What a fantastic place! The girls who work here and the owner are such amazing people! So generous and willing to help you out or move things around to give you a better shot. It was my 33rd birthday and they made it so special! Thank you so much!
Super cool place! The staff was so friendly! Place is pretty pricey and of course claw machines so you can spend a bunch to lose but the staff super makes up for that. Offering to rearrange stuff to help out if you aren't getting it. Plus you can trade in your stuffies for other prizes.
Friendly staff and a clean facility. The arcade provides clear drawstring bags to hold your winnings as you play the machines! You can trade up your winnings for different prizes too! I traded mine for a cute "lil monsters" plush keychain!!!
Amazing experience! Wonderful friendly staff! Everything was amazing, 100% would recommend!! I will be coming back!
This place is amazing!!! I went today and it is star wars day. Got a bag with so e swag. I spent 100 and you can see in the picture what i got. I will definitely be back.
Great place to take your kids. The employees are amazingly helpful. They will help you get a plush animal even if you have a difficult day using the claw machines!!!
The employees were excellent and provided great customer service. If there was a specific plush toy you wanted in the machine, they would move it around to increase your chances of winning. It takes a little time to get the hang of it, but once you do, you'll have a great time winning prize after prize. I will definitely return again.
We went to claw city for the first time and instantly loved the place. Filled with so many claw stations of various toys it was fantastic. Loved the vibrant ambience n the staff was very welcoming& friendly. From small kids to adults can enjoy this place. We forgot our child?s water bottle and they were prompt to call us on finding it . Worth visiting !
Really fun vibrant space! What a cool concept. Came here for my son's birthday. We'll be back again. Love that it's local and easy parking!
It was an excellent adventure for my daughter. The area immediately pops with a fun atmosphere full of neon colors. And funny ducks on the ceiling to peek at while your kids enjoy some games. I won a platypus! ??
They have real Labubus! Now that the most important thing has been said, this place is amazing. Cutie little plushies in the machines AND you can trade them in for tickets to get bigger prizes. This is my Disneyland.
So fun! We played for 30-40 mins, and the time flies. What a great thing for a rainy day! Just be careful; you run out of tickets before you run out of energy to win another stuffie!
Super cute place when we walked in. One of the young women working there was super friendly and asked if it's our first time. Walked around, very LIVE arcady atmosphere. The machines all looked really clean, and seemed like they had some really good power. We only spent about $20 and the woman let us take home a Blastoise even though we didn't win anything. Customer service was outstanding. Great experience, will come in again. Good job y'all ???????
This place is so awesome and very kid friendly. May saw my son struggling and came right over to help. She was so awesome and we left with very happy kids. Thank you May?.
I decided to pay a visit in the middle of a Friday, and this place is very wholesome. I set a budget of $60 for myself and my fiance, but I take responsibility for blowing through most of it. The prize variety is so cool. I wanted something out of just about every case, and I was so impressed by the selection. The place is clean, too! My eyes immediately scanned the carpet upon entering, and it passed my ocular inspection. What cemented the 5 stars was that I saw a kid really want a specific type of prize t
Claw city is AMAZING! I've been wanting to take my 3 year old here but was worried the claw machines would be too loose and take your money.. Not here?? I stopped by to check it out while my carpets were washing at the laundromat. Spent $20 and won 4 cute stuffies. Customer service is great. Fun/safe atmosphere. And they stay open later on the weekend Coming back tomorrow so my 3 year old can play, so much fun!!
BEST PLACE EVER!! Took both of our boys. We were a little worried since our youngest is special needs and has difficulty in busy places. The employees made the experience memorable and amazing. Thank you guys so very much!
This is probably the best, most generous claw arcade I've ever been to. The staff are super nice and helpful. They will help unstick, rearrange, and give plenty of tips and tricks on how to get your prize. They've even given free try?s to help you get what you're going for. I've never had so much fun doing claw games before. I highly recommend for kids or dates even.
