Customer Reviews

So much fun! For big kids and littles. This was a unique and fun experience with a variety of machines to play. Staff was amazing! They were super helpful and polite. They also have a cute little Photo Booth with props that was a lot of fun. Stop in and make some memories. Warning, you might spend more than you planned because you're having so much fun.

This place is awesome. My daughter loves claw machines, and this place did not disappoint. Left with tons of prizes. You can trade up or keep the ones you win. Great place, excellent customer service, and an overall good time. Go check them out....

First time going to a claw machine place and it's a really good vibe to be in. Plushies are really cute and the employees are really nice and helpful for everything! Will definitely come again.

Really amazing staff with a fun atmosphere. CAUTION: You will blow through money quickly. We spent $100 for 5 kids. They ran through that in probably 30 minutes. This was a birthday wish for our daughter. She loves claw machines, and this was what she wanted to do. So we came with siblings and friends. They had a good time. One of them had horrible luck and walked out with nothing except something she paid for from the shop and a plushy a friend gave her. Staff did offer to give her something, but she dec

Super fun place! Came here for my birthday and all the plushies are super cute :) I will say the Pokemon claw machines are 2 tokens rather than 1, but the single token machines are super doable and fun. I bet this place is really fun for kids, and it felt nice to actually be able to win claw machines.

This is a very fun place to visit, all t h e games are great. All my 3 grandchildren had a wonderful time here. I am highly recommend all ages kiddos come to visit. ??????

Had an awesome time! Being able to actually play claw machines and win was such a fun feeling! My daughter had a blast! The prizes were great and being able to trade up for larger prizes made it more enjoyable! Clean and friendly staff willing to help and made you feel welcome!

Absolutely amazing!!! My friends and I had so much fun playing the claws and using the photo booth. The employees being so willing to reorganize the machines was so amazing!! Great experience

Clawzania was so cute! There are plenty of games with a variety of different plushies and it's very easy to win prizes! We filled a whole bag full on just 28 tokens!

My kids love claw machines and this was the perfect afternoon outing for them! There's so many machines to choose from and the photo booth is a fun addition.

My daughter loved this place. The people working there are so nice and they make sure you are able to take something home. My daughter filled up her bag!

Kids love this place. I came from Austin and our friend and my family had a blast. And got so many stuffed animals.

What a fun time! My 6 year old was able to get more than 10 toys! My 5 year old got 5. They traded for different, bigger stuffed animals. This place is really cool and we'll be back!!

The selection of prizes and the claw macgines were awesome. Matthew was an excellent host, offering assistance and checking to see how we were doing during ournvisit. We are surelyngping to return! Thabk you for a great time!

Super cute arcade full of claw machines filled with plushy prizes. You can keep your plushies or trade them up for larger prizes. They have an assortment of other collectible items as well. Also check the cool photo booth in the back for a photo op worthy of the gram. ?? Neat place. Will be back.

Fairly easy to play, cheap plays. You go out the door with guarantee plushies. I would recommend this place to everyone!

It's super fun play to enjoy with your family and kids! Must come

We love this place! It's so much fun for a date night or hang out with friends AND the plushies are adorable! Check it out!!

Let me start off by saying this was our first time here and we came for my daughter?s birthday. The staff was absolutely amazing super helpful and made sure we knew how everything worked. My kids all had an amazing time and we will be back for sure if you haven't been here 100% recommend checking it out. Also very clean and welcoming environment.

I really like it here! Very clean space and the staff are very friendly. the photo booth in the back is super fun and great for kids of all ages

had an amazing time at this claw machine arcade! The place is super clean, well-lit, and packed with a wide variety of machines ? from classic plush toys to high-tech challenges with electronics and collectibles. The staff was friendly and helpful, even giving me a few tips that helped me win a prize! What I liked most was that the machines weren't rigged like in some places; I actually had a fair chance to win. Great for a fun outing with friends or family. Definitely coming back again!

The place is small, but they have several claw machines. The staff was excellent. They are very attentive to customers & restocking the machines. The claws machine are reasonably priced. This a place to take your family, date or by yourself...

They adjusted the machine too much, it was really hard to win. I've been so many claw machines places but this one got me disappointed. Also, they said on the menu if you buy $25 and up, they will give you a free bag, but I got nothing from them? I used to play in Houston a lot, and it's much easier, the staff will help you out if you really like a specific you and spend around 10 coins on it but still couldn't get it. Not recommended and never come back. The store was really empty and now I know how they d

Super amazing place. The staff was so kind and offered to ?fluff? the plushies so better chances. It's a little pricey but IMO very worth it.

came here with my besties and loved the experience. the workers were the nicest people and got so many cute prizes. not rigged and you can ask for them to move things around for you to make it easier. loved it!

