Customer Reviews

My first time checking out Claw Corner and it was so much fun! I normally struggle to win prizes from claw machines but I won several times! I even traded the smaller plushies for a larger plush! The plushie section is top tier as well ??

We had a wonderful experience here! The selection was great with a lot of favorites like pokemon, stitch, kirby, sanrio, and more! It was super fun trying out each machine, and we won quite a lot. The options to trade are also awesome! They had extra large pokemon options, blind boxes, sanrio, and more as well. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They were always willing to reset the plushies in machines, and were actively restocking. I would definitely check this place out, and will be coming ag

Went in with 3 people split the $75 deal between us, we won 15 toys from the machines! We also got a few of the Gashapons, which cost between 2 and 3 coins each. Both employees were so kind and helpful, they were running a promotion that the owner had designed stickers for! 10/10 would recommend and come again!!!

Checked out their special preview opening, lots of machines to choose from with a great unique trade in system!

Went to the soft opening and my wife and I had a blast! We played a few machines and won like 6 plushies! I traded mine up for some Pok?mon packs. The plushies were great, they range from Kirby, Pokemon, BT21, Sanrio and more! It's nice that Redlands finally has a dedicated claw machine place. We'll be back!

We love supporting local business owners and we love this woman owned business!!! We went to one of the preview nights and their claw machines did not disappoint! The prizes were top quality prizes and they have an amazing trade in and trade up program that all kids, and adults would love! We can't wait to go back!

No lie the best place ever ever ever I had soo much .. we won a ton of plushies and they are soo amazing lol

The best Claw place in the IE, the staff were so friendly, and helpful, they genuinely want you to win. Walked out with a bag full of prizes, happy kids and Mom. They also run monthly Specials we got a Kuromi Keychain for spending $30.

I'm so glad this spot opened up in Redlands! I love how we can exchange our winnings for other items. I'm really looking forward to the gochapon to be filled up soon. So fun! :)

Amazing experience! The workers were so helpful! They went above and beyond! Me and my family will go back again!

Owner was really friendly and made sure guest were having fun ?? would really recommend checking this place out

I walked in and there were plenty of plushes everywhere! I got the #2 deal they have and took home a bag full of plushes, me and my family loved every single one of them, and gave some to our friends, definitely visiting again! Update: My family loves going to this claw place! Still recommend! Friendly people there too! We have a collection of plushies now

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.”