Went with my wife and kids and had a lot of fun. Best advice I can give someone looking to go is do not be afraid to ask for help! The staff was very helpful and had had excellent customer service. We will definitely be back soon.
My kids had an absolute blast here. My youngest was thrilled about the claw machines for stuffies, while my oldest couldn't get enough of the Mario Kart arcade games. The chances of actually winning a stuffy are much higher compared to other places, which made it so much more fun and rewarding. The colorful interior is eye-catching, and the setup is super inviting. The decorations are amazing and really add to the experience. A well-done spot for family fun! The staff is super friendly as well!
This was our first time coming here and it was an absolute blast!!! From the moment we walked in we were greeted with friendly service and smiling staff. The amount of different claw machines was incredible. My daughter had a very unforgettable experience and we will definitely be coming back!!!!
Claw City is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the energy is vibrant, and the atmosphere is pure fun. The owner and employees are some of the kindest and most genuine people you'll ever meet. They truly go above and beyond to make every visit unforgettable. Whether it's the exciting games, the creatively designed space, or the little touches that make every corner inviting, you can tell how much heart goes into running this place. Our family always has the best time here, and it's clear that cre
First time in and we had a blast! Very fun for all ages. Will be back!
We have been to Claw City in Tigard twice now and each time we have had amazing experiences. Yesterday I took my son and we were lucky to be greeted by May! She was so sweet and highly attentive! She helped us when we needed it and made sure we were having a fun time. Even my son mentioned how awesome she was! I've been telling others about Claw City and we will definitely be back! Fun for all ages!
May who was working was so sweet and helpful and made the experience so great we had the best time!!
Not the easiest to win claw machines but definitely winnable. I didn't expect this place to be big but they actually got a good amount of crane games with different types. There's even a cute photo booth. Only some of the prizes were very cute, the rest were meh. But you can trade them in for points and get the prizes behind the counter which you can choose - as long as the they were won from 10 credit machines. We ended up spending a $100 there really quick but also got a good amount of plushies. These gam
Great spot! Machines are loose enough to not feel like a rip off and the stuffed animals in the machines are very decent quality. For sure will return soon!
staff is super friendly and willing to shuffle prizes around to help you win! i tried 7 times to get an inosuke plush and after the last try a worker came behind and just grabbed it out which was so kind! definitely check this place out. great vibes all around (:
Great place for the anyone who enjoy claw machines when they go to arcades .pokemon, Sanrio, Nintendo, etc. So many plush to choose from. Always have great customer services and so friendly! Thanks for being one of our favorite family spots.
The advertisments make it look so much bigger than it actually is. The machines were decent, and there were a LOT fo them, however- the claws all retract really fast so you'll drop a lot of prizes (as to be expected at a place like this). The trade up policy is also cool, as it gives you a chance to get something bigger or trade in a plush that you might not like for something you do enjoy. But it will cost you a lot to get to that point. Most machines are 12 points per play, and you load up your game cards
Fun and reasonably priced, good odds for the W. The staff are super friendly and helpful for repositioning blushes, and the machines are restocked frequently with new plushes and prizes to win. It's a fun place to hang out, good vibes,and has a free photo op area which is cool.
We had my daughter?s 8th birthday here. Amazing!! The private room was decorated & furnished with plates, cups, utensils, everything. The decorations were so cute. The staff was amazing. Liz was the best. I can't recommend this place enough for a birthday. It was amazing. We had the best time. Everyone that came to our party loved it. Thanks so much!!!! Thanks again Liz!!!
overall amazing experience! went for the first time today for my friend?s bday and the staff were super kind and helpful. they restacked the plushies to make them easier for us to grab, and when we were REALLY struggling, they ended up just giving up the plush we were trying to play for! great place to come if you have kids :)
So much fun! Great staff! Lots of fun games! Well worth coming down!