I want to give a huge shout out to Daniel!!!! He was so sweet! My son has Down syndrome and when I tell you he was so patient with him it melted my heart! He also helped my youngest son as well! I just loved the customer service! They both had a blast! We will be back! Have an awesome weekend!

Love it here! The staff is nice and friendly! We love the atmosphere! You'll definitely win and gamble some money ??

This is a place that I would recommend to everyone! Catches are easy and inexpensive, and you are guarantee to get something when you leave.

I recently visited Clawzania, and it was an absolute blast! The atmosphere was lively and fun, making it perfect for both kids and adults. The claw machines were well-maintained, with a great variety of prizes that were actually winnable?unlike many other places. I loved how clean and organized everything was, and the staff were super friendly and helpful whenever we had questions. The pricing was reasonable, and we even managed to snag some cool prizes, which made the experience even more rewarding. I'd h

Pretty interesting claw place and it gives good prizes for not a lot of tries. Would recommend if you like claw machines and prizes.

Fun place lots of cute prizes great family fun the staff is nice especially Aiden

Kids had a blast. Staff was super helpful! Will definitely be back!

The place is really nice and the staff is always willing to help so you'll never leave empty handed

This location is the best, my spouse hates claw machines, always feeling so much when they win nothing but not this place. They have so much fun here than many other places we've been to. For me, I can get 3 out of 5 plushies, my sister loves this place so much that we go once a month. It's now an addiction ?? If you have the skill you definitely can get a lot. Most of the machines are one coin per play except for the pokemon which are 2 coins. Plenty of plushies to choose and trade.

soooo cute and fun!! so many cute plushies too to win! also k-pop music is such a plus ??

The people here are so sweet! The employees are very helpful and will move a certain for for you if you cant catch it. Definitely recommend for a good date or with your girl friends!

OMG I followed the video and found the sign made by homie Tony, it is installed in the store! Thank you for supporting Tony! The sign looks absolutely cute and stunning!

I came here with a group of friends and had the most fun I had in a while! The staff was super super nice and made sure your experience was fun and worth the money! Ashlyn was especially so kind and helped my group out a bunch and offered to move the plushies so it could be easier to grab I am definitely coming here again and splurging I recommend!!

Huge selection of plushies! Honestly probably the most affordable crane arcade in DFW. Helpful staff!

so much fun!! you actually have a good chance of winning and you can trade stuffed animals for bigger ones at the end:)

I'm having so much fun at Claw Zania! The atmosphere is electric, and the games are a blast. I've already won a bag full of prizes, and I'm not done yet! The variety of games keeps it exciting, and the chance to win cool stuff makes it all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend for a great time!

I had fun playing with the claw machines and mainly just came for the experience. The tokens are basically $1 each, but you will get extra tokens once you buy more than $25 worth. Most of the claw machines are 1 token to play and just a few were 2 tokens for the bigger plushies. You can request to have the plushies rearranged that way you can increase your chances of obtaining the plushy that you want. You can also trade in a certain amount of small plushies for a bigger one. I hope they come out with cuter

First I'll say the staff were excellent. Very nice and willing to move plushes to make it easier. What I recommend is that they add rubber tips to the claws because it was pretty difficult to grab plushes unless they were high up and not stuck. Craft Land in Houston was much better.

Very nice staff, and the plushies are cute with a wide variety and selection. They also have a Photo Booth with props in the back of the store and Japanese collectibles in the front. Highly recommend this store!

A great experience, came to celebrate my son's birthday. It was very fun, and we got a lot of help from the staff. Will be coming back soon ??

Thank you Vivian for making this first time a magical and wonderful experience. This place is so fun

This place is a blast! My daughter is 9 and claw machines are her favorite thing. We brought her in blind folded for her birthday and her jaw dropped wide open when we took it off! She is the happiest girl today! You must come here if your kids love claw machines!

BEST PLACE EVER FOR CLAW MACHINES VERY CLEAN AND CUTE AND THE WORKERS R SO NICE AMAZING PLACE AND REALLY CHEAP AND AFFORDABLE

This place is so amazing and fun to go on a fun event for. The employees were so kind enough to offer help for us!

I took my girls and they LOVED it. Very cute plushies and my little one came out the winner between all of us. Had so much fun and can't wait to come back again! Super clean and bright inside the store and the cutest Photo Booth, too!

