coming back!! Won cute stuff animals
Nice arcade! Fairly priced and they have a variety of prizes available. Service was also very pleasant!
Came in today with my sister's and had a very great fun time. The staff are also so friendly. Love it here
First time clawing! It was so fun and Ka was so helpful and sweet! Won the huge burger plushy and it was a thrill! Will be back!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