We had a phenomenal experience here for my daughter?s birthday. The party package did not disappoint. We loved the adorably set table, themed perfectly for my daughter in the party room. And the staff are super kind, patient, and helpful? they want the kids to be successful playing the claw machines! I would absolutely recommend this place. Thank you, Meg at Claw City, for helping to make this birthday special!
Place is clean, fun and the staff was amazing! They made sure everyone had a great time and really wanted all the kids to be successful. Our girls had a blast
Fun | friendly staff | good claws & prizes Wow, what a fun new place in town! I love claw machines, so I had to stop by. Good thing we went on a weekday because there wasn't really anyone there! Weekends are packed. I paid $60 for 340 credits and got a $25 bonus. I spent about 30-40 minutes and won a handful of plushies! The claws on these machines are not super loose, so you definitely get an excellent shot at winning something here. Plus, I noticed the play on moving these claws are much better than at
The staff is *so* wonderful and kind. Thank you for a super pleasant ?claw? experience! There's a great selection of prizes, and I love the trade up system. Would definitely come back again
Was so so excited to go to this place and it did not disappoint! The odds are incredibly good (especially on the smaller claw games) and I got so many plushies that were my favorites. I don't know his name but one of the employees grabbed two more plushies ?cause I wanted to complete my collection! Will definitely be coming back to this place next time I'm up in the area. Got the whole family playing games too :)
Very fun and enjoyable. The staff is friendly and helpful. We love that you can save your credits for a future visit. We will be back!
We love claw machines and this particular venue was great fun. Their staff are wonderful and made the experience wonderful and fun and we won a bunch of stuff and got to play Mario kart. A great pit stop for us.
Not gonna wasn't sure at first then after the first two wins I was HOOKED!!! Clawed?! Either way the atmosphere is fun and exciting the staff members are SO AMAZING they really want everyone to have fun and win something!!! Happy to say this may be a weekly adventure for the fun times and vibes
Such a fun place for the entire family. Great summer activity. The staff is great. Ask for May and she'll help you find a way to win and have a blast!
This place is so much fun!!! The staff is the best. We go play every couple of weeks and the staff lasts makes sure that my boys walks away a lot of toys and sometimes give him lots of changes to win a toy. I would say watch out for deal because it's a little bit on a price side. Did you know they do birthday parties!!!
OMG, what an amazing place! The games were awesome, even when we didn't win the employees made up for it. Definitely recommend for the whole family
What a great experience!! They want you to win and a rly cool employee by the name of M I forgot the rest of their name helped us and was super friendly!
This unfortunately was one of the most disappointing arcade experiences I've ever had. I'm no stranger to losing streaks and getting the short end of the stick with arcades. I'm okay with that, that's part of the experience and I usually still enjoy myself. But for spending $100 on a weekend (a weekend with additional bonus credits mind you) and leaving with essentially nothing is a bummer to say the least. I've played thousands of cranes over the years--it's what I primarily play at arcades--and these are
Amazing place! Suuuuuuper friendly and helpful staff.
Super great place! Lots of machines and the employees are the best. They help kids get more toys and give extra turns.
Very attentive and friendly staff! Such a fun and unique new place to take your kids (or adults) for an afternoon of cosmic claw play! Thank you, we will be back!
What an awesome experience! The employees here are really amazing and very helpful when it comes to showing tips and tricks to winning prizes. Best thing is that the reload card doesn't even cost a fee. So excited to come back again!!
My daughter had a wonderful time and won a lot of stuff the gentleman that helped us were super nice.
This place is amazing. The staff are excellent! Very caring, friendly and sweet. We had a great time here with the whole family. Will definitely come again! The plushies are quality and the machines are easy to use.
This place is a SCAM!! Spent $80 and it was gone in 15min!!! Screens by the joy sticks say each game is 1 credit but the actual cost is hidden lower down where you can't see it. Low quality items, flimsy claws. They say it takes 1-6x to win, which is $3-15! No signs explaining credits or house rules. OVERPRICED and deceptive. Not worth it. Go to the nickle arcade or Next Level, seriously. It disgusts me people would rip off families like this.