Love ittt here. I'll definitely come back

If you want a fun time seriously come here. If you have issues grabbing the animals, and you ask nicely for help - they will fluff them up or just give it to you. The prize my son traded for had a hole in it, and they didn't have any others. They gave us free tokens as a gift for the inconvenience. The workers are always so nice, and provide great customer service. We always have a blast!

Love it here! My nanny kid and I enjoy exchanging our regular plushies for the bigger plushies!! Employees are all fun, too! Cool place

Such a great find! If you love playing claw machines this is the place to be. So much fun at an affordable price!

This place needs like five more Vivians, she was so sweet! I've come in a few times already but she definitely made my most recent experience here special.

Had an awesome time!! 20th in line, won my daughter a Labubu first shot!! Friendly staff, very helpful and kind! Can't wait to come back!!

We came here for my birthday and had a blast! Love the claw machines!!

Such a fun place!! And the claw machines are super fun and easy to win! Olivia was a big help!

Had a lot of fun with my friend! I really like that they have options for trading in smaller prizes for the really big ones, and it's not very hard either! I really reccomed!

This was so much fun. Definitely recommend. We won alot of stuff.

My three year old loved ?? this place. She loves claw machines and this place gave her an opportunity to win many teddy bears ?? for her collection

I went on my birthday June 19 2025 and it was so fun it was my first time and I don't regret it I recommend it's a fun store

This place is super fun. You get to collect small prizes to trade up for a bigger one! Staffing is super nice

They made the machines much harder to win and raised the # of tokens required to play the machines. Prizes are all cheap knock offs of extremely low quality. Don't come here unless you want to waste a lot of money for 10 minutes of entertainment.

What a great place to play indoor when it's rainy outside. We came from Houston. Kids really enjoyed it. No one goes home crying cause they want us to win.

Fun, air conditioned family fun, affordable activity! 10/10

I took my kids Thursday afternoon. Two 9 yr olds. We spent $60 total, $25 each kid the another $5 each just because. We were there maybe an hour or 1.5 hours. My daughter got 8 and my son got 11 plushies. My son traded 8 for a larger one. My daughter wanted to walk away with many so she kept all the small ones. Overall it was cute and they had a good time. The restroom needed some attention but hopefully it's fixed by the true opening. The staff was outstanding. All of them were super helpful and s

My friends and I love coming here to see all the amazing plushies they have! We love the ambiance and the service! One of our favorite places to go!

Our daughter loves it here. Prizes feel fair, games are fun. Lots of selection. Definitely captures the Japanese gacha arcade feel!

Fun and unique spot! My daughter loves coming here.

SO MUCH FUN. Staff is friendly and super accommodating.

The employees are super nice and awesome here! We had a blast

Great way to spend lots of money in a very short amount of time. The staff was nice and agreed to ?fluff? the plushies to help our chances but still spent way too much money in a short 30 minute (if that) time period

Friendly staff and fun atmosphere. The highlight of my day. I challenge you to not constantly say Da Claw in your head when you play the machines

This was a surprise for my son and he had so much fun. This is a great concept for all ages. The employees were so nice and helpful.

This place is amazing for a date night or hanging out with friends!! The staff was so sweet and friendly. This place is really cool and y?all should come check it out! It's only one dollar to play for most of the games! These are all the things we won!! You can also trade in small plushies for a bigger plushie!!

Very fun and interesting experience with a helpful staff and a clean environment with high quality machines. Will recommend to friends and family as well as be back again!

Second time here and kids still love it! Awesome customer service!

Very fun place for kids and they even help you out for the kids to get the plushy they want. Easy win for the kids. They love it. Highly recommended

Super fun and cool place for the kids! Claws are fully functional and odds of winning are very fair!

So much fun and very addicting!! Def a fun place to go with friends and family!!

Drove way to far to get a stuffed animal that had a huge tear under the arm. Had to drive back to swap it. Waste of time and money. Don't bother trying to get a labubu here, its a joke.

Great place to win some easy plushies!

The staff was so sweet, and my birthday girl had a blast!

This place is very cute and has lots of cute claw machines! It's not super big but has enough where you can enjoy yourselves. Good for adults and families!

super fun, super cute, employees are very friendly and helpful! Environment is great and awesomee! Coming back soon someday

Okay we love it here!!! Our 2 year is literally obsessed. Can't wait to come back!!!!

Very kind ladies and fun for all ages! Also really awesome trade in options!

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.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

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.