Madi is my fav I love her and everyone here is so chill and they really want you to have a good experience they don't ever try to show that they only want you to have a good time always good vibes and good people here at claw
My husband and I went to Claw City for Halloween and we had a blast. The place is a bit small, but had a ton of claw machines to choose from. We easily blew about $60 playing, but I was already prepared to spend about that much so it wasn't an issue for us and it was honestly worth it because we had a great time and we even got pretty lucky too (thanks to my husband being the claw machine master mostly lol). The staff was welcoming and super nice and personable and seemed to enjoy what they do. And since we
Very cool little spot. If you're good at these types of machines you'll probably find decent value. For someone who isn't that good at them (me) the return and the ?fun time? you get for your money is a bit rough. We did win some cool items - the smaller machines are definitely easier to pull wins-but $80 for 30 minutes of activity is, well, a lot ?So, just be prepared to drop some coin if you're looking for something to do for an hour (or less).
This place was surprisingly very fun! The customer service was out of this world. We will be back again soon!
Obsessed with this place! We had so much fun and will be back.
One of the most coolest and esthetically pleasing places to go to. Really cool and fun place for any age to have some fun!
Visited yesterday and had so much fun! This time we went in the morning and it wasn't as busy. The toys were piled high and had all changed from two weeks before when we first visited. This time I gave each kid a card Of their own and got one for myself so it was easier to manage expectations. It can get very exciting in there while winning! The staff is great and they want you to leave happy! If you are struggling with a machine/prize they will help with a win ?? just found out they have special deals ever
It was tough to realize how bad I am at claw games. Luckily got some helpful hints from the employees here, and that helped me and my son win a few extra plushies! Which made for a good time. Very easy to fly through credits, but definitely worth a visit!
I have had an amazing experience at claw city. I am love all of their prizes and the fun just keeps on coming! This place is great for all ages and makes lasting memories. As a first timer in Portland Oregon I would definitely recommend this place for a rainy day! Will for sure be coming back!!!
This place is easy to get lost in for hours! Best prize pool in Oregon. ??
The claws are a scam I spent $100 and didn't get much. The trick is to hit the button a few times after the toy is in the claw. It supposedly locks it which it not true. Dont spend your money here. Go to wonderland The staff is sweet.
Very friendly workers. Was our first visit and they explained it to us and made sure we got the best value. Even helped us with a few extra tries at the claw machine because we were so close to winning. Also showed us a special tip about a second hit of the button. Definitely our new day date location.
Very clean, decor (especially the ceiling) was really cool, and the customer service was excellent. They try and make sure everyone has fun, will do stuff like rearrange the machines if a kid wants to try for a particular item and give out free plays if the kids had several misses. Also if you don't want to keep them, you can trade the large stuffies for tickets at the counter and get all sorts of different prizes.
It was my first time in and really in a place that only does claw machines like that. I had SO MUCH FUN!!! Elijah was amazing!! They were super helpful. When he saw me struggling to get a tapatio squish he came over and adjusted it a little to get it to a better spot for me and even helped me spot it so I could get it out! And he dug out a big duck in another machine because it was buried and I got it first try!!! Will definitely come back again. Thanks Elijah for a great experience.
My girls played hooky from school and we just wanted to have a fun day! We have never been here before and the girls at the counter were amazing. They explained everything to me and even congratulated the girls if they won something. The kids had a blast! And honestly claw machine money goes way too quick at places but the girls played for a long time! Longer then expected and prices were reasonable!
This was the perfect date activity before dinner! My wife and I had a blast and we'd highly recommend it. Shout out to Sean for being so helpful! Loved his energy and excellent customer service
This place is a lot of fun. They have different promotions throughout the week so you can really make your dollar stretch and the staff are very friendly and very helpful and are even willing to swap out for kids if they're really really wanting something else than what they actually get. Highly recommend!
Very fun place for the kids. Staff was all very friendly,
Went for my son?s birthday and they didn't let him lose. He won his favorite shark. They gave us free game plays. Also helped my daughter win a purse. The staff is full of rockstars. Super cool folks.
This place is a lot of fun! Very cool decor, a lot of variety in games, prizes, and helpful, friendly staff. Great for date night or a family outing!
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! VERY IMPRESSED! Everyone that works there is SO nice and personable. The games range in difficulty but they're not too difficult to win something. The quality of the prizes are awesome and the people there are truly jazzed for you when you win! I highly recommend going here!
If you're ever in the PDX/Tigard area you HAVE to stop by. They're seriously the kindest claw machine business I've ever been to. They're more than happy to reposition any/all prizes. The prize selection was super cute and I can't wait to come back in the future! Me & my group (4 total) left with 12+ prizes after 45 minutes of play!
My kids always beg to go to Claw City and for good reasons! They have such a wide variety of plushies and are super nice! The workers are so helpful and very friendly when it comes to fluffing up the exact ones that they want. This is by far the best claw machine arcade in town.
It's fun, but considering how expensive each play is- the odds should be better. Don't go here unless you are prepared to spend $40 for a single plush. I think they offer an incentive program for good reviews- which is why it has so many stars. Bear that in mind. I also suspect when they first opened that they had better odds, then scaled them down once they had a following which is pretty shady honestly.
By far one of the best introductions to a fun atmosphere. Once we walked in we were immediately greeted and given a quick run down of how to get game cards and how to play and redeem prizes for bigger prizes or save points. We played the first claw game which touts a winner every time, but when that did have a hiccup the gal who helped us when we walked in immediately swiped her card and made sure we had a free play till we were able to win. By far the best, and I absolutely mean it, that this place is de
I've been here twice. Once when they opened, where we got numerous winnings and walked away happy. Second time I brought friends months later, and they've definitely nerfed the experience! We each spent $40 and walked away with NOTHING. Despite having captured the items in the claw, they would simply fall off by the sheer force of the machine moving them to the drop box. Our friends and I will not be coming back, unfortunately. I hyped this place up for everyone only for them all to be extremely disappointe
Had a great time with the family, my two boys loved it .. and the guys down at claw city! made sure we had a good first experience! so i know, you will too! Be sure to give an honest review! Appreciate you guys, that was awesome ??????
The staff made this experience from good? to fantastic. Always ?helping? my daughter get her favorite toy after multiple attempts. Always there to cheer the little ones on. We will definitely be back and this location is the furthest arcade/claw experience from us. Again the staff make it the best experience! Thank you!!!
The concept is cool. Burned through 40 bucks like it was nothing, though. They have cool stuffies in the machines. Some even adults can appreciate. I do want to go back and put like 40 bucks into the egg machine and see if I can find even one of these supposed keys they have in there. ?? they do have a lot of life-size stuffies, though. Got to find out where they get them.
I had a wonderful experience with Ari, Alima, and the entire staff at ClawCity. They were exceptionally helpful, supportive, and attentive to my needs. The team?s professionalism and friendly approach truly made my visit enjoyable. I highly recommend ClawCity to anyone seeking quality service and a welcoming environment. Thank you all for your outstanding support!
This is amazing. My kids had such a fun time. Even my 5 yr old won. Customer service was insanely great
This place was a blast lot of fun and the staff was very helpful
They are so nice here! They're often down to give a little help in terms of rearranging the items in the machine or even give you a little bonus credits if you're so close to getting something you want. I've been to many claw places and the vibes are the best here, hands down.
We LOVE THIS PLACE! It's my happy place they are so sweet there and will even fluffy the machines for you! It's great for kids 9f all ages cause they have little claw machines as well as the big ones. It's amazing
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.”
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
